"SQUADRON READER", I decided on my daily tobacco.

1930's vintage cans

The current can

I was smoking "SQUADRON LEADER" while reading a book of old airplane.
The meaning of "Squadron Reader" is a major of the Royal Air Force.
In 1914, this tobacco was born to devote to the Royal Air Force officers and soldiers.
And it is a historic brand that has been built and continue endlessly today.
Biplane fighter that has been drawn to this tobacco cans,
Sopwith Camel fighter was shot down to record the highest number in the First World War.
Was called Camel has been outfitted cockpit before bulge of the cover 
that is covering the machine gun because it was like a camel's back.

It was a poor time since I came out to Tokyo to be disinherited parent,
Cheap apartment in Chofu, I consoled myself by making the plastic model.

It is a hommage to the spirit of chivalry.
Anymore, modern men have forgotten,

And, it speaks the aesthetics of the samurai.
