Loading ...i remember my parents buying cigarettes for a quarter a pack from a vending machine and there were two or three pennies inside the cellophane wrapper (early ’50s). of course, they were regular, old fashioned short (not “king size”) without a filter.
later (early ’60s) when i was in the navy, when we got out of u.s. water offshore, they were a dollar a carton without the tax. king size pall malls, my brand, were a dollar ten a carton. on shore, off the base, (taxed) they were thirty cents a pack.
now, i don’t smoke, and that’s even cheaper – easier on the health too!
