“ Gimme me pipe, and I’m as ’appy as Larry.” Thus an elderly witness in a court case the other day. "Your pipe and your glass, eh?” jocularly suggested Counsel. “Not me!” replied witness. “ I’m a T.T. I am.” “ Smoking is a pernicious habit,” remarked the Bench. “Shortens life. llow old are yoTi?” “ Seventy-two,” said witness, “ and been a smoker for fifty years.” (Loud laughter). His Worship was silent. Fact is anti-tobac-coites talk a lot of nonsense about the perniciousness of smoking. Smoking is not pernicious—if you smoke the right tobacco. The foreign brands may be pernicious, because they so often contain an excess of nicotine—a virulent poison, absorbed into the system every time a pipe of the affected tobacco is smoked. But the New Zealand toasted brands arc perfectly harmless. Thanks to the toasting! The process also gives them their unique flavour and fragrance. There are only four toasted brands — Rivcrhead Gold, Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 and Cut Plug No. 10. They are of different strengths hut all remarkable for their beautiful quality and exquisite purity. 169
