George Robey, the famous London comedian, relates in his amusing reminescences, that he smoked his first cigarette when he was 14 and enjoyed it so much that he annexed one of his father's pipes “and had a go at that.” He sums up that experience in two words—“Oh my I” He left tobacco severely alone after that for a long time. Then he tried again, “and ever since has preferred a pipe to any other way of smoking.” Well, there’s nothing like a pipe—unless it’s a cigarette, but make sure your tobacco’s right. It should be pure, have flavour and aroma, and be as free as possible from nicotine. So those who smoke “toasted” can’t go far wrong! For it’s wonderfully pure, there’s next to no nicotine in it, because it’s toasted, consequently harmless. And so for flavour and bouquet where can you find its equal? Five brands only of the genuine toasted: Gut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. :$ (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. They vary in strength, but the quality’s the same—unapproachable.
