Box of Candy Cigarettes

4 1/2″ x 6 “, pencil, watercolour and pen & ink

A while ago one of the project managers at work purchases a full carton of about 24 packets of candy cigarettes from the recently opened Dollar Store in our building.  There were about 6  or-so different designs.  At first we were all delighted with the throw-back treats until we actually ate a few.  They tasted like slightly chalky mints.  The idea of them was better than the actual candies.

  • Ahhh I used to love candy cigarettes when I was a kid! I’ve searched and searched for them but apparently they are impossible to get in the states because the supposedly promote smoking. I’m so jealous Josie, your Dollar Stores are a thousand times better then ours!

  • LOL. Thanks, Bert. I never thought anyone in the U.S. would be envious of the Dollar Stores here.
