“The finest tobacco I ever smoked I bought in New Zealand,” said Mr. Kennedy-Smith, a well-known Leeds business man, on his return home after a flying visit to this Britain of the South. He was addressing a Rotary gathering,- and members evinced great interest in what he told them. “The New Zealand tobacco is toasted,”,” continued Mr. Smith, “and the toasting frees it of nicotine, so that it is quite harmless, Toasting also vastly improves the flavour and gives it its much prized bouquet. There’s no purer tobacco in the world. The American tobaccos, mostly containing an excess of nicotine, are not in it with toasted New Zealand, which, by the way, nearly everyone I met seemed to be smoking.” A true bill, Mr. Smith! There are only four brands of toasted tobacco: Riverhead Gold, Cavendish, Cut Plug No. 10, and Navy Cut No. 3. They are all good and are all popular. Their success has brought imitations into the field. That was to be expected! Look out for them. (154)
