Hi guys,
I am looking for some Arrco Tahoes Back no.9 and Aristocrats 727 Linen Finish #1. Anyone willing to sell them please pm me. Thanks |

You'll have better luck trolling e-bay or posting on a forum like the Dan and Dave forum, which is chocked full of affluent young card collectors. As far as the Tahoes go, be prepared to shell out $100+ for a pack.
I picked some up at a magic swap meet here in Dallas for $5 a deck a long time ago, and I'll be very honest in saying that they have not held up to age well; they're almost unusable, even the foil-wrapped ones that collectors like. |

As Chris has said, just about the only place that I think you'll find these quite regularly for sale is via ebaY. I picked up a number of packs a few years back - in my preferred Bridge size.
Recently, 2 packs of sealed Aristocrats (poker size) went for around $200. Personally, I'd never pay this when there are much more important things in life - beer and cigarettes to name just two.

I just recently sold the sealed decks, as above, I had. I have some open decks, a few of the Tahoes are gaffed cards. Interested? Email to my personal email address (first one listed under this post) if you are. HL.

Do you see any advantages to plain white filters over the light brown? Do you think 100's are better smokes than the regular, shorter, cigs? Is the tobacco (that you can see at the end of the cigarette) lighter brown or darker brown? I think lighter brown is better. How does your brand of cigarettes feel between your fingers? Now, about the beer... :)

QUALITY!
I smoke Marlboro but I've noticed recently that the shade of red on the packet is slightly darker than it used to be. Also, I really hate the packets now that they carry a UK Govt. Health Warning - the old box design was definitely better. I prefer light brown filters as white filters are usually in menthol cigs and these are a bit 'girly' - and you'd never see a true professional smoker puffing away on these. I normally buy my cigs in a brick of 200 and shop around so that I too can get the lighter shade of tobacco as it burns 1 milisecond slower. I've also noticed that the cig ends are not as smooth as they used to be - I'm finding a pack of 20 quite impossible to faro these days! I've also noticed recently that the polythene wrap is quite loose and the silver tear off paper inside tends to warp in high humidity. Does Joe Porper sell a cigarette guard to keep them flat - only I normally bend them a bit when I put them in my back pocket and fall into the cab pi*sed at the end of the night.
