The tobacconist recommended the New Zealand tobaccc so highly that (somewhat doubtfully I confess) I invested in a small tin ol Cut Plug No. 10—and found it so good that I told my friend I was sorry 1 hadn't got more of it while I was about it. He laughed. “Oh, thatls- alright, he said, “you can buy New Zealano tobacco anywhere and everywhere. Il has a Dominion-wide sale.” And so 1 discovered.

Not only are they renowned for their fascinating bouquet and beautiful flavour bu toasting (by the manufacturers’ owi process) largely frees them from nico tine. That’s why they’re so compara tively harmless
