According to New Zealand To-bacco-Merchants, stocks of imported weed are running very low throughput the Dominion and a further rise in the price can only be a question of time. Fortunately this country is no longer entirely dependent on imported tobaccos. The N.Z. grown article is becoming- increasingly popular and one of the reasons is doubtlessly its small percentage of nicotine —only li per cent, as against 4 per cent in imported brands. Quite recently the manufacturers are adopting a new. process in the production of their well-known brands "Gold Pouch" and "Three Diamonds.". This tobacco is now toasted, and just exactly as cooking and roasting makes ymu , food more palatable and digestible, so the flavour of tobacco is improved by toasting, it is made healthier too. Smokers should not fail to try this new toasted tobacco. Two full ounces for a shilling.
