My dad smoked Salems all through my misspent youth. The ad doesn't exactly make me feel nostalgic, though. In my head, the Salems are too intimately associated with benign neglect.
I quit smoking when The Kid was born, which is 16 years ago now. I took to it with gusto, just like all my other addictions. At my worse, I smoked three packs a day. Oral fixation, sucking on a fag, do I really need to explain? Anyhoo, first there was JPS, then Dunhill, and at the end I smoked Cartier. Oh shut-up bitches.
Don't miss it at all, to be honest. Although I must admit that a few times a year I do enjoy a leisurely cigar. Nothing like suckin' on a fat Cuban with my boy Rabbit ;-)
PS. Ahhhhhhh, misspent youth ... those were the days .. if only I could remember most of it ...
i gave up for my firstborn but was never desperate enough to smoke menthol. Bodes i didnt even know Cartier made cigarettes!! what was that we were saying about bling?? I do remember my father smoking Dunhill when we lived in England and drove a beema...
Speedy, I meant to answer your question... it's on King St South in Newtown. It's by a building demolition, so maybe it was covered up before now? I don't recall seeing it before, but it has obviously been there for ages.

Misspent youth? So this isn't a new thing then?...

I can't quite believe it's survived for so long... where is it, TOA?
Smoked the lights. then switched to marlboro menthol lights. then quit. quitting is best.

Haha, Bodhi, if I had to pick three cigarette brands for you, that would be them! Hilarity.
