Where to buy?
[edit]Is it possible to buy these all over eastern europe? And does one have to go to a tobacconist to find them? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.166.235.16 (talk) 22:00, 13 April 2007 (UTC).
Fair use rationale for Image:Sobranie.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:Sobranie.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Use in the arts - Film
[edit]Characters in the 2009 films A Single Man set in 1962 and An Education set in 1961 are seen smoking Sobranie. GFPLUX Luxembourg —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gfplux (talk • contribs) 08:44, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
Balkan Sobranie
[edit]Balkan Sobranie are not mentioned in the article. This brand of cigarettes used to be on sale but now it seems that pipe tobacco is sold under this brand instead.
Do I imagine it, or have Balkan Sobranie sometimes appeared in fiction as a luxury brand for the discerning gentleman? Perhaps not a rough thug in tuxedo disguise like James Bond, but somebody treacherously epicene like George Saunders wearing a black velvet smoking jacket and silk cravat.

- As I remember it, most Sobranie sales in the 60s were to maiden aunts who bought them to offer to their guests, much as they kept a bottle of Johnnie Walker in the sideboard. A great aunt of mine certainly did this. I don't remember anybody normal smoking Sobranies, though that may be because I'm insufficiently posh. --Ef80 (talk) 19:06, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
- My boyfriend smoked Balkan Sobranies in the 1960s; he was a poet and lived in northern California. Not "posh" but definitely "Bohemian." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.101.104.17 (talk) 02:26, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
Add the balkans to the market section.
[edit]They sell them at every corner store and traffic store. Also unimaginably cheaper than in England etc. 91.187.148.40 (talk) 07:37, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
