Why does some tobacco bite the tongue? Experts now tell us that mois-. ture is the offender. . Common-sense, too ! The moiature turns to steam during the combustion of the.-tobacco, and this hot ateam naturally bites the tongue. Hence the dryer the tobacco the cooler Lthe smoke-and the better the value, because that surplus water adds to weight. Gold Pouch, the New Zealand grown tobacco, never bites the tongue—it is pure genuine tobacco without excess moisture. Unequalled in combustibility, it burns freely to the last shread without that soppiness so common to most foreign tobaccos which foul the pipe and coat the tongue leaving a nasty bitter aftertaste. New Zealand soil and, climate alone can produce a tobacco so. mild and with such a small percentage of. nicotine, > containing but 1£ per cent ~ as against 4 per cent and 5 per cent, in foreign tobaccos. Gold Pouch is the mildest and least injurious of all smokes not affecting the heart, no matter how much you smoke of. it. .No increase in Rebuilt typewriters look and work exactly like new.
