The best smoke of the day? Which is it?—the before breakfast, after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner, or after supper pipe? Some chaps—but these are hard cases—wake up in the middle of the night for a smoke. Then “douse the glim,” and like the sluggard, “slumber again.” But more important than “when” you smoke is “what” you smoke. The main thing is to steer clear of tobaccos over rich in nicotine. The poison plays deuce and all with the heart, if not with the nerves. Dangerous stuff to monkey with!—yet the imported tobaccos, are all more or less loaded with it! The world’s purest leaf is the New Zealand toasted. The toasting eliminates practically all the nicotine. You can smoke this beautiful tobacco from sun-up to sun-down. It can’t hurt you. There are only four brands —Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No 3, Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10. All renowned for flavour and aroma. But, like most good things, they are imitated—the penalty they pay for their popularity!
