’ All imported tobaccos are more or less heavily charger! with moisture. According to statistics, New Zealand is paying annually more than £150,000 tor that excess moisture, which mainly consists of water. If foreign manufacturers were to send out their tobacco un- ' adulterated and leave it to the indiividual smoker to add moisture accord-, ‘ ing to his liking, that huge sum could j ,be saved every year. Take, for instance, our N.Z. product, Gold Pouch , and Three Diamonds. This tobacco as a result of the toasting process, is so pure that 2 ounces of it will readily • absorb 1 ounce of water. The purchaser who adds water at that rate is thus actually getting 3 ounces for 1/- with no more moisture than is contained in most imported tobaccos. The experiment is worth trying, the more so as the Tobacco thus treated will last much i longer in the pipe. IB
