Five fellow-passengers the other day aboard the Hamilton train (all strangers to each other) got into conversation. and the question arose: If a business man gets an evening off, what’s the best way of spending it? One voted for cards, another for the theatre, the third for billiards, the fourth for dancing. but the fifth man said his notion of a good time v/as a cosy chair by the fire-side (in winter), a first-class detective yarn—and his pipe. “I can smoke for hours,” he said “without a break, and thoroughly enjoy it.” “But,” objected one, “you can’t smoke for hours without tongue or throat suffering.” The other fellow laughed. “I smoke New Zealand tobacco.” he said, “practically no nicotine in it. Doesn’t affect throat or tongue. No ‘bite’ in New Zealand tobacco. It’s toasted. That’s why.” This passenger didn't say which of the famous toasted brands he favoured. But all five (Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold. Navy Cut No. 3. Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10) are “best sellers.” The world does not produce belter tobacco. And it’s quite harmless! HP. 22.
