“ I’m looking for something I don’t expect to find,” said a Wellington man to his tobacconist, with a laugh. “ What's that? ” enquired the tobacconist. “ A tobacco I can smoke for hours without my tongue feeling as if it had been grilled. I’m frequently in the train all day. Then I always want to smoke more than I am able to.” “ Ever tried the New Zealand tobacco? ” queried the tobacconist. “ No. Is it worth trying? ” “ Well, I sell more of it than any other kind. It’s good. Most of the nicotine has been taken out of it, you see. ’ “ How do they manage that? ” said the customer.' “ They toast it. It gets rid of the nicotine as nothing else does. Improves the flavour and bouquet, too. You can smoke this tobacco from daylight to dark, without tongue or throat suffering. Brands? They are five: Riverhead Gold, Desert I Gold. Navy Cut No. 3. Cavendish, and [ Cut Plug No. 10.” The customer invested in a tin of Navy Cut No. 3, “to see if he liked.” He will.
