AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Already disappeared from today’s street scene...

Billboards featuring these two young men from the Emerald Belt. As Multatuli called the Dutch East Indies.

Javaanse Jongens is a well-known shag brand marketed by Koninklijke Theodorus Niemeyer BV. The brand and its image romanticize life in the former Dutch colony.

Characteristic, in the end, is the illustration of two smoking Javanese boys, originally an engraving by artist Paul Maessen from 1832.

Enteng means light (in weight).

Indonesia remains an important producer of tobacco. Yet there is no Indonesian tobacco in Javaanse Jongens. Each shag is a blend of various kinds of tobacco from different regions to achieve the right flavor sensation.

Carefully packed and safely shipped.
