“I don’t know,” said the tobacconist to the scribe, “that it’s as unlucky as they say for three smokers to light up from the same match, but I do know it’s unlucky—deuced unlucky—to pass your pouch along to some absent-minded beggar who forgets to return it. I lost a fine pouch that way once —but never again! What do I smoke myself? Why, ‘toasted.’ I’d smoke something better if I could get it. Give me a pipe of Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) —say after lunch—and I wouldn’t call the Queen my aunt! Old smokers love it! Other genuine toasted blends? Yes—two others for the pipe Cavendish and Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). Then there’s Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, the two most fancied cigarette tobaccos. See the run on them! . How do I account for the popularity of ‘toasted’? Well, it’s partly due to the quality of the leaf, and partly to the manufacturers’ toasting process. There’s no ‘bite’ in toasted.” The reporter took a note of it and lit his pipe.
