<p>[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 243182, member: 121"]They came about when the standard packaging for cigarettes devolved to a packet of twenty. Previously you could buy them in different quantities. I remember my mother opening a box of one-hundred and distributing them in holders and boxes before cocktail parties. I used to buy Dunhills, Rothmans, and custom Mat Shermans in boxes of fifty. THAT was why you needed a case..........and yeah, I have been known to fill my empty case from some momentarily absent hostess's cigarette box.............[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
