Default Drum tobacco

Posted By: NYHighlanderFan

My pouch reads Factory 39, 4th Dist, NC...but I've never said that the pouch in my collection has a card inside. I always just thought it was a great item to go along with my cards. And at the end of the day, I just want to see a Drum cigarette box from the 20th century!!

IMHO, we're splitting hairs when it comes to exact wording on the backs of these cards. I have several T59 flags with Sweet Caporal Tobacco Wrappers on the back. Do I dare assume those came in packs of rolling papers similar to the Drum and Dukes Mixture papers? Has anyone seen a pack of Sweet Caps Tobacco Wrappers?...I never have!

Whether they're cigarettes, scrap, plug, chew, cheroots or blunts it's all in the products name. There could not have been any government regulations on what the cards exactly said. If it was true, the Sweet Caporal Tobacco Wrappers cards wouldn't say "All Tobacco, No Paper, Not a Cigarette" on it. They would say something like "Ask Dad who has the best wrappers".
