“Where do you reckon the best tobacco comes from?” queried a Dunedin reporter of a local merchant who is a large importer of the weed. “Well,” was the reply, “most imported brands come from America, of course. South Africa sends a few, too. But I think the New Zealand tobacco is about the pick of the basket to-day. Some of our choicest leaf is worth over £2OO a ton to the grower. Pact! The outstanding merit of New Zealand tobacco is its comparative freedom from nicotine. The manufacturers put it through a special toasting or roasting process, from which it emerges pure, sweet, fragrant and, better still, absolutely innocuous, can that be said of all foreign tobaccos? lam afraid not!” Quite correct, Sir. And it is worthy of special note that there are only four brands of toasted tobacco produced: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10. They vary In strength ,but the quality is the same—the world's best. Beware of imitations! There are several about.
