Some smokers once they sample a brand that pleases them never change it. Seem to think it can’t be bettered. There are others -wljo recognise that the world is continually advancing, and that new brands of tobacco are introduced from time to time which are. a distinct improvement on the old ones. Take our New Zealand-grown tobacco, for example. These brands, now attracting the attention of smokers everywhere, possess some characteristics which distinguish them from the imported goods in a very marked degree. Firstly, the leaf is toasted, and this brings out. the flavour and fragrance very perceptibly—just as the flavour and aroma of coffee is improved by roasting the berries. Secondly, unlike the imported brands, they contain so little nicotine that they do not injuriously affect the heart, nerves, or eyesight. They give a sweet, cool, and satisfying smoke, too. Popular brands are : Riverhead. Gold, mild ; Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium ; and Cut Plug No. IO (Bullshead) full. Already the growing and manufacture of these tobaccos constitue a flourishing industry and one destined to prove c-f national importance.* i
