A Dunedin man laughingly asked his tobacconist if he had any tobacco that wouldn’t bite the tongue. He seemed to think he was asking an impossibility. But the tobacconist promptly replied that he had several brands guaranteed to fill the bill. “All the toasted New Zealand tobaccos,” he said, “are like that—won’t burn the tongue even if you smoke them for hours at a stretch. Won’t affect heart or nerves, either. That’s because they are toasted. The toasting kills the nicotine to such a large extent that they are rendered perfectly harmless, and quite safe to smoke to any extent. They have a delicious flavour, too, and a bouquet you can’t beat.” “What are the names of the brands?” was the next question. “Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold, Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 and Cut Plug No. 10,” replied the tobacconist. “They are the only toasted kinds manufactured.” The customer invested in a packet of toasted Navy Cut. Now he smokes nothing else!
