Hints to smokers: "A pipe "burns through or cracks simply owing to carelessness," says a London expert. "A new pipe should not be subjected to intense heat until the interior of the bowl is protected by a layer of carbon, although too great an accumulation of carbon must be avoided. So must the rough scraping of the howl. And the knocking of the pipe aganst hard objects, also 'lighting up* from the flame of a candle, may easily crack the wood." Quite. But how about the tobacco? If full of nicotine (as it so often is) the pipe rapidly fouls and becomes clogged, necessitating continual
scraping l out, so that the bowl soon becomes a mere shell. Impure tobacco is bad for the pipe and worse for the smoker. You can buy a new pipe for a shilling. Health impaired by bad tobacco may cost you more than that. The purest tobacco of all is the toasted New Zealand. Hardly any nicotine in it. The toasting does it! Four brands only. Riverhead Gold Navy Cut No 3 (Bulldog), CaArendish. and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bulkhead).
