Mr.Andrew, the cigarette collector in Taiwan showed me his 3D graphic art and it was beautiful!
I'm preparing the next parcel of cigarettes for him. There's no problem with "KOOL", "KENT", "Lark" and "MILDSEVEN" brands but I'm still not successful with "Uruma".
As he knows it's not an easy mission, some brands are out of stock even in the Internet tobacco stores_Living Shop Ando in Sagamihara, Sakuranbo in Umeda, etc. Some brands are shown that they are out of stock at the moment,
for some others, an error message telling that they are out of stock after I put them in a shopping cart.
A box of 2,500 PPC paper just arrived. 2,535Yen including carriage, a little expensive. I need a lot of paper for my work...
The quality is 64gram neutral. I put 1 sheet on a test with my EPSON Laser and output was fine. Anyway, I don't want to buy such heavy materials in a shop and carry it by myself. What I smoked yesterday Cigarette COBRA non-filter: 2cig
Very beautiful! This is only a part of his collection. "CHERRY" is a brand of Japan, sold since 15 Mar. 1970. This is the first "American blend" cigarette in Japan.
My new friend in Italy sent me 30 empty/flattened boxes. Thank you!

and joint FDC of Indonesia-China. I don't collect Indonesia but I collect PRO China! I like them, I want them:-)
What I smoked yesterday Cigarette CAMEL NUTTY MENTHOL: 3 cig
My friend's friend who sent me an FDC of bat's stamp of Austria(please see the blog of 26 Apr.) is also an ATM collector and told me he wants a full set of the ATM of Japan.
50Yen, 80Yen, 90Yen, 120Yen and 270Yen are available from the vending machine but 130Yen face value is no longer available.
I bought it from a dealer in Hiroshima(2,100Yen) and now, completely ready to send him a cover by registered mail: 110Yen for Japan to Europe + 410Yen for registered mail = 520Yen. I have to wait for the next Monday when post office opens as we are in the middle of a long holidays from the end of April to 5 May.We call this holiday week "Golden week".

This is only a part of his collection. He has more than 30,000 in his collection.

(c)Andrew S. Chen He says in his website_"cigarette packs is a part of history".
I received mails from 2 collectors-from Brazil and Italy- and busy to make the cigarette packs empty. It takes time as I don't smoke a lot in a day.
I'm going to send an ATM cover to my friend's friend who sent me a bat FDC on 20 Apr. I asked for 130Yen face value to several dealers and it was available in 2,100Yen. 110Yen for Japan to Europe + 410Yen for registered mail=520Yen.
