Wushu cigs!

Found these on sale today, from the 1930's! Interesting for those who think commercialization of martial arts is purely a current day phenomena ;)

Spectacular find, B-Rad. Wu Shu Cigabettes (sp). I wish there was a way to preserve that image here.

I guess that's like their Marlboro Man.

I wonder where they got their baccy back then?

Check out my article Where There's Smoke....The Fighting Smoking Pipe of Kungfu in our 2002 September/October issue. Tobacco was banned by China's Emperor Wan Li in 1612 CE.

Thanks MK - you da man.
