Help Knox find lucky strikes...

[ACiD303]

The tobbaconist in solihull also sells lucky strike lights.

I take it they dont have a website ?

American Spirit from your local Oddbins.

Are these the yellow coloured cartons with smooth tobacco that each one seems to last 1.5 times a normal fag?

[shiato storm]

they are additive free

some how i doubt that

[Moby-Dick]

why ?

most us cigarettes are dipped in all sorts of extra chemicals ( unlike UK cigs used to be where you could only use tobacco & water - no preservatives )

it also depends on where the tobacco comes from and the type of curing use ( flue or air cured for example )

knowledge comes from my old man who was a leaf buyer for BAT for quite some time.

I take it they dont have a website ?

No they dont but if you want some i could buy and mail you them.

i live in Southampton and they sell them in a few places, they also sell them at ASDA, so maybe try some supermarkets?

[Knoxville]

Oi you, stop pimping

They don't em in supermarkets round here, I've checked asda, sainsburys and tesco

[Jimmy Little]

Have you looked in the yellow pages for local tobacco shops? They seem to be ‘underground’ these days, selling snuff and pot gear..

<sound of grinding thread revival>

Knoxxy, how did you get on finding Lucky Strikes?

OK, it's like this... My missus works for a tobacco wholesaler Soooo, she would be happy to get some for you guys at cost, (she is checking with boss on price). And I am more than happy to mail them. (Would have to be multiples of 200).

Now before our great moderators reach for the lawyers . Any purchase would be official, completely legit and all duty paid (and private, not through Hexus). You might save a few pence per pack on wholesale prices, but no funny business I'm afraid.


She can get Reds and Silver (Milds).

[Knoxville]

I didn't find any man, all my sources came back empty handed unfortunatly, but get me a price on em and I may well have a few sleeves off you and throw a few beer tokens in for your trouble

[ACiD303]

She can get Reds and Silver (Milds)

How about lights? (or are they same as Silvers/Milds?) If so, I'll be buying a fair few

[Knoxville]

Lights and milds are iirc the same thing

[ACiD303]

The Lucky Strike Lights I had were labelled as Lights . . . but had a silver outer circle from the red centre circle logo as opposed to reds which have a black outer circle. . .

just checking anyway

[Rob]

Right, sorry been on nights.

She can get 'Reds' and 'Silver'-Mild. That's exactly what she's written (I smoke roll-ups so means nothing to me , sorry ). Now I'm trying to read her writing for price. Deffo £45, and looks like 53p. So you'd be looking at £45.53 +VAT. And of course the mailing of your choice.

HTH

~£55 per sleeve then . . . do u know how long it takes to order?

[Rob]

As long as it takes me to wrap and post

Acid, YGPM mate

[Knoxville]
