Let's just get that out of the way, right now.

This thread is for the Joy of Smoking. Those who smoke cigarettes -- why you smoke, what your favorite brand is, what triggers you to light up, and anything related towards cigarette smoking, that you actually enjoy about it.

It is NOT for anti-smoking/quitting propaganda.

I'll begin.

I like old Camels/Lucky Strikes. I only smoke about a pack a week, or so. Usually after I smoke pot/drink whiskey. I used to smoke a pack of crap cigs a day, but somehow, my nicotine addiction just dropped off.

I also smoke Bugler and Drum sometimes, but the price premium for a professionally made, tried and true product has its draw (Har!)

A Marlboro Light with its filter torn off is a surprisingly good smoke, and a relatively cheap one. Some states tax you harder for unfiltered cigs, not realizing that you can just tear off the filter, And there you go: An unfiltered Cig.

Have at it!

I usually roll my own. Drum is my brand. Used to be Bali Shag before they discontinued it and brought it back all FUBAR'd. If I buy a pack, i usually go for American Spirits (perique blend).

I probably smoke around half a pack a day, much more than I should. Hell, shouldn't be smoking to begin with, but I'm like Denis Leary in that I enjoy it, make no excuses and give no fucks.

I feel discombobulated if I can't start my morning sitting on the porch with my first cigarette and cup of coffee for the day. Those early sunrise smokes are the best.

when you smoke cigarettes, you're essentially putting long objects in your mouth and sucking on them, and that's pretty fucking gay

Douwe Egberts dropped out of the terbacky business (They owned the trade name, "Bali Shag.")

That was good shit.

Now, it's basically just Bugler and Drum, for the American RYO pouch market.

Neither are horrible, IMO. But could be better.

I always smoke one light blue American Spirit on my way home after a good workout. If it's a bad workout I won't let myself have one. I feel like it relaxes my muscles and let's me get in a quick nap.
I used to smoke about 2 packs a day of various brands. Sometimes after a hard day I would chain smoke while using dip/snus and go on a little nicotine vacation, felt great.
I never liked to smoke the same thing two packs in a row. Marlboro and the related brands were off the menu because I hate the paper they use. It always flakes off and floats everywhere. RJ Reynolds brands ash breaks off much more cleanly.

 

[BoingBoingBoi]

i used to smoke more, but never more than a pack a day. now i only feel the desire when i drink, and now i drink less. i think they call it "getting older"

i like camels. cant handle the regular ones anymore so i go for the lights.

I quit but smoked on and off for maybe a decade. Marlboro Lights, Camel Turkish Silvers or, when I was feeling really fancy and pretentious, Djarum Blacks.

I only ever smoked for two reasons: when I was working or when I was writing. It was a really great excuse to step away when I was on the job and take a breather and they went well with coffee, which was my other vice when I was trying to write.

I quit for personal health reasons but I'd never push other people to do so. You gotta do what works for you. If I was sure I could go back to it and have enough self control to be able to just have one or two a day I'd do it in a heartbeat.

 

[ForgedBlades]

Picked up smoking when I was 19, got pissed off about three months in when I couldn't smoke inside, switched to dip and never looked back. Been dipping a can a day for about 12 years now.

I still enjoy a smoke now and then, I'll splurge for a pack of Nat Sherman Classics on special occasions.

I haven't smoked in almost 7 years now, but when I did, it was 2+ packs a day, various brands, full flavor and sometimes with the filter broken off. Regular or menthol. Djarum Blacks were great too before they changed the paper and fucked them all up. Was smoking Marlboro black/reds when I quit, but Maverick reds, Sonomas, and USA Golds were cheap favorites, and smoked tons of Bugler, Gambler, and 4 Aces when I was broke and rolled my own. I was almost never seen without a lit cigarette. It's probably a real good thing I stopped. None of my friends quit though.

Don't let anyone tell you it stunts your growth either, I basically chainsmoked from 16-25 and I'm 6'3". Had no intention to stop, but one morning I just woke up and had no desire to smoke. None at all. Gave my full pack to the guy at work who always bummed, and that was it. Wasn't going to force myself to smoke. I've heard just dropping it like that means you have serious cancer or something, but I'm not dead yet. Not gonna lie though, if I found out I was dying, I'd probably take it back up again because why the hell not?

With all the "OMG SMOKING IS BAD" shit out there has anyone ever run the numbers on how much you can smoke without being likely to suffer the ill effects? I mean 1 cig a day isn't going to kill you. What about 2? 3? There must be a magic number.

Someone once told me that after 100 cigarettes, you're basically in an inescapable Russian Roulette for emphysema and whatever else, even if you never touch another cig in your life. I feel like that's bullshit though, because that's less than a week for your average smoker.

Camel turkish tobacco or Newports.

I knew a guy who said smoking would give me lung cancer and die. A week later he died randomly of a heart attack.
Smoking SAVES.

Reminds me of some ad I saw awhile ago that said "every cigarette takes an hour off your life!"or something. I remember a friend showed it to me to get me to quit and I pointed out that a lot of people I know would be dead if it was true.

Apparently it's actually 11 minutes and was basically a fun study of averages turned into a half-cocked anti-smoking campaign.

Rolling is the way to go. Cheaper, lasts longer, easy for rolling joints, the tabacco is moist so your throat doesn't get totally fucked and overall the taste is way better. The only times I bought normal packs of cigs is when there was no rolling tabacco or it was cheaper (30 bucks for 200 cigs or 50 bucks for 5 rolling tabacco pouches is a no-brainer).
Also if you roll with a filter, you are 100% attracted to the same gender
