Sherlock Holmes: Trifles

“You still smoke the Arcadia mixture of your bachelor days then!” [CROO]    When Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson first met, Watson noted he was not averse to strong tobacco and that he usually smoked what he called "ship's" himself. But later, Holmes finds him smoking the "Arcadia mixture" from his bachelor days.   Why the switch? And what was it? Robert F. Cairo, Jr. identified the Arcadia mixture in a piece in The Baker Street Journal from 2000. And it's just a Trifle.   If you have a suggestion for a Trifles episode, let us know at trifles@ihearofsherlock.com.
