The late Tex Rickard, the famous American fight promoter, loved his pipe but studiously avoided tobaccos con* taining much nicotine. How was that? It is this way—men engaged in hard manual labour in tho open air—such as bushmen or navvies—can smoke almost anything with impunity. But the brainworker must select his tobaccco with judgment and steer clear of brands rich in nicotine (as the imported brands are) if he would escape paying the penalty of shattered nerves or weakened heart. Our New Zealand tobaccos are unequalled for purity. Containing a mere trace of nicotine, they may be indulged in freely with absolute safety. And sweet, cool and fragrant, they seem to have an irresistible appeal for smokers. Their fine quality is largely owing to the toasting of the leaf — something new in tobacco manufacture. Favourite brands are:—‘‘Riverhead Gold” (a mild aromatic); ‘‘Cavevndish” (much appreciated by connoisseurs, medium flavour); "Navy Cut” (a delightful blend); and ‘‘Cut Plug No. 10” (a rich, dark, full-flavoured tobacco).*
