In the early 1980s we occasionally got Turkish cigarettes in a little white
metal tin containing 10 (??) cigarettes. The brand was Balkan Sobranie.

They were delicious and "creamy!" The best cigarettes I ever smoked.

A Balkan Sobranie and a dopio cappuccino were a match made in Heaven!

Tomorrow marks my 3rd smoke-free anniversary.
