One thing that struck me in the book was the constant use of the word "tailormades" to refer to cigarettes that we now take for granted - that is, cigarrettes that are already pre-rolled and packaged 20 to a pack. Back in 1941, many soldiers in the service couldn't afford the "tailormades" and rolled their own.

I just think it's ironic because we seem to have come full-circle. For the "tailormades" have become so expensive due to oppressive taxes that even the affluent have taken to rolling their own again.

Actually with the cigarette making machines now they can roll really good ones. There was a thread here once about that.

BTW, I just started reading a book by the same guy who wrote Watership Down, Adams. This book is called Traveller and is about Robert E. Lee's horse of the same name and told from its point of view. So far the book seems really terrific and it would probably make a great cartoon movie.
