I can remember looking through a catalogue of items you could buy with tickets from cigarettes as a kid in the 1990s. It was in the UK, can't remember the brand but I think it might have been Benson and Hedges.
Always loved cigarette branding. Marlboro went from a woman's cigarette to a manly man's smoke without missing a beat.
In the USA, Benson and Hedges played off being a 'sophisticated' product that wouldn't stoop to cheap give-aways.
IIRC Benson & Hedges were the same here.
I might have remembered the brand wrong, I was very young.
