We have an older "Camel" ad, poster size framed and on the wall inthe TV rec room, despite my dislike for smoking the poster shows a very handsome man and the colors are good. I don't remember any of those brands either, bu suspect they might be from across the sea. Picadilly certainly must be.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093078029028920810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187194216909402027.post-20508862217005322822013-05-06T01:13:52.415-07:002013-05-06T01:13:52.415-07:00I never had cigarette cards, but I did amass plent...I never had cigarette cards, but I did amass plenty that were given away with tea.dakotaboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804592205708387211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187194216909402027.post-73450664078008785892013-05-06T01:13:39.458-07:002013-05-06T01:13:39.458-07:00I never had cigarette cards, but I did amass plent...I never had cigarette cards, but I did amass plenty that were given away with tea.dakotaboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804592205708387211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187194216909402027.post-71556122200223258442013-05-06T01:12:44.699-07:002013-05-06T01:12:44.699-07:00Oh yes, Senior Service was (and possibly still is)...Oh yes, Senior Service was (and possibly still is) a brand.
