So I stumbled upon a packet of this stuff today. This was my first tobacco I started with.

I had a tin from the 1960s. It’s ok I guess.

"Smoking causes heart attack" brand? Of course, I remember along with "if you are pregnant, smoking can cause birth defect" brand x)

That doesn't sway me away from buying this at all. If fact, one of the things I ask when shopping for cigars is... "Is this strong enough to kill someone?" cause sometimes, I just crave the defibrillator.

Was Gold Block a U.S. brand? What's in it? Mostly burley? Aromatic? Tell, tell.

Exactly. My first visual reaction was some dude chilling in bed shirtless mid-day, off work, with a chick reaching for his junk. That doesn't disuage me from buying said product....it's better than my actual day going on.

It's fire!!!!................there used to be a classic mix in the U.K. using Gold Block and....erm......erm.............maybe condor....or St. Bruno.........I'm sure one of the members thats even older than me will chime in with the answer

Ha ha, Warning this tobacco will give you a restful day with a babe resting her hand on your junk. ha ha.

If those guys in the UK are getting Wessex Gold Block in OTC Codger blends every day, I'm going to be pissed. I keep renewing my "one time" email alert on it coming back into stock here in the US monthly.

until you get the back story. It's been so long he had to fake a terminal illness just to get a disinterested handy. And that's just sad.

 

[anotherbob]

to me this image looks like the guy is dying and they don't know why but the lady does. Because she's a lady dracula who has been draining his life force. Seriously look at her and the way she is looking at him.

Kind of reminds me of Black Death cigarettes. I heard Slash (from Gn’R) smoked them so I always wanted to try them. Only saw them once in New Hope, PA in the mid-late 90s.

I think me and a friend bought a pack of these a piece. They weren't too good. Real strong taste to them but I think I enjoyed them more towards the end of the pack. Grows on ya. Sad so many interesting smokes are gone now.

Its a UK OTC blend. VaBur but has a tendency to burn hotter than the centre of the sun.

It’s Ogden’s Brand made by Macbaren. That would make me think probably not?
