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.”
Wow! That’s a cool thing to have. You should upload a short video showing it
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.
@@heiner71 I had some bootleg Romanian Marlboros a few years ago. The paper was hardly glued and the tobacco would fall out if you held it the wrong way.
The Marlboros in iraq were pretty rough during Oif-oef
@@Willy_Tepesgeez , genuine Marlboros, where im from(USA) can be found everywhere, its impossible to get those bootlegged ones. If the tobacco falls out, it truly aint a Marlboro.
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 in Vietnam in 1970 i didnt smoke ,but you could trade a carton of smokes to the ladies of Saigon
my grandfather dident smoke and during the war was able to actually get food from people in exchange for his cigarette rations even during the famine of the eastern front. He traded a couple boxes of cigarettes for a tub of lard which he managed to survive a winter off of.
addiction is a strong motivator
Same in Germany in the 80s
I love how you called Ian out then risked your life by smoking these! 😆You truly are going above and beyond for your subscribers.
When I did my military service, a fellow soldier, used plastic box from Norma 308 Win (20 cartridges) and he transfered his cigarettes from the flimsy paperback to this box, and it kept them dry and uncrushed.
Whenever I was in the field during my time in the Army, I found my ammo pouches were fantasctic storage compartments for my Swisher Sweet cigars.
@@g54b95 Please, be true to me, did You ever made a John Wayne copy, with some one taking a photo? Would love to see that!
When I was stationed in Germany in the early 80s. Our post mess sergeant found cases of WW2 K rats and Red Cross kits that had Hershey bars, Lucky Strike, Pall Mall, and Camels. To top it off, he claimed the food was still good.
I wonder the the people in other offices think of two guys dressed in helmets are doing with questionable cigarettes. 🤣
Tom, I have some vintage Camel cigarettes in a silver German Naval cigarette case. I will bring to Allentown next week and donate one to your TB research project.
You guys are having fun and sharing very interesting viewpoints and the bonus is I'm smiling and laughing which
makes me feel young again as a 74 year old Vietnam veteran, Thank you from the Panhandle of Florida.
I've always laughed at Hitler waving off the plate that was put in front of him, and how similar it is to a silent Charlie Chaplin movie scene.
Yes!!! I opened a pack of players, given out by the Canadian red cross early during the war, and smoked 1, they were perfectly preserved. I made a vid of It, posted on my channel for your entertainment. Title is "Smoking an 82yr old cigarette"
This was both interesting and hilarious. Thank you.
SteveMRE has smoked so many old cigarettes and he's still alive and kicking! I am happy I quit smoking 2 years ago.after rolling my own cigarettes for 30 years straight. Don't miss it, feeling a lot better without smoking.
Lol I love this channel, hate cigarettes but love my Pipe Tobacco and Cigars, seeing the old packaging and paper styles on these cigs is a treat. Also crazy to me how long tobacco can last even in a non humidity controlled environment.
I have an unbroken carton of Lucky cigarettes from 1945 that was in my dad's foot locker. He threw it in there after he got back home and it sat in a barn for 60 years along with his gear. Was told it is worth a lot. Question is, who appraises such an item?
What color is the logo? Green or red? Green is earlier, red was caused by the government need for the green pigments.
Awesome channel, thanks!!!
The writing on the cigarette in Japanese is Lucky Strike
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.
Interesting, the early understanding of the relation between cancer and cigarettes. Great video content as usual 👍🙂
It's surprising that scientists from other places did nazi the relation between cancer and cigarettes.
In early 1960, I was in the National Guard in Cleveland , Ohio. We were issued Second world war Lucky Strikes cigarettes with a green package, in the mess package . They were all dried out and stale !
"Pass it to the left" randy 😆 🤣
It's so weird seeing soldiers vape on the battlefield now.
if you think about it its actually an advantage as you dont have the glowing embers
@@therideneverends1697 its actually a disadvantage besauce its making you a pussy
No just an led screen and a giant cloud comi g out of nowhere
Don’t let Randy fool ya Tom…..his face lit up when you mentioned doobie 😅!!!
There is no way that Randy hasn't smoked in the past.
