Melachrino Cigarettes celebrated their 50th anniversary in 1929 with a dandy offer for smokers. Two boxes of Melachrino No. 9 were given free when a flat 50 tin was purchased. This special offer came packaged in an elegant gold cardboard box. Melachrino Cigarettes were originally manufactured in Cairo by Mr. Miltiades Melachrino. This Egyptian style cigarette was made from the finest Turkish tobacco, and became famed throughout the world with some help from the British Army. When soldiers that had been stationed in Egypt were transferred to posts around the globe, their enchantment with Melachrino was far-flung. Pictured below is a July 1929 magazine ad that mentions the Golden Jubilee box, plus scans of the box lid and contents.
