Giant briar pipes, exhibited in a Bond Street (London) tobacconist’s window recently attracted a good ideal of attention. These pipes take an ounce of tobacco at a time for a smoke lasting from four- to six hours. They are priced at from £4 a piece. But. it is not all tobacco that can be smoked for six or even for four hours continuously. If you tried to smoke some of the American imported brands for such a length of time, you’d get nicotine poisoning. You’d have a better chance with our own New Zealand tobaccos, which owing to their exceptional purity and eompai'ative freedom from nicotine can really be smoked for hours on end without risk to heart or nerves. They are delightfully cool, mellow, sweet and fragrant, with a most delicious flavour of their own. With such qualities to recommend them (and the good word of the doctors), it is not surprising to find these brands in rapidly increasing demand. Try “Riverhead Gold” aromatic, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, or “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead) full strength. All tobacconists.
