For the weary brain worker there are worse ways of spending a welcome “night off” than by the fireside with pipe and hook for company. But the tobacco for such an occasion should be a brand that can 1)0 smoked with enjoyment for three or four hours at a stretch without burning the tongue or other unpleasant conseqnenees. 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 tnosted in the process of manufacture. That’s why the flavour is so good. In these two important respects it differs altoucilier l'roni the imported brands which often contain as much ns 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 Riverhend Gold; if you prefer a medium strength, there is Navy Cut (Bulldog) and if you are accustomed to a full-flavoured brand, ask for Cut Plug No. 10, Bull’s Head. The latest addition, however, is Caversham Mixture. 19
