Brought to the United States by Deputy Counsel William C. Affeld, Jr. from his post in Kobe on the final ship to leave Japan before the commencement of World War ii. Counsel Affeld smoked Lucky Stikes and Camels. While attempting to quit smoking, he saved these as an spare or “emergency” pack. 

Cigarettes have traditionally been considered a part of the workplace, even entering into the vocabulary when referring to our “breaks”.
