Consternation reigned amongst the smokers on the platform at Wellington tbo other clay when the Hutt train drew up, minus a smoking carriage. However, there were two cars labelled “A” and “B” respectively, and some, body, pipe in mouth, exclaimed, “B” is for baccy!” jumped into the “B,” all the other smokers following suit. Presently someone asked. “If ‘B’ is for baccy, what is ‘A’ for?’’ “For abstainers, of course!” came the reply. Everyone laughed. Precious few abstainers from the weed nowadays! Well, there’s no harm in tobacco, so long as it’s pure and pretty free from nicotine. Worst of it is the imported goods are as full of nicotine as they can stick! Funny—our N.Z. brands are almost entirely free from the poison. That’s why yon can smoko them (even to excess) with safety! The explanation is they are all toasted, and toasting gets rid of the nicotine. It also wonderfully improves flavour and bouquet. Popular brands: Navy Cut, Cavendish, Out Plug No. 10, and Riverhead Gold. They’re all good, and the only toasted tobaccos manufactured.
