‘•The first smoke of the day —can vou beat it ? ” writes Frank L. Smedley In the New York “Smokers’ Journal.’’ “I used,” lie continues, “to bar smoking till after breakfast. Now I have a pipe before I get up! How did 1 acquire. this pernicious habit? It was while I was in New Zealand last fall, °nd the New Zealand tobacco must take the blame! This is the best I ever smoked, so good I couldn’t wait _ till after breakfast for a whiff. And since mv return to Uncle Sam’s country I have kept up the practice. The New Zealand tobacco, I should tell you, is tonsteel (quite an process), and the toasting frees it of nicotine, and gives it its appealing flavour and famous bouquet. Only four brands are manufactured, and should you think of visiting New Zealand (one of the loveliest countries in the world) you 11 do well to sample them. I have yet to find the equal of this tobacco.” The four brands referred to by Mr Smedley are: Fiverlicadi Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10.
