[QUOTE="Bullwinkle, post: 374070, member: 1096"] LZ English ('69-71). (a small blimp on the map compared to saigon) The PX had basically your avg OTC selection of pipe tobacco, machine make cigars (dutch masters, swisher sweet, etc) cigs limited to 2 cartons a month (ration card). cigs became as good as cash (remember cash was not us dollars but gov funny money). same as booze (again rationed plus you had to be non-com) e-5 at Army PX's and e-4 at Air Force bases. as far as out in the field you hauled what you could, mysteriously cartons of cigs would appear same with beer or you were too busy and too wet to worry about a smoke.
