I began to smoke when I was 13,’ said a speaker at a Canterbury “send or” to a departing townsman, “and one day father caught me smoking a cigarette on the st ct Q.T. in the fowlhouse. (Laughter.) Did he storm? Not he! He knew a better way. He smilingly 1 vited me to smoke a cigar with him after dinner. Ficture my pride! (Laughter). The cigar was as black as coal, end fearfully strong. I soon had enough. But I ouldn’t give in—till I had to. Then I bolted, and was very unwell. (Laught*"-' I didn’t smoke again for years. Then I took to a pipe. No more cigars. (Laughter). And now?— well, give me my pipe and a pouch of New Zealand * vendish and I’m as happy as a King! —1 appier a lot than some Kings.” (Laughter and applause) The speaker alluded to one of the four popular New Zealand brands, the others being Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Riverhead Gold, and Navy Cut No 3 (Bulldog). They are toasted (no others are) and therefore harmless. And talk about flavour and aroma!
