Little cigars for ladies! From London it is reported that tiny havanas, about the size of a cigarette, are. being introduced in the hope that they will tempt lady smokers. Well, well —and there was a ’.time when ladies simply abominated smoking in every shape or form! That, however, is another story, as Kipling would say. But Cigars, little or large, will never supplant cigarettes with lady devotees of the /weed—especially in NewZealand, -where cigarettes of Riverhead Gold (the finest cigarette tobacco as yet manufactured) are so tremendously popular with smokers of both sexes. “Riverhead,” as everyone knows, is one of the famous toasted brands and there is another toasted cigarette tobacco of surpassing merit —‘Desert Gold; also three pipe blends, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, and Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). Largely free of nicotine, owing to toasting, all five brands are of the choicest quality and so comparatively harmless that they may be indulged in with perfect safety, even to excess. But have a care when buying. The tobaccos named are the only genuine “toasted.”
