@@mattyboi7491 I know you wrote this comment 4 years ago but... If you only smoked very old cigarettes, their rarity would mean that you'd struggle to smoke enough to develop tobacco dependence. Obviously, it would still come down to your will power to not smoke habitually. Which means, if you could do that, you might as well just rarely smoke regular cigarettes.
Dude, this guy should literally sit on stage and open these things in front of people. I don't know what it is about this guy, but his voice/tone, etc. it has some unintended humor. He is a bit of a weirsh, but an enjoyable one
Haven't smoked in 10 years or so. Seeing you hit an unfiltered cig without coughing after you had quit for a while is impressive and crazy. I would of coughed for about a week. Thanks for sharing.
Better quality tobacco back then. No herbicide, fungicide, vermicide, radioactive fertiliser, laundry list of additives including rat poison, no FSC compliant self extinguishing paper (carpet glue). Cigarettes now compared to then are not remotely the same. All that above can constitute ~30% of the weight of a cigarette. Scary.
There's a part of your brain that never forgets cigarettes....like riding a bike. The Nicotine Buzz.....your heart rate just went up, along with your Systolic blood pressure. Paradoxically, your Central Nervous System just went into 'Calm and Focused' mode.....just the sort of thing a cold, scared and lonely soldier needs....steady the nerves. That's why you need water proof matches. If you think a smoke will 'steady you up' and you can't get a light......
Meanwhile, in 1951: In 2016 there will be flying cars, laser rifles, and working fully humanoid robots! Later, in 2016: We're here reviewing a 1951 Korean ration...
Holy cow, that thing was amazingly preserved! It wasn't so much like opening a time capsule as it was like opening up a time machine! I really can't believe that the gum was not only fresh-tasting, but soft! It's funny to think that technology has advanced so much over the past half-century, but an old tin can is still such an effective way to keep food and materials fresh. We've seen how bad MREs can be after "only" 30 years. It's incredible to think this thing is more than TWICE that age. Sure the coffee is a mess, but when you opened that can it looked like it had just been packed yesterday--no stains, leaks, nasty smells... I know this was just an accessory unit and that an actual food component (like Spaghetti or Pork & Beans or whatever) would have most certainly been bad if it were that old, but it doesn't take anything away from the amazingness of the condition that this stuff retained for all these decades. Thank you for sharing the experience with us Steve!
I've been getting around to watching ALL of your videos (they're all great). It's just taking me a while to find the time to get through them, especially since you've been doing such a good job of cranking them out quickly. I've never smoked, but it was actually enjoyable sharing the experience of that Chesterfield through the video. It was obvious that you were REALLY enjoying it!
+Steve1989 MREinfo I havn't checked, but do you perhaps ebay individual cigs?! I'm from UK and would really like to smoke a vintage non filter Chesterfield! Like you I am a non smoker (15yrs) Steve... Love your vids mate
In 1971 I received my 'C' rations in Vietnam made the same Year of my birth ! (1950) At 20 years of age......I thought I had old Cigs and Food ! Thanks for the Memory....P.S. The coffee is like a blog of Tar, But..Water and a small of burning 'C-4' from a Claymore Mine will make you a Cup of Hot Coffee !
Try smoking a pipe for the first time. Don't smoke Dunhill Nightcap. It'll hit you like a ton of bricks if you're a nonsmoker, and it'll knock your socks off if you're a cigarette smoker.
Watched the first of these with the Vietnam era MCI and can't get enough. This guy is hilarious, probably unintentionally, which is what makes it side-splitting. Not laughing at you but with you. Great.
It's really only about 15 cents worth of tat and a pack of coffin nails, but I can imagine how welcome it was and what an event it was to open one for guys going through pretty much hell on earth. A cup of coffee, some gum, a smoke and a good dump and you could almost believe you were going to make it home one day.
My grandpa (before he died) had 100 packs of these from his time in Korea, and he let me try one. Damn, they tasted good. My brother smokes Marlboro and he let me try them, they tasted like ass.
Maaaan ... after not smoking for a while and then smoking an UNFILTERED 65 YEAR OLD CHESTERFIELD? Jesus Steve no wonder you got the nicotine sweats/sickness!
