Once upon a time it was considered good manners for a host to offer his guests a smoke. This custom extended to the President of the United States. Each President, from John Kennedy to Ronald Reagan, gave his guests a very special pack of cigarettes.
The earliest versions were nothing more than a standard pack with a presidential seal insert card placed under the cellophane, and each of the major manufacturers provided these to the government. It's not unusual to find Camel, Lark, Pall Mall, Viceroy or other popular brands with one of these presidential seal inserts, as many were kept as souvenirs.

I found a reagan presidential cigarettes box... the second from the left in the photo... in pretty much mint condition. do you know its value? does anybody know?
I saw one on ebay going for $40. My dad collected specialty cigarette boxes and he has one, too. The wrapper is still on it. I'll hold on to it until it's worth something.
These boxes are quite expensive. I will post this article https://justbuyessay.com/blog/online-essay-writing-services here now. Okay?
