Why does some tobacco bite the tongueP Experts no« tell us that moisture is tlis offender. Common sense, too! The moisture turns to steam during the combustion of the tobacco, and this hot steam naturally bites the tongue. Hence the drier the tobacco the cooler the smoke and the better the value, because that surplus water adds to weight. Gold Pouch, the New Zealand-grown tobacco, never bites the tongue—it is pure, genuine tobacco without excess moisture. Unequalled in combustibility, it burns freely to the last shred without that soppiness so common to most foreign tobaccos which foul the pipe and coat the tongue, leaving a nasty bitter after-taste. New Zealand soil and climate alone can produce a tobacco so mild and with such a small percentage of nicotine, containing but 1J per cent., as against i per cent, and 5 per cent, in foreign tobaccos. Gold Pouch is the mildest and least injurious of all smokes, not affecting the heart, no matter how much rnu smoke nf it. No Increase in pric^ l —atill obtainable at a shilling per pouch.—Advt.
