Do you save up your dottles ? A writer in a London weekly (a medical man) condemns this practice as “Very unwise” and says the scrapings of a pipe bowl, “the dregs of a fill,” as he puts it, are quite unfit to be smoked over again, adding “the smoker’s slogan should be" ‘safety first’ It should, but very often it isn’t. Dottie smoking is doubtless “very unwise” but is the smoking of tobacco containing a large percentage of nicotine any wiser ? Yet such brands are as common as house flies in summer, and may wreck the nerves of a smoker or attack his heart or throat. The really safe way is to smoke “toasted” ; toasted rids this beautiful tobacco of most of its nicotine and leaves it pure, sweet and wholesome. It has a fascinatng flavour and is the most fragrant and comforting of all tobaccos. The only genuine toasted brands are Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. But there are several worthless imitations about. Beware ! M. 652.
