Choosing a birthday present for a man is not quite as simple as shelling peas. You may so easily give him something he has no use for. Tons of money is wasted on gifts received with smiles and thanks, but which are not valued. Tastes differ widely, but there is one taste common to 19 men out of 20—the taste for tobacco. Give the average man something to smoke and he will appreciate it—preferably a bit of good “cut-up.” And the finest “cut-up” is New Zealand grown. It is the purest of all because—unlike the imported—it contains hardly any nicotine. Consequently it can be smoked all day long—the only toasted baccy on the market—and the toasting kills the nicotine and gives its incomparable flavour and bouquet. Popular brands include “Cut Plug No. 10,” Navy Cut, Cavendish, and Riverhead Gold. There’s only one thing better for a man’s present than a pound of this tobacco, and that’s two pounds.
