An old salt was yarning to a group of interested listeners down on the water.front at Auckland the other afternoon about *'lang syne.’ Said he as he filled hi s pipe, “There was no smart terbaeconists shops in them days in our ‘Queen City.’ If you wanted baccy you had to go to one of the general stores what sold everything, from a needfg to an anchor. Plug it was. Black, powerful -strong, too. We coves used to smoke it ’cause wo couldn’t get nothing better. Nowadays you can buy prime ‘cut-nip’ /fit (any terbaeconists. My fancy is for New Zealand—-Cut Plug No. 10. Full flavoured. J never sampled a terbncca fit to compar e with it. They fell me it’g toasted, and: that's what gets the nicotine out of it. It's that pure you can smoko a bale of it and take no harm.” This ancient mariner’ s fancy for Cut Plug No. 10 is shared by thousands of old smokers. But there are three other brands equally popular—Navy Cut No 3, Cavendish, and JRiverhead Gold, all toasted.—Advt.
