"Ha! Ha! Ha!” laughed the big. fat, jolly man when offered a “gasper” at an Auckland smoke-concert, “a cigarette is about as much use to me, my boy, as a leg of mutton would be to a vegetarian. Give me my old briar, and I’m happy.” There are plenty of smokers like that. A cigarette is alright now and then, but the seasoned smoker perfers his pipe every time. Ten to one he prefers toasted tobacco, too, because of its captivating flavour and delicious fragrance. He values it for another reason, also. It is practicaly free from nicotine. The toasting rids it of the poison, while most of the imported tobaccos are full of it. You can smoke toasted till all's blue, and take no harm. There are only four brands: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut NOi 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10. These fine tobacocs vary in strength but are of uniform quality—the very best. Of course there are imitations on the market. That is the penalty every good thujg has to pay.
