Cigarette "KOMET"

Komet (Comet) as graphical label on a cigarette pack.
From Malang, East Java, Indonesia.

Yield Cigarettes

Forget about the "macho, cowboy, adventure, and freedom-impression" of Marlboro. Forget also another kind of Camel, Pall Mall, Lucky Strike, Ardath, e.t.c. which suggests an adventure for the smoker. 


May I introduce you, Yield Cigarettes!
Ngalah (Javanese) means: yield, give up.
Rokok Dari Idola (Indonesian) means: Idol's Cigarettes; abbreviated to RDI.
Kretek (Javanese) means: no filter.


I do not know for sure what the intent of the manufacturer of this cigarettes. Why made a cigarettes to give the impression of: yield, loose, or give up? What's the reason? What is so interesting from the "loser"? Idol is supposed to be the winners not losers? 

BMW for Cigarette

Don't be so silly. This is NOR one of the BMW automobile products or Bayerische Motoren Werke new inovations. This is ONLY a product of home industry based in Malang, East Java, Indonesia. A cigarette pack.
I don't know how or why this cigarette named BMW? B-M maybe for Bintang Mas (means: golden star) that written on this pack, but W for what? If you see carefully not only the name that similar to Bayerische Motoren Werke, but the logotype too.

Corn for cigars

Corn (and paddy) for cigarette label's. What's the relation between corn and paddy with cigars?
The cornfield was beside to the tobacco fields? The owner was so rich that he has cornfield, paddy field and tobacco field? Or there were many personal reason that we do not have to be explained.
"NASERUN" (do you see the lettering? uh) probably was the owner of this home industry.

djagung (indonesian) : corn
padi (indonesian) : paddy
sigarete kretek : blank cigars without filter.

"Safe" Cigarette Label

Cigarette-pack label named "SAFE".
The important question for this label was: "With 33.8 mg tar and 1.8 nicotine is it really s-a-f-e?" "And safe from what?" "Safe for whom?"
Anyway, this kind of cigarette was so popular in Malang, especially in lower community.
Produced by PT. UTAMA MAMA (indonesian) means: the very best mother, a home industy, only for local distribution.
As we know, a good mother will not produce a pack of cigarettes named SAFE that higienically proven isn't safe.
