"I sec from the papers," remarked a veteran clubman, "that they're smoking more cigars in England now than for years past." "They're welcome,' said somebody else. "I'd sooner have my old briar than the best cigar going." "Same here,' chipped in the chap with the smart smoking cap, "nothing like a pipe—especially if it's crammed with 'toasted'—preferably Navy Cut No. 8." "I've never sampled 'toasted,'" said the veteran, "something extra special?" "Yes. In fact it's 'toasted' first and other brands amongst the 'also ran!' Give it a go, major, and as an old smoker, try Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead). It's full strength. Oh, and there's another toasted brand for the pipe—Cavendish—the sporting mixture, and two cigarette blends, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. You'd say they were imported if you didn't know better." "Well," said the veteran, "since they're all N.Z. grown and manufactured, you say, I suppose I can get them anywhere?" Of course you can, old man, at any tobacconist's shop." And they adjourned to the card-room for bridge.
