The curious habit, so common in America, of popping an unlighted cigar in the mouth and chewing an inch or two of it to pulp, is not popular with us, although the chewing of plug tobacco is common enough. However, with most Englishmen “the pipe's the thing," and a source of enjoyment to millions daily. But choose your tobacco wisely. Brands full of nicotine (as the American tobaccos usually are), should be cut out. Nicotine is a dangerous thing. Our New Zealand tobaccos are the purest, containing only a trifling percentage of nicotine. That is because they are all toasted, and toasting neutralises the poisonous nicotine and renders the baccy safe smoking. These fine brands are grown and manufactured by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd. (pioneers of the N.Z. tobacco industry), and are the only toasted tobaccos extant. They won’t harm anyone. And how good they are! You can get them of any strength. Ask for Riverhead Gold (mild'; Navy Cut No. 3 imediumi; Cavendish medium); or Cut Plug No. 10 (full strength). They are on sale everywhere.
