“ I had rather a trying experience once upon a time,” writes Mr Robert Seeley in a London weekly. “ I was a young new chum, then, one of a party of prospectors in Northern Queensland. One day I wandered away from camp and got ‘ bushed.’ It was nearly three weeks before they found me, and I had some adventures in the meantime, believe me! On the third day I ran out of tobacco! — Smokers will sympathise! I shall never forget the first smoke I had after I was found!—delightful! But nowadays I find the tobacco I used to smoke when on the wallabi has lost its savour. Over much nicotine in it. Since coming to Maoriland I have smoked * New Zealand Toasted/ and ask nothing better. “I understand its peculiar fragrance and comparative freedom from nicotine in this incomparable tobacco are due to its being roasted. It is certainly the finest I have ever smoked —and the least harmful.” Mr Seeley refers to the five famous toasted brands Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10.
