"Is a tall man, left-handed, limps with the right leg, wears thick-soled shooting-boots and a grey cloak, smokes Indian cigars, uses a cigar-holder, and carries a blunt pen-knife in his pocket. There are several other indications, but these may be enough to aid us in our search."
(Adventure IV, pg. 55)
The habit of smoking cigars developed around the end of the 1800s and beginning of the 1900s. The image above shows an antique 1900s cigar holder.
