Shedock Holmes, the famous detective of fiction, smoked strong black shag tobacco and derived .inspiration i'roin it when puzzling over some problem c,f more than ordinary complexity. Shag is too full-flavoured for many sniokers. It contains a lot of nicotine, and excess of nicotine is a bad thing. The habitual 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 all toasted, and toasting brings out the flavour of the leaf in a most remarkable way. There are several brands of. this popular tobacco. Riverhead Gold mild, Navy cut (Bulldog label) medium and Out Plug No. 10 (Bull’s Head) full strength. Each of .(hern has its merits. That seasoned smoker, Sherlock Holmes, would doubtlessly prefer the last, named. ‘ ~ if Don’t throw away an idea because it seems very “simple.” Fortunes were made from the safety pin, pen knife, boot protector, etc. If you have an idea for an invention, come and discuss its protection and development with us now.—Henry Hughes Ltd.