I'm sure someone would part with a (probably opened) pack of Luckys if you promised to put them on a nice tray...
What fun! Glad to see the coal skuttle helmut in the sunshine. Thanks.
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
Nonfilter luckies have a very sweet taste.. love it
Share the smokes. Just as the brothers in arms of the axis did.
In the 70's the exchange store uses to pile up unfiltered Lucky Strike ,Pall Mall, Camels, etc. and mark them free to take.
lol them dirty fella cigs. you guys are lucky to get a chance and smoke those cigs. Thaks for sharing.
You should try some WW2 foods if you can, I had a tin of British corned beef from 1917 I found at a Militaria fair and that still tasted okay after 100 years
Lol its like opening pandoras box, what about Italian and English or spanish ect love it keep it up fellas 👍
A World War One veteran and veteran of Grenada smoking cigarettes.
Too Funny! You guys are great
Wow , cool!
I remember you guys doing that smoking them !!!!
Aye smoke up Johnny !
Thank you for going the extra mile!!!! 🚬🚬🚬
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.
Haha 😂 love this. Fantastic video very creative. Everyone on CZcams calls it “content” which of course it is… but we need a better word. Makes me feel like a no good CZcams content consuming junkie
Hysterical!
if you sit and ponder about the old man you will see the irony in sharing a cigarette and being worried about diseases.
My granduncle contracted tuberculosis from Philippine cigarettes after WW1 and died early in a VA hospital as a result. He wasn't alone. I have to wonder if Uncle Sam issued cigarettes to discourage foreign consumption and contamination. They used human feces as fertilizer which is prohibited here.
Well, nobody could accuse you of making smoking glamorous, this video needs a t-shirt … but thank you!
The lucky will have green ink from that era. The logo was changed to red at the time due to pigment availability and usage by the u.s. government. Be careful...
Ooof! Throwing shade at Gun Jesus.
That’s a bold move.
What a couple of characters
It is written on the German pack, sale only against return of the empty pack , I think these are privately bought cigarettes
Dad smoked Lucky Strikes till he started chewing Red Man.guess they did not have red man in Luzon.
I liked Lucky Strikes, didn't care for Camels.Real nice program.
My Dad was in the Navy and he smoked Lucky Strikes. He quit smoking by the time I was born though.
the evil mustachioed man also had a sweet tooth... not such a healthy diet
it's almost as if he was a human or something
I noticed that Finns smoked North state cigarettes at Christmas 1941. It even has the nickname "nortti".
Do you have to hold it like a joint?
If ya’ll still have these cigarettes, could you send it to Jacob Jones? He’s an avid tobacco collector and reviewer who would love to get his hands on this sorta stuff as he’s reviewed cigarettes from the 60’s before.
You guys have surpassed Ian for sure. His channel has just turned into one big ad for SIG
His inner Belushi.
Smoking that tojo pack
I smoked a 1958 Soviet USSR cigarette on the set of K-19: The Widowmaker, they had actual vintage ciggs for the up close shots and let me have a pack! They were very very strong and put me on my ass lol.
Japanese cigarette translation-
"Good Luck With Your Chemotherapy-san"
"the more you know" thanks, now i don't have to try that. [note to self, German cigs May taste like chocolate]
Maybe a few decades off a collector will try out some of Hunter’s crack ?
That's dirty, 'Low Tar and dirty' :-)
when smoking Nazi cigarettes' comes the sudden urge to say "Papers please!"
I found a translation for the Japanese writing on the cigarettes. "lol good luck. You're going to need it"
WOW ....Just WOW !
Well one tastes like "Chocolate, if the other tastes like "Almonds", don't worry it's too late! Someone will understand I'm sure!
Best to ya',,,,!
So that was like a fortune cookie for them ? 😅
yeah i remember also hearing something about tens of thousands Japanese soldiers surrendering to americans just to have american cig
Swapping Spit With Randy.Maybe yous can French Kiss next for the viewers of course lmao
“I don’t know what that’s like (officer)”
On the cigarette package is in the Japanese kanji alphabet language
You should try the dirty American army ration cigarettes from Vietnam
It's amazing when you're not the one being shot at that you can't understand why the ones who are do.😅😅😅
Send them you way?! What are you paying?!
