•‘Tobacco has been one of the greatest blessings of my life,” declared Geo. R. Sims, the well-known journalist and dramatist, on one occasion, and ho went on to say that although cigarette and cigar had their attraction for him he found that “after all there’s nothing like a briar.” Judging by the popularity of the pipe countless smokers agree with him. Here in New Zealand, despite the rivalry of the cigarette, the pipe still holds its own. As for the weed the demand for “toasted” points conclusively to the almost universal preference for these beautiful tobaccos, the most delicious, the most soothing and the least harmful of any. Why “the least ’armful?” Simply because they are practically free from nicotine, removed by toasting. Thus their purifv is assured. There are only five brands of the original “toasted.” Three —Cavendish. Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog) and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshcad) — are unequalled for the pine, while the other two, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, make the choicest of all cigarettes, as those who roll their own long since discovered.*
