“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 manu- ■ factored by the National Tobacco Company (the pioners, I believe, of the N.Z. tobacco industry) that are all the rage. They certainly are the goods. I fancy it’s the toasting of the leef that accounts mostly for their flavour and aroma. T 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 fc reign brands often contain a dangerous amount of nicotine. Oh, yes, there aie several brands of Najftional. Perhaps I sell more Navy Cut ■No. 3 than anything else, but Cut No. 10 (full flavour) runs it pretty close. Then there’s Riverhead (a mild aromatic) and Cavendish (medium). They're all good because they are toasted.*
