Oh, yes. They grow tobacco in England. But the English climate is not ideal for the purpose, and the only place where tobacco is now cultivated in the Old Country is Church Cookham, in Hampshire. Far greater success has been achieved by growers in New Zealand, where our toasted baccy has made a lasting reputation for itself, and is now favourably known far and wide. Not surprising, either, because the greatest care is exercised in the culture of the plant .and the selection of the leaf — invariably of the chocest quality. Also the health of the smoker is safeguarded, because the toasting to which our tobaccos are subjected in the course of manufacture cleans up the nicotine in them to so considerable an extent that they are made as pure as it’s possible for tobacco to be. The six famous blends—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Pocket Edition, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold are m ever-increasing demand. The first three are unequalled for the pipe; the three last make the most ■fascinating of all cigarettes.—269.
