50 years of SALEM

It is quite prestigious when something is being designed by

some well-known artist and SALEM is so willing to go to

the extent just to bring up it's image!

This has been SALEM's celebration of 50 years of freshness

The year was 1956, as old as I am! Yes, the year I was born!

I bought this somewhere in 2006 while drinking at a PUB
when some pretty sexy promoters came in! 

Honestly this box that came with a lighter do look as

ravishing as this SALEM special limited issue, nicelly packed!

Close-up view of the 4 special issues

Another issue for the 50 years celebration.

Hope you eNjOy the view!

After SALEM Ice

It has been the dawn of the age of New Directive Policy 
not only for SALEM but for all cigarettes - country wide!

Yes! Smokers will know what I am talking about and

so will the cigarette conscious non-smokers!

I wrote in my earlier bLoGs on the 2 aftermath of SALEM

which you see over the shelves these days.

Over here, the images again, just for your view!

The SALEM menthol in black - the evo pack!

SALEM's new slim sticks - it seems extra cool!

Before SALEM Ice

Some of the earlier packs of SALEM menthols & it's lights 

before the times of SALEM Ice worth looking into,

SALEM Ice

So far, this seems like the best pack that

SALEM has produced - the special limited edition 

extra cooling sensation SALEM Ice,

our showcase for the month of September.

But it is still SALEM's menthol at it's best!

And the special display Ice cube casing for retailers only, 

which I am very fortunate to have them!

I also collected the full height display stand from the retailer!

The stand is now on display in my Data Room, my workplace.

And not forgetting the SALEM Ice's attractive carton box too!

Well, the showcase of next month will be MILD Seven,

an initiation by an ardent visitor, Kurt, 

who is now my FACEBOOK friend!

And, as usual, remembering SALEM Ice, the Septmember showcase

Marlboro Flip-up Box

Before I wraps up Marlboro for this month, 
and proceed to SALEM Ice, showcase of September,

here is another old unforgettable pack!

Yes, a flip up special in limited edition

that looks like a lighter!

Hope you eNjOy this cute collection of mine!

 And I even collected the counter display box. 
Ooops! But I've even forgotten which retailer gave it to me!

Ultra Lights

Well, as Marlboro started some new generation packs of flavors,

there came one after the other and Ultra Lights has been one of them!

I can't really remember back then if this was a special limited edition,

but it didn't stand long on the shelves! I have not smoked it anyway as 

I just happened to collect them from a canteen at the shipyard! 

Lucky me always meeting nice retailers!
Guess so I'll never quite end Marlboro's range as yet 
but I will be caught up at month end when I had to
settle for SALEM ICE, showcase brand of September month!

 

Above close up view shows the special unique design.

The Mint of Marlboro

In the event of coping up with the new generation of smokers,

like other cigarette producers, Marlboro too have been working

hard on producing more flavors, 

or rather I should say more styles for smokers!

And so, came the lavishly looking Fresh Mint pack! 

2007 seems to be a busy year for most cigarette companies

to get going on new ideas before the new regulations, the new directive 

that was finally strictly being imposed in 2008.

eNjOy the view!
