   Very popular at the time.   
      
   Nope.  Sherman was and is an expensive brand of cigarette.  Nothing to   
   do with angel dust.

   "Nat Sherman is the brand name for a line of handmade cigars and   
   "luxury cigarettes." The company, which began as a retail tobacconist,   
   continues to operate a flagship retail shop now located on 42nd   
   Street, off Fifth Avenue, in New York City. Corporate offices are now   
   located at the foot of the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, New   
   Jersey."  (Wiki)   
      
   He began manufacturing cigarettes in the 1950s.
