Bright and early the other morning an old Maori woman, wearing a man’s battered felt hat and a brightly coloured shawl, was seated on the steps of a warehouse in Custpms Street, Auckland, calmly smoking a blackened clap pipe. Two smartly dressed laughing girls passed. Said one: “How happy that old thing looks!” “She’s enjoying her afterbreakfast pipe,” said the other. They seemed much amused. “I wonder,” said the first, “what kind of tobacco she smokes—must-be something special, I should say.” “Let’s go back and ask her,” said her friend, “just for fun.” So back they went and asked her. The old dame, smiled, and said “Cut Plug No. 10,” adding that she always smoked it. It is one of the five famous toasted tobaccos: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, and their rare flavour and delightful frag ranee appeal to pakeha and Maori alike. And they have another outstanding merit—they are harmless ! It’s the toasting that eliminates the poisonous nicotine. All toasted, and no sore throat, no cough.
