“Funny how tastes change in pipe tobaccos,’’ said an Auckland tobacconist to a pressman the other day. “Formerly the demand was all for the imported, but now it’s the New Zealand tobaccos grown and manufactured by the National Tobacco Company (the pioneers, I believe, of the N.Z. tobacco industry) that are all the rage. They certainly are the goods. I fancy its the toasting’of the leaf that accounts mostly for their flavour and aroma. I believe it’s the only toasted ' tobacco on the market. Several doctors amongst my customers will smoke nothing else.. They say there’s so little nicotine in these brands they are far the safest to smoke. ’Well, it must be admitted the foreign brands often contain a dangerous amount of nicotine. Oh, yes there are several brands of National. Perhaps I sell more Isa.vy Cut No. 3 than anything else, but Cut ring No., 10 (full flavour) runs it pretty close. Then there’s Rivorhead Gold (a mild aromatic), and Cavendish (medium). They’re all good because they are toasted.’’—Advt.
