“He was seated on a bench beneath a shady tree, in the grounds, when I met him,” writes a visitor to one of Auckland’s homes for the homeless. “I’ve been an inmate of this place for year,” he told me, “and I often sit here thinking of old times, and old mates dead and gone. Yes, I’m lonely, but” (brightening up), “I still have my pipe!” Before we parted I gave him a tin of New Zealand tobacco I chanced to have with me. You should have seen his delight! “They out tobacco here once a week,” he said, “but it’s not Cut Plug No. 101 Thank you a thousand times, sir!” I left him quite happy—for the timesing—but fear he has not too much happiness now, poor old chap.” Smokers don’t need to be reminded that Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) is one of the five famous toasted brands, the others being Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. They are as delicious as they are harmless. Toating frees them oi their nicotine.
