Did people actually give gift-wrapped cartos of cigarettes as Christmas presents? I guess the past really is another country.
I met a guy at the local library last month who claimed he knew Johnny Roventini, the Philip Morris Bellhop. According to this fellow, Johnny blew the considerable money he made and ended up in sales. Sic transit tobacco spokemen.
He seems to have had a pretty good life.
I bought my father cigarettes for gifts a few times, but he liked Chesterfields.
I bought them for my father, too. Camels.
