They were talking tobacco at the Travellers’ Club (London), when somebody just back from his travels chipped in. “Tobacco”? he said: <4 I can tell you something. I’ve smoked pipe tobacco in half the countries of the world, but the finest 1 ever struck was in New Zealand. Grown and manufactured there. It owes its outstanding merit to bei‘ag toasted, and the toasting rids it of its nicotine, so that it’s- safe to smoke to any extent. Tell me of any other tobacco of which that can be said. The toasting gives it its incomparable flavour and delicious bouquet. Got the brands — there are only four —jotted down in my notebook here: Riverbead Gold, Cavendish, Cut Plug No. 10, and Navy Cut No. 3.” Here he dived A)to bis bag and produced a big tin of Navy Cut, which he handed round. Those who sampled it were enthusiastic in its praise. And no wonder. New Zealand toasted tobacco is the purest and most fragrant manufactured. Don’t forget there are only four 1 brands—also that there are imitations 1 about. —T.T. 155
