| “When the captain of the boat I j made the trip to New Zealand in last I year told me the New Zealand toI bacco was toasted,” writes ”L,one- | hand” in “Everybody's Weekly,” “I j thought he was pulling my leg. ‘ln the name of all that's wonderful,’ X asked, ‘why toasted?’ ‘Wait till you sample it,’ replied the old man, ‘then you’ll understand what toasting tobacco does.’ And so I did. I found ! about nine men out of every dozen ! were smoking this toasted tobacco, j and throughout my sojourn in that i delightful country I smoked nothing ! else myself. It is the toasting of the leaf that imparts to. this tobacco I its beautiful flavour and unrivalled bouquet. There are only five brands, ; but five’s plenty because they com- : prise a very mild aromatic, River- ; head Gold, Desert Gold, two choice blends of medium strength, Cavendish and Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog) ! and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), a ! rich, mellow, full-flavoured sort. The | latter was my favourite, but all four are top-hole, and safe, because they I are toasted, which ingenious process ! (I saw it in operation) successfully I eliminates the nicotine.”
