Golden Virginia rolling tobacco use to have "a nice moist shag" written on their packet. That was before student loans and rolling your own had kudos.

Ah yes, thankyou archive department ? With that pretty mundane TV advert - wouldn't have excited me much, but interesting what appears to be a rejig of two "flavours" to three, or did they run together?
