■ All imported; tobaccos are more or less heavily'charged with moisture. According to statistics, New Zealand is paying annually more than £150,000 for that excess moisture, which mainly consists of water. If foreign manufacturers wore to send out their tobacco unadulterated and leave it to the individual smoker to add moisture according to his liking, that huge sum could be saved every year. Take, for instance, our New Zealand product. Gold Pouch and Three Diamonds . This tobacco, as a result of the toasting process, is so pure that 2oz. of it will readily absorb loz. of water. The purchaser who adds water at that rate is thus actually getting 3oz. for Is, with no more moisture than contained in most imported tobaccos. The experiment is worth trying, the more so as the tobacco thus treated -will last much longer in the pipe. 51
