There's something even worst than that: french filterless Gitanes, the
worst and heavioest cigarettes I have ever seen. Obviously, I "smoked"
them only during a 3 weeks long strike on part of the tobacco monopoly
agency. Probably corn silk is better, LOL

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.

Russian cigarettes (at least in the old USSR days) were even worse, if you
can believe it...

You suggested that some "stores" order by the pallet load. A store is an
individual building. I read what you wrote. If you don't like being
misunderstood, you must use the correct words.

Try again.

They were named something like "papyrosi", IIRC.

Thanks a lot! Truly.

I will check this out.
The benefits of fish oil are well researched. While Flax Seed Oil is
supposed to be good, it's not as good as the other.

Thanks again!

Yes, thanks, "papirosi" was the name I was thinking of...

When I visited East Germany and Czechoslovakia in the late 70's it was
always interesting to see the various brands of cigarettes, especially the
Soviet ones (I did not smoke). A lot of them were "space" - themed, e.g.
"Laika", "Kosmonaut", etc. At that time Marlboros were produced under
licence in the CSSR and when I first arrived in Prague I was somewhat
astonished.to see the sides of several apartment buildings painted with
these huge Marlboro logos. Coca - Cola was also at that time bottled there
under licence, it was available most everywhere. Tic - Tacs (from West
Germany) had also just been introduced, they were the big rage...and I think
Cinzano vermouth was bottled under licence, too.

In the DDR no such western brands were available (except in the hard -
currency "Intershops"), but East Germans knew all the western brands from
watching West German TV. Remember the funny scene from the film _Goodbye
Lenin!_ where the mother's birthday is being celebrated and she sees the
huge Coke sign being unveiled outside the window...her son hurriedly
explains to her that Coca - Cola was actually an East German invention,
lol...

Ah, I miss those old Cold War days...they were *very* interesting times.

I understand I don't feel safe just because I can (but don't) pack a gun.
Fact is more people are killed with their own weapons than not. My idea of
safety is to keep my eyes open and my head up. Walk and park in well
lighted areas, and not where my car can be hemmed in between SUV's and vans.
If someone is going to break into my house there's not much I can do about
it other than an alarm system and to have a planned escape route. Guns?
Nope, sorry, won't happen. Armed doesn't mean safe.
