The curious habit so common in America of popping ail unlighted cigar in the mouth and chewing an inoh or two of it to pulp, is not popular with us, although the chewing of black plug tobacco is common cough amongst sailors everywhere. However, with the rank and file of Englishmen, “the pipe’s the thing,” and a source of enjoyment, daily, to millions. But discrimination should be exercised in the choice of tobacco. Brands full of nicotine (as, the American tobaccos usually are), oii^h t to be cut out, because nicotine is the source of all the mischief when tobacco proves injurious. Our New Zealand grown tobaccos are about the purest going and contain only a trifling percentage of nicotine—a negligible quantity. That is why you can go on smoking them all the time with the utmost safety. They won’t do you any harm. And they are delightfully fragrant. You can‘get them of any strength. Ask for “Biverhead Gold,” mild; “Navy Cut” (Bulldog), medium; or “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullsliead), full strength.
