Anyone know where I can get a box, preferably the park lanes, of the original RJs before they switched to the RJ Gold blend??

Not unless you can find someone that has had a box or two stashed away for several years.

Man, I looked everywhere a couple of months ago and couldn't find any myself. I picked up a couple last July when we were in Jamiaca for my wife's birthday and laid them down to rest. Pulled them out of the humi on her birthday this year and fired them up. I wasn't expecting much but I have to admit that they were pretty good, enough so to make me look for some. But I had no luck either. Let me know if you find any. I believe I had the #2 tubo. A unique mix of spice and sweetness.

Mmmmm, I haven't had an original Park Lane in years.
The last one I had I gave to my wife's boss' husband. She put it in a company mail envelope. (Remember the Park Lane was wrapped in tissue?)
The boss called my wife and wanted to know why she had sent a tampon to her!

If you find some originals please post where you found them. I miss that bethune taste.

rizzle...nice. So are they still in production in Jamaica? I thought the unions put the kibosh on that...good call on the sweet/spice. For me, they were the perfect summer gar.

Tio..all I can say is:r:D

You're looking for Royal Jamaican Park Lanes right?

Not R&J's....right?

No idea bro. Like I said, I searched the internet forever trying to find info and there just isn't much. I don't know if they are still made or not. All I know is they had them for sale when I was in Jamaica last year.

The original RJ has been gone for some time now. I highly doubt any retailer has them for sale.

It would be a great score if you found some

I've emailed CI and JR. No luck. Maybe I would get a better response if I called. Thanks!
