Larks were never really a big seller in the USA, but were popular for awhile because they had

   a charcoal filter...Popular in Asia.

McCartney smoked these when they first came to London.

Did you ever find the answer?

Your poor mother, seeing her daughter being corrupted by a forty year old band.

Like this? Buy Lark cigarettes

Actually I was thinking it would be more fun having a Beatles scavenger hunt. Anyone game?

I'd probably buy a pack purely for the significance!
Though I can just imagine the look on my mum's face when they would arrive in the mail!

Paul's face seems to suffice yet again:

And sounds like fun, Skye!

BAM! Photographic evidence baby!

Man, who would have thought it would hard to figure out?

Well done detective Skye!
You should be our resident private eye.  

WOW!

Now, if only I could track down this brand ...

Man, who would have thought it would hard to figure out?

I don't have the answer to the original question, but Yoko Ono answers questions asked of her via Twitter on Fridays. She selects 20-30 and posts them on the Imagine Peace website, eg http://imaginepeace.com/archives/7703

That's probably the easiest way of finding out what John smoked

Philip Norman claims John chain-smoked Gitanes ciggies. They were "super cool" in the 70s. French ciggies. He-who-should-not-be-mentioned claims in his "book" that John smoked Gauloise, another brand of trendy French ciggies.

It would be interesting if Yoko did answer this question... my vote goes with Norman.

That's probably the easiest way of finding out what John smoked, though she may not pick your q - she ignored mine, about a bit in the 1970 Rolling Stone interview where she said she was planning to record an album of Lennon-McCartney songs; I asked if anything was ever recorded. I'd love to know the answer.

Other than that her Twitter account is pretty ...]]> Sun, 14 Feb 2010 22:04:49 +0000 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/yesterday-and-today/have-a-ciggie-luv/#p1326 Yesterday... and today http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/yesterday-and-today/have-a-ciggie-luv/#p1326 That video made me grin like a maniac, but then I took back my smile; those very things ended a brilliant man's life much too early. "Promoting" his death, basically.

But the sense of humour these guys had is a gas

Love the pants, John.
