Back when they had cigarette vending machines…….yes, I’m that old.

Rules
View attachment 8410842
Across the river from the Cincinnati Reds baseball stadium is a bar/club that still has a cigarette vending machine in it. The pull handle style.
We usually use a parking lot by there and have a beer there before catching the ferry across the river to watch the game.
 
I’ll happily visit Austria again. Beautiful country. I also want to visit Australia and see @Barneybdb, but I’m not flush and need to save up for those things.
You will be well looked after if you came to visit mate, I too have fond memories of my trips to Austria, and some very fuzzy ones.

When I was in 5th and 6th grade, one of the pull type machines was outside of a small grocery store that mostly sold beer a few blocks from where we lived. One of the handles would pull and dispense a pack of pall-mall reds without having to insert quarters. (and only quarters were acceptable) My brother and I kept this a close secret for quite some time. We were careful to only get a pack once in a while so the vending machine guy wouldn't find that empty slot and be missing some quarters. We were the 2 cool guys that always had smoke to share (or not) with our friends (or not). Then, one day, that slot was empty and never had cigarettes in it again.

Edit to say: we were still the cool guys

The ones I remember worked on quarters, cigs were 1.25 a pack in them. Yours must be a new modern type that takes bills or cards ? Chase aren't packs now like 15$ each now ? That's a lot of quarters.... Lol