Lmao, this channel a guilty pleasure fo yours, Lola? I really found it supe super interesting to see him straight up smoke the cigarette, and be excited about it Haha.
Hey Steve! My dad served in Korea during the war and we had a great time watching this! These are indeed very rare as he said they only issued his unit SURPLUS WW2 K Rations out in the field - he never saw this one (normal mess hall on base when not out on patrol). His friends in other units coveted their 5-man ration boxes similar to what you had in another video. Interestingly on the 5-man ration you cracked open - he said the bread was about the same color he remembered for a barley (?) bread.
I'd want to try a 65-year old cigarette; that stuff is still gonna be risky, but it probably has much better flavour than what I'd imagine a cigarette today would taste like
I only smoke outside, I almost feel like it is wasted if you don't smoke outside. Like on a nice cool night, looking into the stars, with a nice cigar in your hand.
Did you know you can open a soft pack on only one side for easy access by peeling back the foil on the side you favor. This also keeps them all from coming out when you want just one.. I hadn't thought about this in 30 years.. Love your passion my friend!
My Dad was in Korea '51-' 52, and I'm sure this the ration he got. I wish he was still around. He said it was so cold (20-30 degrees below 0) even guys who didn't smoke, smoked because it kept them warm. Thanks.
My dad fought in Korea during the first year of the war. After he got out of the Army he refused to eat anything powdered. His all time hatred of powdered eggs was epic. He used to talk about how they would also get a ration of Pabst Blue Ribbon 🍺. Three whole cans a week. He also swore that their rations were left over from WW2.
This was before they learned to make the modern cigarette with all the chemicals. Had to have been an incredible experience. As a kid, my grandfather had allot of the old rations with the 4 pack. He had several cases. I enjoyed those old cigarettes. This was around 1976. Good stuff. This video brought back memories of that. Thank you.
Hell, if you were working on 30+ hours without more than a few minutes with your eyes closed, in a place where you need to stay alert to live and could die at any moment anyway...you'd be like "Gimmie a smoke"
I quit smoking ciggs 4 years ago, and to this day I miss it. The sweet smell of tabacco. The sweet pungent smell of the smoke. I'm in my 30's and I tell myself that maybe a few years before I know i'm going to go like 30 or 40 years from now if i'm still alive, I'll smoke at least 3 or 4 everyday till I pass. Hopefully they are not illegal by then. Fuck it, even if they are, I'll just buy it illegally, legality never stopped me from buying weed, lol.
AwesomeRepix I smoke Chesterfield too the menthol one's. They're very popular here in the philippines. Out of all the menthol's i've smoked chester's are the smoothest out of the bunch. I used to smoke marlboro regular reds then switched to a couple of different menthol brands until i tried chesterfields and sticked with them.
They were the BEST cigarettes. The only cigarettes I ever enjoyed with some regularity. Was always so shocked at how mellow they were being unfiltered. They disappeared in the US market early 2000s. Thanks for posting.
Sam Jones I get what he meant. A very strong unfiltered cigarette especially to a non smoker does in essence briefly give you a high. You’re light headed, you sweat, your heart rate goes up, and you feel pretty out of it.
Steve, I love how every time you smoke you really endure the feeling of the cigarette it is really funny and I love watching all of your videos. please keep it up for everyone out there really liking your videos. I always dreamed of being a guy like you, not a smoker, but a youtuber and an mre tester and i hope to come out to be a guy like you if you read this comment I wouldn't be surprised because it is very long if you are reading this then thank you for all the content and for reading my comment.
Middle of the night camping with my girlfriend and she's smoking the cigarette she's saved for about a year, I can only think of Mr. "only smoke ration cigs" himself lol
As a kid in 1957,my buddies and I would vie to see who got the "C" rats from the surplus store with "ciggies" in them. UK Vietnam era rations had English oval style cigs in them.
@@johnw1954 Some higher end unfiltered cigarettes had a flatter "oval shape". I don't think they're made any more. Philip Morris English Ovals were the most popular in the US until they were discontinued 7 years ago.
Chesterfield cigarettes is currently owned and manufactured by Altria. The brand was named after Chesterfield County, Virginia. They manufacture the cigarettes in Henrico County, VA. Aged fine like wine!
