Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective of fiction, smoked strong black shag tobacco and derived inspiration from it when puzzling over some problem of more than ordinary complexity. Shag is too-full flavoured for many smokers. It contains a lot of Nicotine, and excess of nicotine is a bad thing. The habital use of such tobacco is bound sooner or later to affect the consumer injuriously. Unfortunately practically all imported tobaccos are heavily charged with nicotine. And In that respect they differ essentially from our New Zealand grown tobaccos, the comparatively small amount of nicotine which constitutes one of their chief recommendations. Also—and this is important—they are ail toasted, and toasting brings out the flavour of the loaf in a most remarkable way. There are several brands of this popular tobacco. Kivorhead Gold mild. Navy Cut (Bulldog label) medium and Cut Plug No 10 (Bull’s Head) full strength. Each of them has its merits. That seasoned smoker, Sherlock Holmes, would doubtedly prefer the last named. Tho’ in most things my way I see, These problems always puzzle me: Should chops and steaks be underdone? Do lovers as they spooning stray Mean all the silly things they say? Do people coughs or colds endure Who know of Wood’s Great Peppermint Cure?.
