Wincheombc in Gloucestershire, claims the honour of being the first place in the Old Country to grow the weed. The dried and cured leaf was comparatively expensive at first, but by the time of Janies 11. the “best Virginia” was sold at 2s per lb., and was in great demand. It would be interesting to compare, if that were possible, the tobacco of that day with that of our own day. Modern methods of manufacture have of course worked wonders. Some of the purest tobaccos now on the market are 'grown in New Zealand, and they owe their fine flavour largely to the fact that they are all toasted—a new departure. Owing to their containing such a trifling amount of nicotine these brands may be smoked all day without unpleasant' or injurious consequenc.es: “Riverhead Gold” is a fine aromatic tobacco; “Toasted Navy Cut” (Bulldog label) medium, and “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bull’s Head) full-flavourjid. They are meeting with a big sale! 25
