It was on the Auckland-Whangarai train. A man looking like a “commercial” was puffing a very foul briar. Pacing him another passenger was smoking a cigarette and reading a newspaper. Happening to look up he noticed the blackened briar, and said: “Pardon me. I am a doctor and must tell you that pipe of yours is unfit to smoke. It’s saturated with nicotine. If you’re wise you’ll scrap it.” “It’s a bit strong,” admitted its owner, with a grin, “but I reckon that's the fault of my tobacco.” “Quite likely,” smiled the doctor. “But why smoke such stuff? Why not do as I do and smoke our New Zealand tobacco? You see it’s toasted and all but free from nicotine, therefore quite harmless. And it's good!” The pipe-smoker thanked the doctor, and said he'd act on his advice. He'll be wise if he does. Our New Zealand brands: Biverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) —are famous for purity, flavour, and aroma. But look out for imitations. There are several about!
