Toasted tobacco is the last word in the manufacture of the fragrant weed. Tts process is based upon science, and just exactly as neople prefer their food cooked, they will now prefer their tobacco roasted. Toast is certainly wholesome!* ihan soggy bread, and tbe same principle applies to tobacco. Take for instance tbe locally-manufactured brands. Tbev are all toasted and consequently more pleasing to tbe palate, besides there is loss nicotine in them, and that is a matter of importance, inasmuch as any excess of nicotine absorbed by the system may seriously affect tbe nerves or cause smoker’s heart, and weakening sight. Smokers should, therefore, not fail to give this new tobacco a trial; i here is a vasf difference between toasted and lion-toast-ed tobacco, and they will find it is all in favour of tbe toasted. Obtainable in three strengths. Biverbead Gold, jverv’ mild and aromatic ; Toasted Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium, and Cut Plug No 1!) is recommended to those who prefer a full body.—Advt.
