Ah, Jen, I remember the little flat plastic boxes of chocolate cigarettes
and the little cardboard boxes of sugar-candy-type cigarettes.  Personally,
I'd go for the chocolate ones...even if they are milk chocolate. <Grin> And
the big chocolate cigars with the plastic filter on the end...those were so
cool, too.

I remember one time my father called me over to him and stuck a plastic
filter in my mouth telling me he had a chocolate cigar for me.  Well, it
weren't no chocolate one...and it was lighted, and I inhaled and dashed
choking for the bathroom for water.  :-)

I have on my desk a candy necklace and a candy passifier, too.  Talk about
retro!

Cheers, and good memories!

Lee :-)
