How to Spoil Your Tobacco.

Tobacco is the most sensitive thing
in the world. You can spoil the best
cigar, pipe or cigarette that ever was
made by lighting it over a smoky lamp
or gas jet. The finest tobacco that ever
grew doesn't taste good after you have
been eating onions. Again, you should
rinse your mouth out after a cigar,
pipe or cigarette before lighting an
other. If you do you will find that
every smoke has the soft fragrance Of
the early mornir~-cigarette, instead of
the hot staleness of the last pipe.
