“Funny how tastes change in pipe tobaccos,” remarked an Auckland tobacconist to a pressman, the other day. “Formerly the demand was all for the imported, but to-day it’s New Zealand tobacco that is all the rage, and for every ounce of imported I sell, I dispose of a pound of New Zealand. It pertainly is ‘the goods.’ 1 fancy it’s the toasting of the leaf that mostly accounts for itrs fine flavour and aroma. Its the only toasted tobacco on the market, so far as I know. Several doctors who are amongst my customers will smoke nothing else. They say there’s so little nicotine in it that its by far the safest to smoke. Well, it must be admitted that these foreign brands often contain a dangerous amount of nicotine. Oh, yes, there are several brands of New Zealand. Perhaps T sell more Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog) than anything else, but Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) full flavour runs it pretty close. Then there’s Itiverhead Gold a mild aromatic, which also has a big sale. But they’re all good.”— Advt.
Wade’s Worm Figs—a sure, sate remedy for worms. Pleasant to take. All chemists. —Advt.
