Don't open the pack, nor put one in your mouth and light matches near the end furthest away from you when inhaling....just trying to be funny, keep them as you would any other collectible, away from direct sunlight and moisture...I have some German cigs stashed away, and just have them in a box protected. They tasted awful even when fresh , as the Germans always preferred American and English cigarettes over most of their own brands during the war. I see sepp Dietrich worked for a tobacco company before joining the SS.
Those came from the hotel in Hamburg as perks likely for renting a room...also a waldorf Astoria collectible.....Nazi period but what year? Civilian complementary package I would assume. Oops too late on opening the package...these may be higher quality than regular run of the mill cigarettes...nice scoop, where were they found?

Thanks Juoneen

Not sure where they were found I bought them off a collector.

I work for the hotel group that includes the Waldorf Astoria brand so I had to have them !

Hi,

Keep them in a cool, dark place - maybe a drawer or wardrobe, and all should be well.
I bought a box of TR matches recently, and my wife used them to light her cigarettes when her lighter stopped working!
Hope her supply of cigarettes is OK, I have a few packs of TR cigarettes in the house and she may attempt to smoke them!
By the way, all the matches worked a bit more expensive than modern matches though!

Best wishes,

John.

Keep them away from moisture. I have WWI tobacco packs and WWII cigarettes etc. as long as they stay dry it will preserve.
