It’s been said that people should be judged from the perspective of the generation in which they lived.  We mention this here because we’re going to mention the “smoking” word.

With the cost of a carton of cigarettes around $13 in some areas, cigarettes costing $15 to $ 20 may not seem seem all that shocking anymore, unless we clarify that we’re talking about $15 to $ 20 for a pack, not a carton, and this was the price years ago!  This chunk of change made Shepheard’s Hotel Cigarettes one of the world’s most expensive cigarettes. This full-bodied, German produced cigarette (Connshade Cigar Manufacturer) available only at a good tobacconist, but comments made on forums suggest the cigarettes are nearly impossible to find. Some smokers get them from a distributor in Germany, some have gotten them from Ed’s Tinder box in Santa Monica, and who stocks them sells them out within minutes when they come in. Shepheard’s Hotel Cigarettes is a real specialty treat for connoisseurs who say that nothing else comes close to them.

So, what do you put on the packaging of a pricey, high quality product? A Saluki, it seems. We weren’t able to find any other explanation.
