Bright and early the other morning an old Maori woman, wearing a man’s battered felt hat and a brightly coloured shawl, was seated on the steps of a warehouse in Customs Street, Auckland, calmly smoking a blackened clay pipe. Two smartlydressed laughing girls passed. Said one: “How. happy that old thing looks!” “She’s enjoying her afterbreakfast pipe,” said the other. They seemed much amused. “I wonder,” said the first, “what kind of tobacco she smokes —must be something special, I should say.” “Let’s go back and ask her,” said her friends, “just for fun.” So back they went and asked her. The old dame smiled, and said: “Cut Plug No. 10,adding that she always smoked it. It 'is one of the five famous toasted tobaccos: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, and their rare flavour and delightful fragrance appeal to pakeha and Maori alike. And they have another outstanding merit —they are harmless! It’s the toasting, that eliminates the poisonous nicotine! But beware of worthless imitations!
