Well, I did think it inferred a half-dressed bonk, perhaps keeping your socks on, however, I now realise it really means half-heavy and shag is a finer cut of tobacco.
Doubtless those Dutch bargees smoke full-heavy shag in those very Dutch, very short-stemmed pipes. I have one here, little stumpy thing in its own zip-up chamois leather pouch.
