P. G. Wodehouse, whose books have made us all laugh, has found, he says, “there’s nothing like a quiet smoke to soothe the savage breast,” or words to that effect. Well, the tranquilising influence of good tobacco cannot be over-estimated. It’s a comforting as the recovery of a bad debt. But just as good tobacco soothes and calms, the regular use of some brands may have precisely the opposite effect. Tobacco too rich in nicotine, for exi ample, may if persistently smoked, render the smoker irritable and disagreeable; his nerves become affected, and may, in popular parlance “go all to pieces,” or he may suffer in other ways. Unfortunately such brands are almost as common as wet days in New j Zealand. Beyond the shadow of a doubt the purest tobaccos on the market are the well-known toasted varie- j ties, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. The manufacturers ’own toasting process eliminates the poisonous nicotine and renders them as safe for the smoker as they are remarkable for flavour and bouquet. But ’ware imitations. M 635
