Smoking Original WW2 Japanese Cigarettes!

May 4, 2023 | In this video, we smoke an original pack of WW2 Japanese cigarettes! This video is a part two of a three-part series of smoking WW2 cigarettes. In the finale we will be smoking an original unopened pack of Lucky Strikes cigarettes. Please reach out if you have a pack we can smoke.


This is the first video in the three-part series:


I've given up smoking, but I must say those cigarettes look very tempting. They were surely of good quality. Even when I started smoking back in the day, cigarettes were of a much higher quality than they are today. Today, the only thing that is high is the price of them! I should add that I am rather surprised that those cigarettes are still smokeable after all this time! When I smoked, I found that the best place to store cigarettes in order to keep them fresh for as long as possible was in the freezer. That's a trick I learnt many years ago whilst working in the Middle East, where, due to the hot dry weather, tobacco dries out very quickly if left in the open air.

Thanks a lot for a great videos. I really enjoyed them. – © Mark Alexander
