While at Ottawa, Mr Baldwin one day entertained at luncheon a small party of visiting pressmen ami others. When an adjournment was made to the smokc-roorn of the great hotel, one of the guests (a New Zealander) produced a well-filled pouch and expressed the hope that their distinguished host would sample his tobacco “grown and manufactured in New Zealand.” “Delighted!” said Air Baldwin, “but first of all I must send for my little cherrywood.’’ So saying, he despatched a waiter for the pipe, who soon returned bearing the giant cherrywood (24 feet long with a howl holding half-a-pound) presented to its owner shortly before he quitted England. The arrival of the “little cherry wood ” was greeted with roars of laughter. 'Hie New Zealand tobacco recommended to Air Baldwin’s notice was duly sampled, surprise being expressed that tobacco of such splendid quality should be produced in New’ Zealand. It was Cut Plug No. 10, one of the four famous toasted (and practically nicotinclcss) brands so popular in ATaoriland, the others being Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, and Riverhead Gold.
