General Motors supplied Chesterfield cigarettes to the troops. They included a small postcard with GM’s address printed in it and asked the soldiers to return the card so GM would know that the cigs were delivered. I have one of the cards from 1943, complete with US Army postmark and a censor mark. Cpl. Clark E. Peach wrote, “Sirs, I received your cigarettes and am enjoying them very much. Thanks a million.”

The worst cigarettes I've ever smoked were cold war Soviet cigarettes, lit with an East German lighter. I think they were filled with leavings from the pastures of Mother Russia.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I am originally from West Germany and back in the 80's a friend of mine had frequent dealings in Berlin, where he often brought East German and other Eastern European cigarettes. They were just plain awful. He also brought Marlboros and Camels that were much cheaper than regular and they tasted off as well. I believe they were bootlegged.

The problem of counterfeit cigarettes is because of our insanely high taxes on tobacco. They say it is to discourage us from smoking and protect our health but at the same time they are making profit off our bad habits. Basically, tobacco is a stress reducer, so if they really cared they'd make society less stressful. I actually think they want to kill us.@@theonewhoknows2

As the Author of 'Tobacco of the Emporer', the book in Ian's video, I think this is great! Those cigarettes are 'Hakko' brand cigarettes, and were manufactured by the Japanese army in the Philippines.

When he said the Japanese had cigarettes from Papua New Guinea, I HIGHLY doubt that because that was an Australian colony. In fact my grandfather was conscripted to fight there. They got in but got pushed back out before they got to the capital. They got only a few miles from thr capital and then the real trained army come back from Libya and our numbers pushed them back. Unless the guys at the back were sending out stolen already harvested tobacco which I doubt it, it's highly unlikely any even got into Japanese hands. My grandfather mentioned sunflowers fairly often but not tobacco however in the 70s we had plenty of tobacco growing there and they still grow enough for local use there which cost a lousy 30 cents for a couple handfuls of dry uncut leaf there.

My uncle served in 1970 as a combat engineer. I don't know if he ever smoked, but he did once say over there that if you buy a pack of cigarettes from the locals, you would get marry Jane most times. He said you could trade one pack of smokes for a pack of joints and a Coca-Cola. Have you ever experienced that by chance. I'm curious as to whether he was joking or not. He normally doesn't joke around

The characters on the Japanese cigarette read as 八紘, which means eight corners of the world. The word was originally from an ancient Chinese book, Liezi (列子). The Japanese Emperor’s ambition was to rule all corners of the world, hence this phrase 八紘一宇, meaning “all world under one roof”. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakkō_ichiu

Great video, I'm loving your channel, thanks! As you talk about, Forgotten Weapons did a video about opium laced Japanese smokes they sold to the occupied peoples. Crazy stuff. Worst cigs I ever smoked were Mexican Marlboros, also Philippines Marlboros were truly nasty. The Marlboros I got in the Middle East were the real deal though. It was tough to quit while I worked there because they were very low priced but I did it in my 40s.

Just curious, did you try to rehydrate them. In other words, did you put them in a humidor for at least a day? Modern cigars and cigarettes that are fresh have a little bit of moisture in them. Was the tobacco in those old cigarettes dry and "crackly"? Even today if you leave a pack of cigarettes open for a while they will dry out and give you a "rougher" smoke.
