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 habitual use of such tobacco is bound sooner or later to affect the consumer injuriously. I'nfortunately practically all imported tobaccos: are heavily (barged with nicotine. And in that respect they differ essentially from our Now Zealand grown tobaccos, the comparatively small amount of nic_ otine 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. Ttiverliead Cold, mild, Xavy Cut {'Bulldog label) medium. and Cut Plug Xo. 10 (Bull's Head) full strength. Each of them has its merits. That seasoned smoker. Sherlock Holmes, would doubtlessly prefer the last named.—Advt.