+Steve1989 MREinfo Hey man, hope you didn't fall back into it. I liked this video, but I know how hard it can be being addicted to something. Stay straight!
I could watch this man smoke vintage cigarettes and hear him talk about them for hours. Glad you kicked the habit man! But I enjoy that you still smoke these just to experience the ration in its entirety.
Autumn 1974 my USMC platoon was on an overnight field maneuver at Quantico. Evening chow was 1953 dated cans. The food items ( ham & lima beans, beef stew, date nut cake, etc.) were still edible. The company 1st Sgt. scooped up all the cigarettes as the accessory pack cans were opened. The newbies like me were not amused.
I really wish they still made cigarettes like that, paper and tobacco. Not the fucking cancer sticks we have now. I joined the vape Naysh and won't ever look back, but if I found someone making old school cigarettes...
BetrayedColt there are about 5000 chemicals that are used in the production of cigarettes. Used to be paper, and dried tobacco. Still not good for you, but not nearly as bad.
yeah those " chemicals" have always been there. They are BYPRODUCTS of the paper, ashesive and of course tobacco burning. They don't "add" harmful chemicals.
Steve is literally the greatest RUclipsr EVER. Ive NEVER seen anyone enjoy anything as much as Steve enjoyed that old cigarette. I was in tears and my ribs hurt from laughing when he would be in the middle of talking and all of a sudden a random "Ohhh yeaaahhh im feeling that" or "Im glad im already sitting down". Hahahaha Steve is a treasure. P.S Boy i almost feel like saving that. THATS RIDICULOUS, Im not gonna save that.. Prolly gonna save it 😅😂
Thanks for your videos, I really enjoyed this one...even as a non-smoker. I completely agree with your idea that cigs should be included in rations today. Even though the number of non-smokers might lead most people to think otherwise the fact is that the non smokers would be able to trade their cigarette rations (in some countries 2-4 cigarettes would get you an meal twice as nutritious as any MRE).

They were the BEST cigarettes. The only cigarettes I ever enjoyed with some regularity. Was always so shocked at how mellow they were being unfiltered. They disappeared in the US market early 2000s. Thanks for posting.
Chesterfields are still widely available in the UK.
In South Africa as well
They're back in the U.S., but only filters.
The cigarette review is absolutely outrageously great
Back in the 1950's, grocery stores usually had sample packs with 4 cigarettes of most brands that were given away free.
Mom: what are you doing
Me: watching a man smoke a 65 year old ciggaret and getting high also he is eating some gum
Mom: son give me your phone
getting high of a cig? you need urgent assistance
Sam Jones I get what he meant. A very strong unfiltered cigarette especially to a non smoker does in essence briefly give you a high. You’re light headed, you sweat, your heart rate goes up, and you feel pretty out of it.
You dont get high, its a head buzz..you clearly have never smoked.

Why don't you shut up
" it's making my Palms sweat, nice" phrases like that he should make them into a NFT. Nice
Read your comment right as he said it. Love it when that happens.
And now Steve is now back smoking 3packs of cigarettes a day!
I dont think he does. Or was that a joke?🤔
Oh man, we can thank MRE’s for getting him back in the game lol
I love the way you savored every second ..just amazing to be able to watch you open this and sharing it with the world.Thank you.
Steve, I love how every time you smoke you really endure the feeling of the cigarette it is really funny and I love watching all of your videos. please keep it up for everyone out there really liking your videos. I always dreamed of being a guy like you, not a smoker, but a youtuber and an mre tester and i hope to come out to be a guy like you if you read this comment I wouldn't be surprised because it is very long if you are reading this then thank you for all the content and for reading my comment.
Middle of the night camping with my girlfriend and she's smoking the cigarette she's saved for about a year, I can only think of Mr. "only smoke ration cigs" himself lol
Dude you look like an old version of shaggy from scooby do
lol he kinda does
"Like skoob come hit this sick chesterfield cigaret man, it's nearly."
Lol
Johann Budel mixed with Ian from forgotten weapons
I thought of the same fuckin thing
"recovering smoker gets hooked again on film" should be this title
As a kid in 1957,my buddies and I would vie to see who got the "C" rats from the surplus store with "ciggies" in them. UK Vietnam era rations had English oval style cigs in them.
