Some kinda transition

Hi, readers and friends! First and foremost I'd like to explain the absence of the bLoGs I was supposed to post -  the contrabands. 

Well, of course something did happened and it was a very frustrating situation! 
My old Dual Core powered desktop's SATA 1 hard disk suddenly went kaput! 
Missing in action! It just don't wanna read, cannot be found! 
I tried all else and it's not working! 
The 2nd. IDE Western D that's still working had most of other 
 files transfered out. 

Actually I've had my new 500Gb Seagate USB pocket drive 
that's been backing up most of the files. 
In the midst of doing that, it just happened! 
And worst is most of the latest of the contrabands ciggy boxes 
pix were all in there! So, I was stuck untill now. 

It is quite tedious to get things right on the time and arrangement all that, 
so I had a hard time. Reshooting them is also not feasible coz then I'll have to dig all of them out from the storage boxes! I'll sneeze! 

Well, ok, what best thing I can do is get back to the normal usual bLoG 
and try keeping up with the "TiMeLiNe" as much as possible.
Thanks very much for your patience! 
Hope to see you soon! 

Storing up the banner that'll soon be replaced.

Olive Green in Australia

This year, Australia got togher with cigarette companies 
ans has started to join the world tp reduce smoking. 
It is enforcing the ruling of deterrent graphics on cigarette packs 
to deter smokers.

The Australian government also unveiled it's plan to force big tobacco companies to use plain packaging for cigarettes despite the threat of industry legal actions. 

It seems that by next year, all logos will have to be dropped, removed from the box.
Olive green was picked as researchers found that this color would deter smokers from smoking. 
It was reported that each year about 15,000 Australians die of diseases related to smoking. 
This cause has cost the lost of over A$30 billion in healthcare and productivity.

More nations around the world will keep on tackling this prevention 
but, will the smoking industry simmer down?
Well, we'll see then. They should quit the companies and not the smokers quitting!

Fisher Red

As my hunt for this one and only Red Full filters goes in vain, 
( reason that it's being stocked up somewhere in one of those boxes )
and the search that was really been frustrating, I will cut short the time. 
In order to fight lost TiME, I'll have to close up FISHER month 
with the posted banner that shows the red filters box standing upfront. 
Pardon me but it's in there! ;-D 
With this, I'll continue the numerous contrabands for the rest of 2011, 
hopefully with great speed! Trying to catch up LOST time really! 
Will be seeing you soon!

Fisher GOLD

As I have had some hard time hunting from my stock pile
on that one and only red box of FISHER, I think I'll
post this GOLD red filters for now.
It's the complete collection, together with the warning tex packst.
Probably there might have the packs with graphics.
But until then and when I dig out the whereabouts of the red box, 
this is it for now. Hope you eNjOy the view!

Fisher blues

I got the first pack of Fisher lights blue box 
when i migrated up north to The Pearl of Orient, Penang Island. 
It seems that you could find this contraband all around town 
and even at the most remote village where I dwell!
The pix on the left is the 100's King Size, 
that comes in soft packs looks like the Rothmans King size. 
The standard 20's hard pack is on the right. 
The following is the complete carton of softpack King size 100's.
And this is the blue 20's hard box set.
Close up view of the carton box that indicates it is from USA.
I'll be arranging  some shots of the other blends later 
as what I have in my archive now are in smaller pixel! 
I probably might have made some focus change without realizing. 
So, I'll be seeing you soon!
