“Man and boy, I’ve been forty years in the trade/’ remarked a Wellington tobacconist to a pressman the other day, “and the biggest thing I’ve seen in all that time in connection with the weed is the discovery that toasting the leaf destroys the nicotine m it and makes it as safe as houses to smoke. It’s wonderful. Brings our flavour and bouquet, too, in the most remarkable way. When toasted tobacco was first introduced people reckoned it was just a passing fad. Today the demand for it is big, and constantly increasing. There are only four brands—Kiverhead Bold, Navy Out, Cavendish and Cut Plug—and they have captured the fancy of the pulolic. Yes, and just make a special note of this: smokers find they can smoke toasted all day long without its affecting their nerves or causing any other trouble. And that's where toasted differs from all other brands, most of which are loaded with nicotine. I ought to know, after handling tobacco for almost a lifetime.’ The pressman “made a, note of it.’’— Advt.
