They were swapping "moan man” stories in a smoker of the WeillingtonAuckland express. The man in the corner took the bun. Said he knew a chap who never bought tobacco if he could "borrow” it. This pairty. carried two pipes. One held a thimble-full, the other about a quarter of an ounce. When he asked for a till he showed you the little pipe. But directly he got hold of your pouch he pulled out the big pipe and crammed it with your "weed.” When fellows tumbled to him they cut him. He’s particularly partial, it appears, to New Zealand tobacco. It’s certainly good, with a fragrance and aroma of its own. Most of the imported brands reek with nicotine. That’s why their constant use is bad. The N.Z. tobaccos are so pure and so comparatively free from nicotine that you can puff them all day without fear of consequences. You can’t beat them fine aromatic; "Toasted Navy Cut” (Bulldog), medium; or "Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead), full strength.* —69
