Mean smokers? Yes, we’ve all met them though (fortunately) they’re in the minority. There’s the chap that bogs a fill, takes a generous one, and then (absent-mindedly): slips your pouch into his pocket. There’s tlie joker who finds he has left his purse on the piano or something and borrows a bob to buy ’baccy with. You can kiss that bob good-bye. You’ll never see it again. The cadger will smoke any sort, but prefers National Tobacco Co’s goods. Shows his goad taste. This tobacco is the purest and freest of nicotine of any. Unequalled for flavour and bouquet, too. This is largely because it is toasted in which respect it differs from all other tobaccos. It is in fact unique. There arc various brands. Those most asked for are, “Riverhead Gold” (a mild and delicious aromatic); “Cavendish” (sporting mixture), “Navy Out No. 3’’ (a delightful blend of choice leaf); and “Cut Plug No 10’’ (a fine, rich, dark, full-flavoured sort the old smoker will especially appreciate). Remember all are toasted and therefore safe; no bite, no after effects.— Advt.
