Well written and very descriptive article Cliff, puts my rubbish into perspective...!
And mention of Capstan brings back memories of my 40 a day habit. Never loyal to one brand, I tried:-
Churchmans, Piccadilly, Guards, Cadets, Passing Clouds, Decca (the self lighting ones, I seem to remember) Consulate, No.6's, No 10's, Weights, Woodbines, Sobranie Black Russian, Sobranie Cocktail, Sobranie Balkan, Pall Mall, Gauloise,Disque Bleu, Gitanes, Marlboro, JPS, Bensons, Rothmans, Albany, Embassy, Gold Leaf, Three Castles and many many more I've long since forgotten...........
