The famous tobacco-box formerly belonging to Sir Walter Raleigh is still in existence, and is now a museum piece, and, of course, extremely valuable on account of its history and associations. Fashioned of metal, it is cylindrical in shape, seven inches high, thirteen inches in diameter, and the outside cover is of gilded leather. It holds about a pound of tobacco, for, of course, Sir Walter loved his pipe. One wonders what his tobacco was like? Hot and strong, probably, and not in the least like our own “toasted,” which is neither hot nor strong, but cool, sweet and fragrant, and just about as pure and delicious as it can be. Comparatively harmless, too, owing to its nicotine being largely eliminated by toasting, so that overindulgence won’t affect you. Tlie genuine toasted brands are: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. They’re all good—so good, in fact, that they’re being imitated. So the safest way when you buy is to ask for the brands named. The imitations are worthless.
