“I’m thinking of quitting smoking,” remarked a customer to a Timaru tobacconist, “I can’t smoke a pipe, and cigarettes come expensive these times. “Go on!” said the tobacconist, increduously, “but why don’t you make your own cigarettes? it’s all the go! You’d save money and get better smokes than any of the packet goods can give you. Packet cigarettes soon lose their flavour if long in stock as most of ’em are.” “By jove,” said the customer, “I never thought of that! What tobacco d'you recommend? “Oh, toasted New Zealand,” replied the tobacconist, “it’s not only the best pipe tobacco but makes the best cigarettes. Dare say you know there are five brands—Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), and Desert Gold. They range from extra mild to full strength, and there’s hardly any nicotine in any of them. The toasting does it!” That customer still smokes cigarettes. He rolls his own—Navy Out No. 3 (Bulldog), finds them better than any ready-mades he can buy—and saves'money every time
