PALL MALL since 1899

PALL MALL is FAMOUS cigarettes?

These three carton box I collected somewhere in 2008 clearly indicates that 

PALL MALL have been around for over a decade!

But of course back then it was Rothmans of PALL MALL.

Gee! I would wanna go find me an old 

 cigarette pack with Rothmans of PALL MALL!

The above are the 3 flavors of the Limited Edition

that also comes in twin pack special box 

( the bigger box as shown on the left )

Just before the month ends for me to conclude on

this month's showcase of Marlboro Intense brand, 

I'll arrange a few more of PALL MALL's other special packages.

Until then, I'll be seeing you very soon!

Do have a wonderful week ahead!

The Transition of Matterhorn

Before presenting the Perilly's side-opening packs, the following marks the end of a very old menthol brand, probably the only brand that sell alongside the strong SALEM menthol - the Matterhorn. It has been called the old man's cigarette. But it has it's ending, finally beaten out of the market by SALEM!

However, Pall Mall has taken the liberty of taking over the company and "converting" it into a new breed of Pall Mall - menthol flavor. Originally of course Pall Mall already has it's own menthol. But why it is doing this the reasons I have not known.

In the recent years there have been some take overs as well. Cigarette brands do tumble! I still remember in the early 80's, I used to smoke Rothmans of Pall Mall, the 100's king size. That was their trade mark of King Size cigarettes - the one and only perhaps! And almost every smoker knows! But today, Rothmans is Rothmans and Pall Mall is what it is now!

The following box shows the new transition of Matterhorn

with it's name shedding off into Pall Mall menthol.

Well, I am glad I'm one of the proud owner of this special release during it's take over. But sad to say I have the only holding box of Matterhorn on my collection! I should have more than one, normally prefered!
