Those were the days…I got onto Park Drive in my teens, none of that wimpy filter stuff! If some one offered me a Bensons I used to snap off the filter and light up from the ragged end. How cool was that? Not!
My paternal grandfather signed up underage with the Northumbrians in the First World War and in his interview with the Brigadier, the only question was “What cigarettes do you smoke?” When he replied, “Capstan Full Strength”, he was in! The number of cigarette cards he left behind were a tribute to the vast amount he must have consumed in his lifetime…
Brilliant, smoking nostalgia! Oh, Park Drive, how could I have not mentioned them? I could fit a pack of 10 in the back of my radio at boarding school. Interesting, the strong link to the services, Navy Cut, etc. Snapping off the filter? Hard core, I would have been impressed!
