A retired Wellington business man not long since returned to the windy city after a world’s tour, was referring in the smokeroom of his hotel recently to some of his experiences. He said that during his travels he had made it his business as an old smoker to sample as many brands of tobacco as he could. “And I suppose I shall be within the mark,” he added, “when J say that I have tried out fifty or sixty different kinds while en route. Not one of them was equal, in. my opinion, to the New Zealand toasted tobacco. For flavour and fragrance, and above all, for its comparative freedom from nicotinedue, as they tell me, to it being toasted—this tobacco stands alone. It is unique. Many a pipeful did I give away during my trip, and everybody liked it.” The toasting process referred to by this gentleman—an elaborate one enough—renders the tobacco so treated perfectly harmless. As most smokers know, there are five brands: Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead). R-P-29
