The tobacco-cadger? We’ve all met him! His “cheek” is colossal! He carries a pipe with a capacious bowl, an old pocket-knife and about a square inch of plug tobacco— shiny witli keeping in his pocket. Smilingly he will point to this fragment and ask for a till. He generally gets it. Smokers are like that. The cadger can smoke anything but prefers “cutup”—New Zealand toasted for choice. He never buys it if he can help it. He “bororws.” What, by the way, is the secret of the widespread popularity of this toasted tobacco? Why, its freedom from nicotine. The toasting practically kills the poison. You can smoke "toasted” from daylight to dark. It can’t affect heart, nerves or throat. It’s harmless. What other tobacco can that be said of? What other tabacco is as sweet, cool and fragrant? There are only four brands of toasted: P.iverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. ii, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10. They vary in strength, but not in quality. They are unique.
