It’s funny, but it doesn’t matter a button how many pipes a chap has — he can always do with another! And it often happens that the expensive pipe doesn’t smoke as sweetly as a common briar that costs, perhaps, the humble “hob.” But after all it’s the tobacco that counts for more than the pipe. Some brands if smoked habitually play Billy 0 with the nerves or heart. They're overloaded with nicotine—that’s .what’s the matter. Most of the imported ’baccies are like that, if you want really pun l “weed” go for the National Tobacco Company’s I goods every time. They are toasted, jam! this helps materially to eliminate the nicotine. It also develops flavour and bouquet. You can smoke these brands till all’s blue—and no harm done. The Company are the pioneers of the N.Z. Tobacco Industry. Popular linos; “Riverhcad Gold” (a delicious arom at i c), “Cavendish” and “Na vy Cut No. 3” (two delightful mediums), and- “Cut Plug No. 10” (a fine full flavoured kind). It is the toasting that makes them so unique. E.M.29
