  • So close

    This is a Monte 4 that Tommy has just bought in Australia with its compulsory band, this is what we might have had had the attempt to make us have plain packaging succeeded.

    Is there any embossing?

    But seriously, WTF! It still says what it is and where it's from. Seems a bit of a futile and no doubt costly exercise which probably contributes to the retail/consumer price

        Well, depending on how judicious the glue-boy was, at least there's a chance you could peel the buggers off

                The above but also, peer pressure! As much as you guys are clearly pressuring me (Ha!) its definitely the pretty labels that seal the deal!

                  If I remember correctly, the gov. actually did a few tests of which colours were the least attractive to man. They came up with this hideous brown that they believed to be too hideous so they added a small amount of green to it to make it a bit more bearable.
                  That was the inception of the colour of plain packaging.

                  Always a weird one when seen in person. You're really taken aback!

                    It's just Brown/Green Jezza, don't get emotionally scarred or anything.

                      I had heard they had done that as well

                      I know cigars have been exempted from plain packaging in the UK, but I still despise the idea of introducing it for cigarettes (even though I don't smoke them)

                        Just wait to see what they do with Behike and double banders.
                        If you want to, you can.
                        And, if you can, you must!

                          Maybe we'll be looking a a fonseca or cedros style revolution if that happens with the nice bands underneath. I wouldn't mind that so much.

                            I hate all this "nanny state" stuff so much. Why can't they just leave people to make their own decisions and decide what risks they want to take??

                            Same sort of thing with this ridiculous sugar tax suggestion here.

                              I suppose that would only be for singles sold in shops , if you purchased on line or a sealed box surely they'd normal
