Amongst the treasured possessions of a South Island doctor is a collection of tobacco pipes. Nearly every pipe has a history. A fine meerschaum is said to have belonged to Sir George Grey ; a long clay is said to have been smoked by Tennyson. The collection would fetch money, but the owner won’t sell. He says, by the way (and quite truly), that the tobacco counts for more than the pipe and never fails to caution patients against brands containing much nicotine. His preference is for New Zealand tobacco (grown and manufactured by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd., pioneers of the N.Z. tobacco industry), which he considers the purest of all and freest from nicotine, while the foreign brands are full of the poison. It is the toasting of the leaf that gives this tobacco its splendid quality and renders it comparatively innocuous, because it helps to eliminate the nicotine. You can smoke any of the following well-known brands with immunity : “Riverhead Gold” (mild), “Cavendish” and “Navy Cut” (medium), and “Cut Plug No. 10” (full strength).’ 11
