“Are men or women the best judges of tobacco?” queried the reporter. The tobacconist lit a cigarette. “Why, men, of course,” he* “but some women know what’s what. When a man strikes a brand he likes it’s generally for keeps. Why, one of my ‘regulars’ has been smoking Cut Plug No. 10 for 20 years, and another has been puffing Navy Cut No. 3 for nigh as long. Women aren’t like that as a rule. They’ll go for anything new, and a neat tin with a ‘pretty’ picture on the lid usually fetches them.” “Those brands you’ve named are ‘toasted,’ aren’t they?” “That’s right, and they’re about the pick of the basket, if you ask me. They’re for the pipe, same as Cavendish (another*fine brand). The other two toasted blends, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, are cigarette tobaccos, very popular with the roll-your-own brigade; also tailormades. We sell any quantity of all brands. Hardly any nicotine in toasted, one reason why it’s so popular.” The scribe “made a note of it” before he vanished. He’d got an “item.”
