A Nelson man while chatting with a local tobacconist began to clean out his pipe. “I wish,” he said, jokingly,* “you could sell me a pipe guaranteed not to get foul in use!” The tobacconist smiled. “Afraid I haven t got any pipes like that,” ho said, “pipes will foul, but some much Quicker than others. Its largely a question of the tobacco and the amount of nicotine it contains. Talking about that I can give you a tobacco so comparatively free from nicotine that your pipe won't foul_ nearly so fast as pipes usually do.” “What: tobacco is it?” came the question. “Why there are five brands.” replied the tobacconist, “Cut Plug No. 3 (Bullshead). Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhcad Gold and Desert Gold. They’re all toasted, and contain so little nicotine you hardly know it’s there. Fine flavour and aroma, 100. And as they are so comparatively free from nicotine they don’t affect throat, heart or nerves. If, by any chance, you haven’t tried them, take my tip and do so.” He did. Those are the only toasted tobaccos. R.P. 33.
