Spaghetti Western Trivia ~ Death Cigarettes

American actor Charles Southwood co-founded the The Enlightened Tobacco Company in 1991, Entrepreneur BJ Cunningham, which packaged its own brand of cigarettes “Death Cigarettes” in a little black package containing a skull and crossbones. Southwood had smoked for 27 years before quitting and said he wanted to deliver truth in advertising. Southwood handled the American Market and of course, getting Death Cigarettes to market was no small feat, he told the Los Angeles Times.
