An ex-New Zealander, now in London, relates how strolling along Wardour Street, Soho, he noticed a wooden pipe of Maori workmanship in the window of an old curiosity shop. Although quite old it had never been smoked. It was elaborately carved—a Chief’s head with staring pawa shell eyes. The buyer re-sold it for £lO. As a curio it was worth the money, but so far as smoking goes any pipe will do. All pipes become foul sooner or later. When foreign tobacco is used it is sooner, because it’s so full of nicotine. Our New Zealand tobacco is not like that. It’s toasted, and the toasting largely eliminates the poison. That's why you can smoke toasted so confidently. Can't do you any harm. Four brands only of these famous tobaccos—Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10. There are absolutely no other toasted brands on the market, and all four are noted for their exquisite aroma and delicious flavour. They represent the world’s purest tobaccos.
