Mine host has rather catholic tastes in the smoking line. He smokes practically anything; and has never yet been known to jib either at the contents of any of his own boxes, bar the tupp'ney Superfine Excellanzas, as supplied to the Royal Family, or the case of a favoured and regular customer. If he has a preference at all, it is for a dark-coloured, full-flavoured Mexican.
