“In the days of my youth,” writes Professor Malcolm Mendip, in his entertaining “Reminiscences,” “smoking in the streets by men was riot considered comme il faut. As for women, : they did not smoke at all. And for every man who‘ smoked sixty years ago a hundred smoke now. Well, I have nothing against smoking, for either sex, so long as the tobacco-is of the best, and not overloaded with nicotine. Unfortunately; nearly all brands of tobacco in use in England to-day contain a very high percentage of nicotine. Smokers are better 0ff,,1 am told, in New Zealand where : the locally grown tobacco is toasted, and thus deprived of its nicotine contents. .This is said to be the purest (as well as the choicest) tobacco extant. Happy New Zealanders!” The Professor was alluding, of course, to the famous brands “Riverhead Gold;” “Navy Cut No. 3,” “Cavendish,” and “Cut, Plug No. 10”—because these are New Zealand’s only toasted tobaccos. Their popularity is demonstrated by their extensive sale. They are all remarkable for their captivating flavour and unequalled bouquet.*
