They were talking about local industries in the smokeroom of an Auckland Club the other night. "I remember when the first New Zealand tobacco came on the market, nigh upon half-a-century ago ” remarked the ancient mariner smoking the big cherry\\food, ‘‘the lines included both cut and plug —of sorts —also little smokes called “cigarillos”—just a bit of leaf with a filling of ‘cut-up.’ They had it ’ fair sale—for those days—but the manager (an old-friend of mine) told iVie it was the foreign labels he’d had printed ahd stuck on : the boxes that sold them. No use, he said, to offer them as New Zealand made —no one would have looked at them!” What a change the years have wrought! Today our beautiful New Zealand tobaccos—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold—require no foreign labels to sell them I They sell at sight, and the demand is always growing. Not only is the quality superb but they’re harmless no matter how freely you indulge. They’re i toasted!