Oval?
@@johnw1954 Some higher end unfiltered cigarettes had a flatter "oval shape". I don't think they're made any more. Philip Morris English Ovals were the most popular in the US until they were discontinued 7 years ago.
Chesterfield cigarettes is currently owned and manufactured by Altria. The brand was named after Chesterfield County, Virginia. They manufacture the cigarettes in Henrico County, VA. Aged fine like wine!
Scott Mendez I remember Picayune cigs. made in LA,
I like watching you smoke the ciggs while I sit here and smoke a fat joint enjoying your vids, 12:05 my favorite part lol
Bryan Jones It's because he's a mre demigod…
AC6PILOT same
AC6PILOT Smoking a blunt now and I 100% agree!
Now that he smoked one, he might as well finish the rest of the pack.
Let's lay these boys on to the tray, NICE
oh wow im already feeling that...that's a hard hitter😂😂😂😂
Take a few of those cigarettes to a cigar lounge and record their opinions!
+Steve1989 MREinfo Yes do it man!
hahaha ah man i feel ya...
Hey after all the solid videos you put out you deserve a couple of antique darts!!
Cheers bud!
+Steve1989 MREinfo
Hey man, hope you didn't fall back into it. I liked this video, but I know how hard it can be being addicted to something. Stay straight!
great idea
I could watch this man smoke vintage cigarettes and hear him talk about them for hours. Glad you kicked the habit man! But I enjoy that you still smoke these just to experience the ration in its entirety.
Really cool seeing what my Grandfather may have been eating, drinking, and smoking. VERY cool. :)
Free of doody? That's good, I hate shit on my cigarettes.
Really enjoyed the can opener in a can rant.
Autumn 1974 my USMC platoon was on an overnight field maneuver at Quantico. Evening chow was 1953 dated cans.
The food items ( ham & lima beans, beef stew, date nut cake, etc.) were still edible. The company 1st Sgt. scooped up all
the cigarettes as the accessory pack cans were opened. The newbies like me were not amused.
Problem is if you haven't had a cigarette in quite sometime, that 1st one always tastes like gold, even the generic brand.
7:10 when you stare at the blunt after you light it
“It’s makin my palms sweat.....nice” lmao
Seeing you enjoy all that so much was really enjoyable.
Steve is like the cool older brother you always wished you had.
The sugar looks like magnum condoms
send me that 60 year old war tar coffee so i can mush it under my lip like it's dip and see if i die, thanks
Her: "Hes probably out cheating on me"
Me: "Smoking Unopened Original 1951 Korean Cigarettes"
Lol! gotta stop the video for this comment. The transparent wrap company sure makes some opaque sugar packets!
+Melissa Davis I was going to say the same thing
I really wish they still made cigarettes like that, paper and tobacco. Not the fucking cancer sticks we have now. I joined the vape Naysh and won't ever look back, but if I found someone making old school cigarettes...
Gerard Byrne Why are cigarettes now worse than they were back then?
they've added chemicals to make them more addictive, not sure what year it was they did it, but these chesterfields are probably pretty clean
BetrayedColt there are about 5000 chemicals that are used in the production of cigarettes. Used to be paper, and dried tobacco. Still not good for you, but not nearly as bad.
yeah those " chemicals" have always been there. They are BYPRODUCTS of the paper, ashesive and of course tobacco burning. They don't "add" harmful chemicals.
Steve is literally the greatest RUclipsr EVER. Ive NEVER seen anyone enjoy anything as much as Steve enjoyed that old cigarette. I was in tears and my ribs hurt from laughing when he would be in the middle of talking and all of a sudden a random "Ohhh yeaaahhh im feeling that" or "Im glad im already sitting down". Hahahaha Steve is a treasure. P.S Boy i almost feel like saving that. THATS RIDICULOUS, Im not gonna save that.. Prolly gonna save it 😅😂
Thanks for your videos, I really enjoyed this one...even as a non-smoker. I completely agree with your idea that cigs should be included in rations today. Even though the number of non-smokers might lead most people to think otherwise the fact is that the non smokers would be able to trade their cigarette rations (in some countries 2-4 cigarettes would get you an meal twice as nutritious as any MRE).
