An old salt was yarning to a ( group of interested listeners down on the waterfront at Auckland the other afternoon about “lang syne.” Said he as he filled his pipe. “There was no smart terbacconists’ shops in them days in our ‘Queen City.’ If you wanted baccy you had to go to one of tho general stores what sold everything, from a needle to an anchor. Plug it was. Black, powerful strong, too. We coves used to smoke it ’cause wo couldn’t get nothing better. Nowadays you can buy prime ’cut-up’ at any terbacconists. My fancy is for New Zealand—Cut Plug No. 10. Full flavoured. I never sampled a terbacca fit to compare with it. They tell me it’s toasted, and that’s what gets the nicotine out of it. It’s that pure you can smoke a bale of it and take no harm.” This ancient mariner’s fancy for Cut Plug No. 10 is shared by thousands of old smokers. But. there are three other brands equally popular—Navy Cut No. 3, Cavend’sh. and Riverhead Gold, nil toasted,*
