Being posh I started on Rothman's then worked down to John Player Blue via 555's and Lambert & Butler. Clean now though.

I too thought 10 Regal were the Gazelle's style.

worse for my health i would imagine as they had no filters jim i match your sovereign phase with ny gold flake era and for those who used to hang around on melrose(halecroft) there was the piccadilly era as that was all they sold in 10's at the offy in the square other than the ridiculously expensive B+H. although you couldnt beat turnocks in hale for individual fags (he would get hung for that these days) if you were realy skint

The old misery in the shop in Sale Moor used to do a fag and a match for 5p in 1977. There was also a deal of 3 fags and I assume 3 matches (?) for 10p for those of us who were feeling flush. What happened if your match blew out I'm not sure.

[jiminlondon]

single fags! thats a blast from the past

i even went through a woodbines period to go with my dead mans suit and raincoat

not smoked for 15 years and still miss it

There used to be a coin vending machine in one of the Sale Moor shops that was put in the doorway when the shop was shut. Only sold Embassy Filter in tens. Quite an entreprenuereal move by the shopkeeper until someone cut the chain and had the entire machine away one night.
