An ancient mariner seated on a bench in the sun on Auckland waterfront, smoking his pipe, was yarning to his mates about some of his seafaring experiences. “Ah!” he said, pressing down the tobacco with a horny forefinger, “it’s me that ’as ’ad some rough spins afloat, and no error! Why, once the old windjammer I waS bosun of ran clean out of ‘bacca,’ and we only 40 days out from Tilbury Docks to Noo Zealand! What did we smoke? Why, we smoked dried tea-leaves. ’Twas that or nothing. First shore leave we got we bolted for the nearest general store and bought some black plug—awful stuff! You blokes are better off. Prime ‘toasted’ to be ’ad at any terbacconist’s. It’s the best I ever smoked, bar none. I like Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead). but there’s milder toasted brands, I believe.” There are—four—Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold, Cavendish, and Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). They’re not only “prime,” but being toasted, are as harmless as fresh air. No nicotine to speak of in any of them.
