Chronicle (Levin), 5 July 1946, Page 8

A little fancy bowl of snuff exliibited in the window of a city tobacconist the other day in Auckland attracted some attention. Snuffing has so long been out of date it is hard to realise that in days gone by it was as popular as smoking is now. Will smoking ever go out' of date? Well, there seems small likelihood of that, for every year shows an increased consumption all the world over of "the soothing weed." Formerly all the tobacco consumed in New Zealand had to be imported. But the coming of "toasted" has altered all that, and at the present time the heavy d.emand for the five renowned toasted blends, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog) , Riverhead and Desert Gold, is a tribute to the success achieved by the manufacturers in producing tobacco not only of the choicest quality, flavour and bouquet, ,but .coqipardtively harm-: less owing to the eliminati.on of niost of its nicotine by the uniqu.e toasting process employed.
