So I see, now that I’ve gone searching for it. I’ve never seen these in person in my life. But purportedly you can still buy them. Weird.

Apparently I had either consumed too little or too much coffee for my brain to be functioning correctly yesterday. My main hangup was that I was trying to figure out how the heck an odd and indivisible by 3 number of cigarettes would be packaged in a rectangular carton like that. Today I’m a little smarter; The answer is a row of 8, a row of 9, and another row of 8. This puts the wide row in the middle which is the opposite of how a typical 20 pack is arranged. I wonder if these are less popular because the two stragglers on the ends tend to get flattened.
