Folks,
I hope this isn't too controvertial, but I like to collect tobacciana without health warnings, or at least without the gruesome medical images on products here in the UK.
There are plenty of vintage tobacco tins around but there are also new pipe tobacco tins and cigar tubes/boxes free of health warnings if they come direct from the country of origin. With some of these products the importer's health warnings are just stuck on the tin/tube/packet and can be carefully removed. A clean with some lighter fluid and the offending stickers are gone. I am assuming that as long as these items are our own property and not for resale, there is no problem with doing this.
IMHO there is nothing nicer than a smokers cabinet full of warning free products, to be enjoyed in the privacy of our own home. Anyone else doing this?
