Nothing like a pipe when things go .wrong' —how it soothes, solaces and cheers! —and how it enhances one’s comfort and sense of wellbeing when things are going right! But to get the best out ,of a smoke you must select your ’baccy with discrimination. Avoid brands full of nlJeotirie. Be isure they’];], let you down sooner or 1 alter. Then you won’t want to smoke at nib And —mind this —the imported brands all contain more nicotine than is good for anyone. Why smoke these when you can get pure New Zealand tobacco at any tobacconist’s —.sweet, cool, fragrant and very pure because there’s hardly any nicotine in it. You see, the leaf is toasted. That rids it of most of its nicotine besides developing flavour and arolma. Better' or .mere innocuous tobacco money cannot buy. There are several brands all good, special favourites' being “Riverhead Gold,” a mild delicious aromatic; “Navy Cut No. 3,” a blend of choice 'medium-flavoured tobaccos; “(Cavendish,” (the sportsman’s smoke), another fine medium; and “iCut Plug No. 10,” for those who prefer a full-bodied tobacco. The flavour is unique.— Advt.
