Like the fusel on in bad whisky, the nicotine in tobacco is most injurious to health. As to that, it is astonishing (but true) that the leaf produced in certain localities in the Auckland and Nelson districts contains less nicotine than any other grown. This is of paramount importance to the development of the New Zealand tobacco industry, because it is just these mild types of leaf that are eagerly sought after by manufacturers abroad, and fabulous prices are often paid for them. New Zealand is already becoming famous for her tobacco, for unlike most of the foreign tobaccos the N.Z. article does not bite the tongue, smokes smooth and mellow, and leaves the mouth sweet and clean. It owes its superlative quality largely to the fact that it is toasted. This eliminates the nicotine and renders the tobacco harmless. It also gives it its wonderful flavour and fragrance. Favourite brands : Cut Plug No. 10 (rich and full-flavoured) ; Riverhead Gold (aromatic) ; Cavendish and Navy Cut (medium). These goods are exclusively manufactured by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd.
