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.
