“Packet cigarettes still command an extensive sale in New Zealand,” states a big iniporter, “but a change is coming. In fact, it has begun. Thousands of smokers Who formerly purchased their cigarettes ready-made; now ■:' roll -their own. That is' partly, due to the bad times, doubtless. But/it' is .indisputable, nevertheless, that even ’ the choicest packet goods cannot. compete with the newly-made article-smoked* as soon as it is rolled. Ready-mades'.’are | often in stock for months/ even for i years, and'the longer'they are kept the more they “go off.” The flavour deteriorates very rapidly. Nowy the chap that rolls his own usually buys his tobacco an ounce or two at-a time, so that it’s always fresh and.;moist. And look. at .the saving ..to' the .smoker! Myself I smoke toasted New Zealand. It makes beautiful;' 'cigdrettejijV-WT&e four toasted brands are: Riyei:head Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshcad). You can’it over-indulge because, being toasted, and almost, free from nicotine, these tobaccos' are ‘ as harmless as they are fragrant, and-de-lightful.” •■■■■• ■ -' G 395
