I remember when cigs were 19¢ a pack out of a machine. You put in your two dimes, pulled the handle and out came a pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes or any other brand available. Inside the wrapper was a bright new penny.

They cost 17¢ at the store. “Marvel” cigarettes, the generic of it’s day were just 14¢ a pack and if you wanted to go even cheaper, Buy Bull Durham and rolling paper.

Yes indeed, I’m old.
