“When I heard they were growing and manufacturing tobacco in New Zealand,” writes Mr Jas. Scattergood, a retired wholesale tobacco dealer, in a London trade journal, “I was not keenly interested, concluding that probably the stuff wasn’t worth smoking. But -last year, when I visited New Zealand to see my married daughter, I found to my surprise that the New Zealand toasted tobacco had actually become a serious rival to the imported article!— and that it is not only of superfine quality but that, thanks to the small amount of nicotine in it, it may be smoked ad. lib. without a particle of harm resulting to the smoker. After 50 years in the trade I can say unhesitatingly that I know of no other tobacco like this.” Well, Mr Scattergood, there IS no other tobacco like it. It is unique. The six genuine toasted brands, Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), also Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold tailormades, are as well known as Mount Cook. All toasted, and no sore throat, no cough!
