"The slump has made little difference in the demand for cigarettes,” said a Wellington tobacconist while chatting with one of his "regulars” the other day, "only most folk prefer now to roll their -own. They say it comes cheaper, and of course it does—quite a lot. Women often smoke more cigarettes than is good for them, although, of course, it’s not to my interest to say so. I had a lady customer who smokes three packets a day. Young fellows—to say nothing about boys—are also heavy cigarette smokers, but men up in years generally smoke pipes, and usually prefer toasted tobacco, especially Cut Plug Nc. 1G (Bullshead) because it’s full-flavoured and such as old smokers live. Oh yes, there are other brands of toasted—a mild aromatic (Riverhead Gold) and two mixtures, both medium, (Cavendish, and Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). Excellent, all of them, and so comparatively free from nicotine (thanks to being toasted) that you can’t over-in-dulge, or if you do, you’ll take no harm. Toasting is a wonderful purifier.
