Here's a carton of the stuff circa 1935. It was also said to protect you from hangovers.

That smoke on the porch after coming home from a hard day's work... That's what I miss the most.

    The black coffee with a cigarette in the afternoon sun is a wonderful moment of Zen.

    That was always a great one. The other one I miss was after a hard week at work I'd roll to a gig and just get lost playing guitar with one hanging out of my mouth. There's a brief moment in the 11th bar of the solo of Wish You Were Here where I would take a long inhale. One foot on the stage monitor. Eyes closed. I became one with the crowd, the guitar, and that cigarette. Cover sheets for TPS reports fell away into nothing.
