Today I'm happy to have Patrick Phillips with me, author of the upcoming Headstamp book "Tobacco of the Emperor". We are going to look at several aspects of Japanese military tobacco, and a couple particularly interesting surviving examples...

I don't smoke or chew. I have PLANTED, WEEDED, SUCKERED and HARVESTED many tons of tobacco, however. Best paying farm jobs a kid could get around where I grew up... I will NEVER put tobacco in my mouth, I'm intimately aware of where it comes from and what it is like. Yech. NOTHING lives in a tobacco drying barn. Not a mouse or a mosquito. Any insect, reptile, bird or small mammal that goes inside for more than a few minutes DIES.
Um. Why?

The emphasis on personal items reminds me of the collection of short stories by Tim O'Brien, "The Things They Carried" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Things_They_Carried

Ian, should we expect another book - "Tobacco of the French Army During the Interwar Years?
