“Happen to want a perfectly good Thames identity to a friend the other day. “Fm giving up smoking.” “I say! How’s that?” “Doctor’s orders, my boy. Says the nicotine’s poisoning my throat. Tough luck after smoking a pipe every day for 40 years. What?” The friend nodded. “Look here,” he said, “ever tried the New Zealand tobacco?” “Can’t say I have. But of course I’ve heard a lot about it. Who hasn’t?” “Well, you give it a go. The beauty of this tobacco is that it’s toasted, and as the toasting neutralises the nicotine you can smoke it until all’s blue. It simply can’t hurt you. My Doctor knows all about that if yours doesn’t. He’ll tell you! And mind you, you can’t beat toasted New Zealand for flavour and bouquet. It’s unique! There are only five brands: Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold, Navy Gut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10.” The old smoker took the tip! , He got some “toasted,” and —well, his pipe and pouch are once more in requisition daily!
