"How's trade?" a customer asked a Hamilton tobacconist the other day. "Oh, not too bad" was the cheerful reply. "If there's less demand for cigars, pipe and cigarette tobacco is selling well. Paclcet cigarettes are hanging fire a bit though. Smokers say it saves money to roll their own, and lots of them pride themselves on their dexterity in that line. The ttick is soon learned and once it is learned those who acquire it have no use for the ready made article. As for pipe tobacco it's always wanted, of course, and always will be. Oh, yes, the imported brands continue to sell alright, most of them anyhow. But I find the New Zealand toasted tobacco is favoured by a great many smokers. Its comparative freedom from nicotine is a great point in its favour. The toasting improves both fiavour and bouquet besides making it absolutely harmless. Yes — four brands: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog) , Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10- (Bulishead). No matter what happens people must and will smoke."
