WWII "J◊B" brand German cigarettes and Wehrmacht issue pipe
Underneath the white paper seal, somebody carefully opened the red paper packaging and peaked inside. The yellow seal underneath ("original fabrik verschluss" = original factory lock or fastener) is also carefully cut. None of the cigarettes are missing and the packaging is fully intact. This could have occurred any time over the past 79 years, so I am not too worried. I am very tempted to rehydrate the cigarettes using a slice of apple in a plastic bag and smoke some, but I will resist the temptation (for now).
"20 Schwarze Cigaretten" = 20 Black Cigarettes
Stasbourg (Germ; Strassburg) is actually just across the border in France, so I am assuming a German occupied plant produced these cigarettes. Very interesting, and would have been considered high grade cigarettes.
A google search revealed that "JOB" was an established company in France producing tobacco and tobacco paper products:
"JOB is a brand of cigarette paper and a cigarette brand founded in 1849 by Jean Bardou and the Journet family, then taken over by his son Pierre Bardou. Today it is a brand of Republic Technologies, which is part of Republic Tobacco, an international group based in Chicago, USA."
