Re: Cigarettes

I remember my Great Grandma having a dog approximately 10" high that was made from Senior Service packets. My sister and I spent hours wondering how someone could weave cardboard into that shape. It must have took them ages to make. Obviously before television came on the scene.

Yes I remember seeing a dog made from Woodbine packets, probably as you say John in a shop window but could have been made at home in the long dark evenings before TV.

Passing Cloud, Bachelor, Kensitas, Black Russian, Domino, Peter Stuyvesant, State Express 555, etc, etc. Some of the posh ones came in tubs or boxes & loads with gift tokens so you'd smoke more & get cancer quicker - it did for my dad age 59 anyway!
