“Most of the harm from pipes is due to their foulness.” Thus wrote Sir Robert Armstrong Jones, a distinguished authority, recently, in the British Medical Journal. Sir Robert might have added that the main cause of pipes becoming foul is the use of tobacco heavily charged with nicotine. Such tobaccos may (and often do) cause nerve trouble, eyesight trouble, heart trouble, and chronic indigestion. Happily here in New Zealand ailments occasioned by excess of nicotine in tobaccos are becoming rarer. This is owing to the growing popularity of our New Zealand tobaccos which, thanks to their comparative freedom from nicotine, may be indulged in freely without any fear of consequences. That’s why doctors recommend them. Another point in their favour is that the leaf is toasted (something new). Hence their delightful fragrance, and delicious flavour. You can get them of any strength. There are several varieties. Leading lines are: “Riveft-head Gold” mild and aromatic, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog), a choice medium, and “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullsnead), a fine full flavoured sort. Any tobacconist will supply you. (78)
