The curious habit so common in America of popping ,an unlighted cigar in the mouth and chewing an inch or two of it to pulp is not popular with us, although the chewing of black plug tobacco is common enough amongst sailors everywhere. However, with the rank and file of Englishmen “the pipe’s the thing’’ and a source of enjoyment, daily, to millions. But discrimination should be exercised in the choice of tobacco. Brands full of nicotine (as the American tobaccos usually are) ought to be cut out, because nicotine is the source of all the mischief when tobacco proves injurious. Our New Zealand grown tobaccos are about the purest going and contain a negligible quantity. That is why you can go on smoking them all the time with the utmost safety. They won’t do you any harm. And they are delightfully fragrant. You can get them of any strength. Ask for “Riverhead Gold,’’ mild; “Navy Cut” (Bulldog). medium; or “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead), full strength.*
