Edgar Wallace (bit of a back number, now) began as a tobacco hater and lived to be a tobacco lover! Twitted by non-smokers with his change of front he would say, with a laugh, “as a man grows older he grows wiser—sometimes.” Wallace wrote at night —often all night—and when absorbed in spinning his yarns his pipe was seldom out of his mouth. His tobacco (own blend) was quite famous for flavour and purity, in which respects it closely resembled our beautiful New Zealand toasted brands, which enjoy the unique distinction of being almost free from nicotine. Old smokers say they "spoil” you for any other. They certainly possess a wonderful flavour and fascinating fragrance. Moreover they are harmless. The toasting is responsible; it eliminates the nicotine —the source of all the ills known to smokers. There are only five toasted brands; Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish. Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. The two latter make the finest cigarettes going.
