“Well, come now,” said Counsel, persuasively, to a defendant in a southern civil case, when the man pleaded inability to pay £2 per month to plaintiff, “don’t you think you could reduce your living expenses a bit? There’s tobacco now. Isn’t two shillings a week rather much for you to be spending on that?” “Depends on the tobacco,” replied defendant. “There are some brands I wouldn’t give two bob a cartload for. But I don’t smoke ’em. See?” “What brands do you smoke?” enquired Counsel. “New Zealand toasted Cavendish if you want to know. No nicotine in it. The toasting takes it out. That’s why. My pipe is my only pleasure, and I can’t do with less than twm bob’s worth a week. See?” Counsel didn’t press the point. Doubtless he smokes himself. New Zealand toasted tobacco is certainly seductive. It’s true that—unlike the imported goods—it contains no nicotine to speak of. And such a flavour and aroma! There are four brands; Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No, 10. They are all good!
