A Henry Lawson MS.

“Priestly, who wrote ‘The Good Companions,’ can enthuse about his latika, and J. M. Barrie rave about his wonderful ‘mixture,’” said an old smoker at a little social gathering (men only) at Auckland the other night, “but give me Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog)! Yes, it's New Zealand, and Toasted New Zealand at that! Been smoking it for a dozen years, and never smoke anything else. It's unique! The flavour fascinates, the aroma captivates! It's as soothing as the recovery of a bad debt! Joking apart, when you start a pipe of Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog) (a blend of extra choice leaf and of medium strength), you don't want to put your pipe down! There's pleasure in every whiff!” This enthusiast didn't mention the other toasted brands: Riverhead Gold, Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bulls-head) but they are equally good. They are all toasted, and all comparatively free of nicotine. That makes them safe to smoke, even if you smoke them to excess. You can't buy any other toasted tobaccos, because no others are manufactured.*
