You may 'buy a box of matches for a copper, but sometimes you’d give more than that for it—if you could get it. The other day an Auckland hiker tramped, all on his lonesome, to the wilds of the Waitakeres. Presently he sat down on a fallen bluegum, and hungry for a smoke, only to discover he had no matches! “And so the poor dog had none!” By the way, the best ’baccy when hiking is “toasted,” because, you see, you can smoke pipe after pipe of it without feeling “fed up,” as you do with so many brands if you smoke them at all freely. You may get a sore tongue, or find your throat bothering you, or get “nervy.” But toasted never makes your tongue sore, never irritates your throat, never gets your nerves on edge. There are only five brands of the real toasted: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold; also toasted tailormades.
