2) A High School friend's father smoked Fatimas in the
sixties. He ordered them special from a local news stand.
They were king size non-filters. Had aromatic tobacco. Made
by Liggett and Myers. I always thought of them as unfiltered
L&Ms. I also recall they had a distinctive pack. Seems as
though it was a picture of an arabian princess, Fatima
herself I suppose, veiled in smoke.
