Fosters Green Shag Tobacco The Fosters Shag is blended from 20 different shag tobaccos creating an excellently priced budget shag tobacco that has shown to be very popular due to its high quality and low price. A smooth, mellow smoking tobacco that is great value for money. The Green is a mild to medium strength tobacco with a menthol topping.
Shag Tobacco: Due to some hand rolling smokers using shag tobacco for hand rolling purposes, HMRC have taken action to stop this abuse of the tobacco taxation. HMRC have defined that any tobacco where the strands are less than 1.5mm will be taxed as a Hand Rolling tobacco. All shag tobacco produced as of January 2011 will be cut above 1.5mm. This is a pipe tobacco and is taxed accordingly. It is a criminal offence to use shag tobacco for hand rolling and we do not endorse this.
