The late G. K. Chesterton, the wellknown journalist and author, may not have cared much for “cakes and ale”; he preferred tobacco and ale, and was a keen judge of both. He loved a good cigar, but loved his meerschaum no less. His favourite ’baccy, it seems, was a .blend of his own, doubtless very “graceful and comforting” after a jiard day’s work. This same tobacco appears to have resembled in some respects New Zealand’s famous Cut .Plug No. 10, but differed from it in one most important particular—it wasn’t toasti ed! As to tfiat, the world’s, only toasted tobaccos are those grown and manufactured within this Dominion —Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No, 3 (Bulldog), Riverliead Gold and Desert Gold. Now you can’t go on smoking the ordinary tobaccos for any length of time without getting a burned tongue or other ills. But you can puff “toasted” freely as you please; it won’t burn your tongue, irritate your throat, a'fffect heart or nerves. Where can you find its equal for flavour, aroma, comfort and enjoyment? 620
