Johnny Blue 10's Twin Pack

Are these still around does anyone know? They came in after the 10 packs were banned
They were handy in summer time if you just had a pair of jeans and a t shirt on

I think they only brought them in cause they couldn't legally sell 10 packs anymore, so to get rid of the stock they just packaged them together..id say they're all well gone by now.

they got rid of ten packs to it would be too expensive for schoolkids to buy them in packs of 20. naturally johnny blue would of lost a fortune, being the cigarette choice for kids!!!

anyway, Johnny brought out the twin ten packs so 2 kids can go halves on the packs, (theyre good like that)

"the man" put a stop to that twin pack fairly lively!!

Slightly off topic, but does anyone else still ask for 20 Marlboro, 20 JPB, 20 Major etc, even though there is no longer an option of 10 anyway?

It can cause a bit of light confusion, especially with foreign staff who weren't working before the 10s were banned.

I always did it! Never felt right just saying the name on its own!

Yep, always!! I reassure myself its ok because while you cannot by 10 anymore, you certainly can buy 40, 60, 80 etc etc

So asking for 20 is merely providing clarity

Always ask for 20, hasn't been any confusion with shop staff though I sometimes wonder why I specify 20. :pac:
