“Got any pipe tobacco fit to smoke?” he barked. “A new chuni,” thought the tobacconist: “plenty of side on, too!” Then to the stranger: “What kind of tobacco d'ye want, mister—medium or full?” “Medium! Meedium!” replied the customer impatiently, “but no rubbish, mind! I’m a connoisseur. Here—let’s have an ounce to try out. If it’s right, I’ll come’ again.” He blew in again next day. “That iihported tobacco I had yesterday—don’t know what it was, but I’ll take a pound.” “Certainly,” said the tobacconist, “but that wasn't imported; that was New Zealand tobacco, Navy Cut No. 3." Go on!” said Mr. Newclium incredulously. “Yes, grown and manufactured in the Dominion,” continued the weed merchant: “toasted, too. That means practically harmless. Cuts out nicotine. Oh! five brands: Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead). Riverhead Gold, and Desert Gold.” “Well, if it’s not imported it’s every bit as good,” commented the customer. “Some of my ‘regulars' says it’s better,” replied the tobacconist, “You live and learn, don't you?”
