    Today I feel that I want to start my WWII collection off with some home-made cigarette packages, preferably Lucky Strikes. I found some printable designs here, Graphics Index - Jimbob-Wan's . I plan on cutting out some extra foam I have sitting around then use that as the inside, wrap it with tin-foil, then fold the design/cut out over it.

    If your kinda confused it's exactly like this video. Home made lucky strike cigarette transport carton - YouTube

    This kid makes a ton of homemade rations and I want to too as-well.

    My one question is does anyone know the dimensions of the Lucky Strike cigarette packages, width and height?

    I did have a look for the sizes, odd that the bloke who put up the images to cut out, failed to give the dimensions. now cigarettes were shorter then, so my guess is that they were 70 mm's long. The size of a rizla paper.
