I remember these! I think my Great-Uncle smoked these for a while before switching to Chesterfield.

Of course, back then, everyone was giving away coupons, stamps, free dishes, you name it!

What?! You mean one million coupons won't get me an iron lung? 🐛

But I've only got another 5 thousand to go!

Not bad, Paul. BTW, have you gotten a hold of A Desert Called Peace by Tom Kratman yet? Best thing I've read in quite a while.

Expat--no Kratman to hand yet. Will pursue. Thanks!
