Asked which pipe of the day he considered the best, a well-known old Auckland Identity said he voted for the one before breakfast. “They tell me,” he added, “smoking before breakfast is a bad habit, if so” (with a laugh) “it’s like some other bad habits, decidedly agreeable. And as I’ve cultivated it for a score of years, and I’m not dead yet I shall continue it. Perhaps I don't find it hurts me because I smoke Cut Plug No. 10, one of the toasted brands you hear so much about. Anyhow it’s jolly good and I get more enjoyment out of it than any other tobacco gives me. I believe there are other toasted brands, but Cut Plug No. 10 is good enough for me. I like something full flavoured.” Yes, there are five of the genuine toasted blends: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold—all manufactured from the chofeest leaf and comparatively harmless because toasting gets most of the nicotine out of them
