For the weary brain-worker there are worse ways. of spending a welcome "night off" than by the fileside, with pipe and book for company. But the tobacco for such occasions should be a brand that can be smoked with enjoyment for three or four hours: at a stretch without burning the tongue or other unpleasant consequences. where is such tobacco to be found ? Why, right here in New Zealand. [And it owes its excellence to two things, principally. Firstly, it contains only a minimum amount of nicotine, and, secondly, it is toasted in the process of manufacture. That’s why the flavour is so good. In these two important. respects it differs altogether from the imported brands, which often contain as much as five or six per cent, of nicotine, and are not toasted. For purity, delicacy, flavour, aroma, and wholesomeness, New Zealand tobaccos are unrivalled. If you like a -mild aromatic smoke try Riverhead Gold; if you prefer a medium strength there in Navy Cut (Bulldog), and if you are accustomed to a full-flavoured brand ask for Cut Plug No. 10 (Bull’s head).
