J. M. Barrie, the famous author, made the fortune of a London tobacconist, once upon a time. Happened this way: Barrie (as you may remember) eulogised a certain tobacco which he called “ Sporting Mixture.” That was not its real name, but directly the public identified this mixture as Barrie’s “ Sporting Mixture ” there was such a run on it that the lucky tobacconist who sold it made his fortune. “ Sporting Mixture ” was a ripe, mellow and very fragrant tobacco of exquisite flavour, closely resembling the “ Cavendish ” manufactured from New Zealand grown leaf by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd. (the pioneers of the tobacco industry in New Zealand). And this brand, like all the Company’s tobaccos, is practically free from nicotine, while the foreign tobaccos all contain too much nicotine to be safe smoking. But then the National goods are all toasted—hence their freedom from nicotine. There are no other toasted tobaccos. Popular brands: Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold (mild), Navy Cut and Cavendish (medium), and Cut Plug No. 10 (full strength).
