It seems odd to reflect to-day that only seventy years ago there were no cigarettes—they hadn’t been invented. When they made their first appearance in London they were regarded as just a passing fancy by pipe smokers; as for ladies they hadn’t learned to smoke them or for many a year after that. And now millions of smokers of both sexes delight in cigarettes, and what’s more, about 80 per cent, of them roll their own. Here in N.Z. the two most favoured cigarette tobaccos are Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, and you can roll ten beauties of either for 4d or less. Yes! they’re toasted — that’s why they’re so good! Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, and Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog) are toasted, too, but they’re for the pipe, and for solid comfort and enjoyment there’s nothing to touch them. No harm in them either—they’re toasted ! There was a time when smokers used to ask where they could buy these brands. They know better now—it’s at the nearest tobacconists. (630)
