Time for a pulp countdown now, and today it& #39;s my top 10 British tabs!
Smoke & #39;em if you got & #39;em... #SaturdayThoughts
Smoke & #39;em if you got & #39;em... #SaturdayThoughts
At #10: John Player Superkings! A night at the bingo wasn& #39;t complete without eight cards, a bottle of Double Maxim and a JPS Super on the go. Quiet now, they& #39;re doing the link-up...
At #9: House of Commons Straight Cut! These unfiltered beauties - now sadly discontinued - simply reek of Hansard, balance of payments deficits and the three day week. Surely the mother of all parliamentary smokes...
At #8: Lambert and Butler! These fancy fags in their brushed aluminium packet were always popular with teachers and people who drove Volvos. They probably watched BBC2 as well...
At #7: Capstan Full Strength! The fat cousin of the Wills Wild Woodbine, the Capstan stood for a time when cigarettes were meant to make you cough. My aunties loved & #39;em...
At #6: the John Player Special! The oily rag of Formula 1: yes it made your lungs bleed, but just look how pretty that car is! Broom vroom...
At #5: Consulate Menthol! Why goths loved this over-minty baccy is beyond me, but no night at the Batcave in Dean Street was complete without it...
At #4: John Player No.6! They were good enough for the Queen Mum, so they& #39;re good enough for me...
At #3: Sobraine Cocktail Cigarettes! The coolest smoke for the most sophisticated ladies...
At #2: Sullivan Powell No.1! Far superior to their Turkish Ovals this was a true taste of the Orient, made in the heart of Piccadilly...
And at #1: it& #39;s a tie! Embassy Filter is the true taste of snooker, but Regal King Size is basically the coat of arms of Northern England. Don& #39;t make me choose!!
More pulp countdowns another day. Let& #39;s leave the last word on the noble tab to Viz comic...
