Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Cigarette Vending Machines?

I haven't seen one in over sixty years.[email][/email]

I used to fill those machines back in the ‘80s.

Easiest way to get cigs when a kid.

Always expensive, but worth it for a kid that wasn't old enough to drive.

A pack of Winstons and a book of matches 35cents.

Very collectible now.

Always at the front door of the Shoney’s…

I remember 50 cents...

Gas station had one back in early 70s

Does Texasbatman lose his shît over another mindless, inane thread??

Only the bat will tell.

Oh…but he sucks wabigoon’s ass, they pray together.

I remember my Uncle, who was 10 years older than me, giving me a dollar for riding my Schwinn Stingray Bicycle down to the corner Fina Gas Station to pick him up two packs of Marlboros from the machine.

They were .35 cents a pack. I would have enough change left over for a Dr Pepper, a Hersey Bar, and a pack or 2 of Planter’s Salted Peanuts from the other vending machines.

This would have been in 1968, the year he joined the Marines and headed off to Vietnam. I was 8 at the time.

This could be a Friday Night Music Thread

The local Red lobster had one until around 1990 or so lol.

A place we used to drink when we were underage had one of these in the entry way between the restaurant and bar side of the building. Early/Mid 90s.

A local Italian restaurant a few blocks down from my high school had one of those in the mid 90’s. $3 a pack at that time. We’d stop in after school. They probably did more business selling cigarettes than food. They were fairly common at that time but the one in the restaurant near our school sold a lot.

My buddies dad used to give us a note with permission to buy him cigarettes and let us keep the change for pops. Ten year old kids riding our bikes down to the party store a mile or so away with a hand written note to buy Marlboro’s😂

I remember a Disney cartoon where Donald Duck catches his nephews smoking cigars so he forces them to smoke the whole box until they’re sick in order to teach them a lesson. Definitely a different world at that time.

I bought smokes out of a vending machine in Germany about five years ago.

Dey be one at de danzehall

my favorite local bar that happens to make the best hamburgers in town has one in the arctic entryway still.

I remember buying Marvels for $0.20 per pack at the local theater. That's a long time ago.

From what I hear it takes a lot of quarters to buy a pack these days.... the only people who could pull it off are the guys who used to carry rolls of quarters in their pockets for bar fights....
