Founded in 1976, the Cigarette Pack Collectors Association  now numbers 250 members world-wide.  Our group publishes a quarterly newsletter called "Brandstand" which follows the trends in the tobacco industry and gives members a forum for exchanging stories as well as swapping packs.  CPCA also holds conventions every few  years  usually in "Tobacco Country."  The most recent convention was held in  September 2003 in  Louisville, KY.  

Brandstand is published four  times a year.  Subscriptions are $10 per year for US addresses and $15 per year for overseas airmail. A sample issue will be sent free upon request.  All  inquiries and correspondence should be sent to:
