Most brands of tobacco possess some distinguishing peculiarity. The peculiarity of our New Zealand brands is; that once you acquire a taste for them and it doesn’t take long! they “spoil” you for all other kinds. Tho peculiarity of the imported [.tobaccos is that tehy are all more or less loaded v.-it hnicotine, so that their constant use is certain, sooner or later, to affect heart or nerves, or develop “sinok ers’s throat”. Thanks to the trifling percentage of nicotine in the Nea Zealand they are absolutely safe and may bo indulged in without fear of consequences. These fine tobaccos owe. their wonderful purity largely to the fact that the leaf is toasted, a process which not only helps to eliminate the nicotine but develops flavour and aromo to a marked degree. There arc a number of brands, those mostly ask-, ed for being “Riverhead Gold” (mild and aromatic) : ‘'Cavendish” (a de-; lightful smoke, medium strength), “Navy Cut” No. 3 (a blend of choicei leaf) and “Out Plug No. 10” (a rich; dark, full-flavoured tobacco.)
