"Min norskavlede Tobakk" means "My Norwegian-grown tobacco".
It was produced in Norway 1940-45, and it tastes horrible! Of course... Norway may be the land of the midnight sun, but the tobacco growing conditions aren't really optimal here, hehe...
I bought it at a secondhand store for its "antique" value, but I have smoked it a few times when I was desperate - the last time I did it because I had no e-liquid left - what an amateur!

While stationed at Da Nang, RVN, in '67, I got a C-ration with da ol' dark green and red Lucky Strike 4 cig pack. Lit one and it was like lighting a fast fuse!

Had I known then what I know now, I would not have opened dat pack and made a enough to buy a primo PV today...

At ebay you can buy one from 1942 for $199.99. Dammit!

My WWII tobacco is worth only $40, but I paid almost nothing for mine. I wonder how it tasted before it went vintage. I guess it doesn't mature the same way as wine :p