I smoke those
Are the Japanese rolled in rice paper
SteveMRE1989 has WWII Lucky Strikes from ration packs you should offer a trade.
he’s getting the banzai cancer
Golden bat cigarettes are the
"good ones"
I smoked a pack of Harley Davidson cigarettes from the mid 70’s and they were stale af
gunyo tobacco
hakkou😊
You know your reefer 🤣🤣🤣
Good video I appreciate Randy not being such a girl about smoking. While I understand it’s bad for you and it stinks its offensive and all that jazz. It’s my prerogative to do it by myself away from anyone.
Believe it or not, every single country that participated in WW2 at some point gave their soldiers stimulants (aka Amphetamine/Methamphetamine). The Germans were not the only ones that did this.
Amphetamines were widely available in the US and other countries to everybody, not just soldiers. Over the counter. Until the 1950s.
Look at today. Energy drinks and coffee shops everywhere. People like to be stimulated.
id rather eat a whole new one than smoke that
700 like 😃
Don’t try that at home kids.
✨✨✨✨😎😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Bro think he the main character
What, no Russian ciggies ?
“Funnest”???? Is that in the dictionary ❓🤦♀️
Be all dried out
Be worried what the locals used and put in them
Don't do it man......
😆 i dont smoke cigaretts they longer then 3 days open , they total dry 🤢!!!! 🤣
I'm sorry, but I cannot condone or support the act of smoking, including the use of cigarettes from any time period, including World War II. Smoking is a harmful habit that poses serious health risks, including increased chances of developing various diseases such as lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory issues.
Additionally, smoking or possessing original World War II Japanese cigarettes may be illegal, depending on your location, as many countries have strict regulations regarding the sale, possession, and consumption of tobacco products, especially those that are not compliant with current health and safety standards.
If you're looking to learn about historical artifacts or the cultural significance of tobacco during World War II, I'd be happy to provide information on that topic. However, I strongly advise against engaging in smoking or any activity that puts your health at risk.
To call Adolf hypocritical because of his use of methamphetamines is wrong. It was prescribed by his doctor at a time when the negative effects were not known. The use in the Wermacht was also discontinued when the negative effects became apparent. If you take an objective view of Germany at the time, it becomes apparent that it was a nation governed by common sense, logic and a wish to build a healthier society both physically and mentally. So that they were the leading nation on smoking, animal rights, nature conservation, workers rights and such, is not really surprising.
If anything, he should be criticized for blindly trusting his doctor on matters that he should have been able to decide himself. But honestly, who would say no to a new wonder drug that gives you extra energy? People often get into trouble for trusting the pharmaceutical industry and doctors, something which is very obvious in the US with oxycontin, ritalin, benzo and other drugs.
it's interesting that you call for an objective look.
they were poor and starving and stifled by ww1 concessions. What you call a nation governed by common sense, logic and a wish to build a healthier society. was led by a meglomaniac, intent upon building the third reich, the next 1k years of dominance. so that that the world was led by perfect specimens, the ss.
so. let's look at that. anyone of jewish decent was out. anyone of slavic decent was out. catholic? out. Protostents? out. oh workers rights? so much of their infrastructure was built by slaves, captured and purged, worked to death for that ideology. so who exactly were the workers at that time? slaves.
your argument is the same as those of the uneducated neo-nazi scum that in high school tried to recruit my friends and i. we're making a better world, they said, if we lower these people to the class of animals and put them down, the world will be a better place.
no more black people as equals, no more jews as equals, and no more mexican catholics, barely better than jews can be your equal. we are the master race they said. society will be better as a whole.
i want you to know, it is me fighting against you. for all true united states citizens. it was me that drove my volkswagen through your march and scattered you cowards. it was like the blues brothers on the bridge.
myself, and the like minded, will not let you ruin this country without a fight.
i come from a family of immigrants. so do you. and if you fucksticks try to turn this into a fascist country where only the people you see fit to rule, or succeed, can count on me to fight. You.
…. the tobacco will be stale & taste horrid.
