“Does your missus allow smoking in the ’ouse?” queried the hen-peck-ed little party in the faded suit of blue. The jolly companion laughed. “Of course she does!’ he said. “Smokes any quantity of cigarettes herself; rolls her own.” “Wish mine did,’ replied the little man gloomily. “She fair ’ates bacca, can’t bear it, sez the smell makes ’er sick.” “Get her to try a bit of ‘toasted’ same as my old woman smokes, and I’ll wager she’s smoking like a chimney afire before long. Toasted Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold are the two best cigar-, ette tobaccos on the market bar none, very sweet and cool, with a bouquet to beat the band! As you smoke a pipe, I recommend toasted Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish or Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). The wife can’t object to those—full of fragrance, and being toasted, can’t hurt anyone.” The little man said he’d “give it a go,” but he didn’t look happy. Far from it. Recognised he’d got a tough contract in front of him, probably.
