I seem to remember that the old style Russian cigarettes (with the long cardboard tube) were called papirosi. An advertising flyer or a wrapper? Report this Post to the Staff

Lyy99 New Member Finland 11 Posts	Posted 08/01/2013 3:17 pm Image is right. So this is from late 1800 or early 1900? Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 08/02/2013 02:35 am The machinery to mass produce the papirosi was developed around 1860 and was indeed heavily concentrated in St. Petersburg. So anytime between 1860 and 1917. Report this Post to the Staff
