80-year-old cigarettes found in cinema

[Still Waters]

Three cigarette packets thought to date back to the 1930s have been found in a south Wales cinema.

The Wild Woodbine, Navy Cut and Piccadilly Number Ones were discovered when old seats were being removed from the Market Hall Cinema in Brynmawr.

Cinema director Peter Watkins-Hughes said is believed the cigarettes were left in 1934, when the seats were last replaced.

I had a local theatre near me like that when I was young, it also had 40 year old sticky choc cone substance on the floor under the seats

Just goes to show what you can find after decades of not cleaning up.

So the seats hadn't been replaced in 80 years???? Those must have been some back breakers.

Do cigarettes get better with age, like a vintage wine?

Do cigarettes get better with age, like a vintage wine?

Icky no they don't. Dry and stale.

Imagine all the butts (pun intended) that sat on those packs of cigs.
