Holland Is the smokers paradise.
Not only Is the climate one which nj
most compels indulgence in tobacco,
but the fragrant leaf. may be had IN
abundance and at small cost.
The humidity OF the climate leads
naturally to continual smoking, and so
common is the habit that instead of
measuring distances by miles it is GUS
tomary for the boatmcn to declare a
place to be so many pipes distant.
On entering the house OF friend n
cigar is offered you, the host sees that
you are kept we'll supplied during Your
visit, and fresh cigar upon leaving Is
as necessary as hat. Old friends are
not permitted to depart until their
cases have been rcfillcd, and the ncces.
sity for this becomes apparent when 1t
Is known that smoker usually lights
his fresh cigar from the stump of tho
previous one. keeping one In his mouth
continually.
Pipe smokers are equally devoted to
their habit, taking their pipe to bed
with them and only laying 1t down
when they become sleepy. Should they
awake during the night they indulge In
short smoke before going to sleep
again, and they always light their pipes
before getting out of bed in the morn.
