Players No.6 were 2/- for ten (4/- for 20), rougher (and smaller) No.10s were slightly cheaper - again in packs of 10 (or 20). As a 14 year old these were the smokes of choice - Parky's if you were really hard up! IP: 82.14.247.17

Very strong & un-tipped & came in packs of 10. My grandma smoked 'em ! -- We inhabit an island made of coal, surrounded by a sea full of fish. How can we go wrong.......

We shared it and then puked up. Later, I came to love them, but not for that long. I did still get Senior Service until not that long ago, as well as Capstans. The thing with strong fags is that you don't actually smoke many of them - unlike the weedy shite like Silk Cut that folks would literally chain-smoke to try and get a buzz off. No-one ever discusses the effects of cigarettes in the public arena, which may be why such other conundrums also go undiscussed. IP: 81.174.241.13
