Dad used to smoke Kensitas and I remember him counting his coupons.

I used to smoke Guards and I got a set of hock glasses with coloured stems with them. i still have one left today which I keep for sentimental reasons.

I think that I also have a set of place mats with pictures of coldstream guards on them as well
