“ When we got to Hamilton,” writes “ New Chum ” in a Manchester Weekly, describing a motor trip from Auckland to Rotorua, “ I asked my host to stop at a tobacconist’s, so that I could replenish my pouch. The tobacconist recommended the New Zealand tobacco so highly that (somewhat doubtfully I confess) I invested in a small tin of Cut Plug No. 10—and found it so good that I told my friend I was sorry I hadn’t got more of it while I was about it. He laughed. ‘ Oh, that’s all right,’ he said, ‘ you can buy New Zealand tobacco anywhere and everywhere. It has a Dominion-wide sale.’ And so I discovered. Every New Zealander seems to know ‘ toasted ’ and most of them smoke it.” There are only five blends of these popular tobaccos— Cut Plug No. 10 Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. Not only are they renowned for their fascinating bouquet and beautiful flavour but toasting (by the manufacturers’ own process) largely frees them from nicotine. That’s why they’re so comparatively harmless.
