“When I heard they were growing and manufacturing tobacco in New Zealand,” writes Mr Jas. Scattergood, a retired wholesale tobacco dealer, in a London trade journal, “I was not keenly interested, concluding that probably the stuff wasn’t worth smoking, but last year, when I visited New Zealand to see my married daughter, 1 found to my surprise that the New Zealand toasted tobacco had actually become a serious rival to the imported article! —and that it is not only of superfine quality but that, thanks to the small amount of nicotine in it, it may be smoked ad, lib. without a particle of harm resulting to the smoker. After 50 years in the trade I can say unhesitatingly that I know of no other tobacco like this.” Well, Mr Scattergood, there is no other tobacco like it! It is unique. And the four toasted brands, Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), are as well-known as Mount Cook. Tho comparative absence of nicotine in them (eliminated by toasting) is the secret of their j harmlessness.*
