Scotland Yard’s “Black Museum” is a sinister place. Here are preserved many things associated with great crimes and notorious criminals. Amongst them is a battered old briar pipe, once the property of Charles Peace, of infamous memory. He smoked this pipe for the last time the night before his execution. Mighty is the power of the weed! It can bring something of comfort and of solace to even the desperate criminal during his last hours upon earth —or so they will tell you at “the Yard.” Injurious? Not so long as the quality is right, and the nicotine content small. Our New Zealand tobaccos are the purest. Unlike most foreign brands they contain hardly any nicotine, and are therefore quite harmless — a point of the greatest importance to men whose pipes are constantly in their mouths. You can get them of any strength. “Riverhead Gold” is mild; “Cavendish” is medium; “Navy Cut” (also medium) is a delightful blend, and “Cut Plug No. 10” is rich, dark, and full-flavoured. All tobacconists sell these beautiful ' tobaccos.
