    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

    That is awesome!

    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?

    Tobacco has been part of Chinese culture for centuries

    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.
