It is curious how smokers will ‘‘fancy” some of their pipes and fail to take’’ to others. It is not a question of cost, either. J. M. Barrie, an inveterate smoker, has quite a collection of pipes and some of them are valuable. And yet one of his greatest favourites is a. little wooden “nose-warmer” for which he gave fourpence! Tastes in tobacco very hi the same way. Some smokers use only the most expensive brands, while others find ordinary plug o.r even common shag more to their liking. The flavour appeals to them. But talking—or rather writing—about flavour, have you tried the New Zealand grown tobaccos? The leaf, contrary to the usual practice, is toasted, and this imparts a peculiarly delicious flavour. These tobaccos, moreover, contain very little nicotine and are consequently comparatively harmless. They are manufactured in various strengths to suit all tastes. “Riverhead Gold” is mild aromatic, “toasted Navv Out” (Bulldog Label) medium, and “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bull’s Head) full flavoured. They are meeting with a hi" sale. 26
