On the internet I purchased an original WWII package of Cigarettes de Troupe. This would be one of the projects I will be working on in the nearby future.
Cigarettes de Troupe was the name that was used by the tobacco company to distinguish the quality of tobacco delivered to the soldiers of the French army, in order to boost the morale of troops during the war. It is known in France for a tobacco brown, a rather bitter taste.
This tobacco no longer exists, but the tobacco company continues to produce Gauloises tobacco type “Corporal”.
During the war you could also find these packs in German possesion.
When the package arrives I will take this into production for the shop.
How to date the packs?
