Few people are probably aware that tobacco was at one time . extensively entlivated in England. AVinehcombe, in Gloucestershire, claims the honour jol being the first place in the Old Country to grow the weed. The dried j and cured leaf was comparatively expensive at first, but by the time of James 11, the “best, Virginia” was sold at 2s per lb. and was in great demand. It would be interesting to compare, if that were possible, the tobacco of that day with that of pur own day. Modern methods of manufacture have of course worked wonders. Some of the purest tobaccos now on the market are grown in New Zealand, and they owe their fine flavour largely to the fact that they are all toasted—a new departure. Owing to their containing such a trifling amount of nicotine these brands may be smoked all day without unpleasant or injurious consequences. “Riverhead Gold” is a fine aromatic tobacco “Toasted Navy Cut” (Bulldog label) medium and “Cut Plug No 10” (Bull’s Head) full-flavoured. They are meeting with a big sale.—Advt. 1
