Best cigarettes in the world! Awsome taste
I read on Wikipedia that Omar Sharif used to smoke 50 cigarettes a day until he had a triple bypass surgery in 1992.
Is him Omar Sharif?
I do agree. Radio ads for cigarettes are also not aired
Walt Disney used to smoke this brand.
omar shariff dude..smoke those gitanes man!
I think it is!
I did not know the French grew tobacco. Tobacco is not grown in France, is it?
Gitanes isn’t made from Turkish tobaccos, it is made from a reserved rare french typeof tobacco, caporal, also named “black tobacco”. it is highly stronger than any blonde cigarette like Marlboro, Camel etc…
Hm, good thing I smoke *Indonesian* cigarettes, then.
well they’re made from Turkish tobacco you see, much stronger than what American cigarettes are made out of which is Virginia
the one thing that you cannot get in this country since 1971, cigarette TV ad
I like those smokes man !
Yes: It is Omar Sharif.
Dude, is that Omar Sharief??
Oh my gawd, those are the most foul cigarettes imaginable! I bought a pack once, once, cos I know a woman named Gitane and it seemed novel. If you ever smoke even *one* Gitane cigarette, *you WILL remember it!!*
Just seeing the pack at the start of this commercial brought back the memory of the taste and smell of those things. I can’t even imagine what compelled me to watch this video.
