Oh, I see what those are.

Tell you what, ordinary Luckies (if you can find 'em fresh) are a fine smoke. Company ownership of the brand in the US has moved around a lot, but they taste like I remember from when I turned 18.

I miss American Spirit Yellows sometimes. Switched to the vape and my lungs feel better, but I think it's made me significantly more addicted to nicotine.

That's quite possible. I've smoked AS, and they seem to be less about the nicotine draw, than the flavor.
 
I smoke cigarettes on occasion, but I mostly just stick with pipe tobacco. It's way cheaper, just not the same in terms of effect.

I also prefer unfiltered cigarettes, filters make hits weak. Rolling my own cigs from basic bitch pipe tobacco is cheap too, just time consuming. It does have the upside of not inhaling an additional 9000 chemicals like pre-packed cigarettes.

Dude. Pipe tobacco is so addled with flavoring agents, it ain't even funny.

I smoked a pipe for a while, back in the 80s. Call me a proto hipster or something; I don't care. Grocery store wise, there was "Captain Black," "Borkum Riff," "Prince Albert," "Sir Walter Raleigh," And "Apple."

The only one out of that gaggle that I'm convinced was unadulterated tobacco, was Prince Albert.

And then there were 80s smoke shops, which focused upon cigars, pipe tobacco, Balkan Sobranie/Dunhill type cigarettes, Indonesian clove, Indian Bidis and shit.

The pipe tobacco those shops sold... Aside from the British/Virginia blends... Wow! Adulterated to hell and back.
 
I like swisher sweets, you get 2 for 99 cents and they have artificial fruit flavors I like. Been trying to quit for a while now but it’s hard.

Have you tried emptying out their contents, and re-packing them with cannabis? I've heard that some people do this.

I’ve done it a few times, a lot of people buy them for that reason. They’ll either take all of the tobacco out or mix it with kief.

Mask shitty tobacco behind flavoring agents, and charge full price. Market it towards you-know-who.

Psst... You don't wanna be caught smoking those... WHITE people cigarettes... Do Ya?

Don't forget the upside down NIKE check logo to capture their attention.

Not the kind I get. (Gambler). It's not actually pipe tobacco, it's cigarette tobacco labeled as "pipe tobacco". I get where you're coming from though, flavored tobacco makes me sick after a couple bowls. Flavored is nice every once in a blue moon, but I can't smoke that all day without getting sick like I can with cigarette tobacco. Plus a 1 lbs bag of Gambler is $7 here, compared to $6-$7 for a pack of stogies. Much rather pay the $7 for a month of tobacco vs $35-$60 (depending on brand of course) for a month worth of pre-packed cigs.



Not related to this quote-
Also Pall Malls taste like shit, but if you're broke and need cigs, pick up a pack. You'll get 40 cigs worth out of a pack of 20, they fucking burn forever. Newports are the exact opposite, they're expensive as fuck, and you can smoke a whole one in about a minute because they're packed so loosely.

Are unfiltered Pall Malls still a thing? Haven't seen them in an age. Don't remember them tasting that bad.

Also, Chesterfield and Phillip Morris. Those brands are long gone.

If you're broke, buy some Bugler. It's not bad. Drum, if you prefer a more Euro flavor, but it's an American company/blender making it now.
 
Not really a fan of cigarettes, but a couple of times a week I treat myself to a cigar. I like the way they smell. I might switch to a pipe someday--the thought of sitting on the porch on a rainy afternoon with a book and a pipe sounds really nice.

Thankfully, I'm not addicted or anything. Pringles will kill me before tar does.

We currently order whole leaf tobacco, prepare it at home and roll our own. IMO it's cheaper and tastier than other readily available RYO options. The current blend we've been smoking is a mix of Sweet Brightleaf Virginia Flue Cured, Samsun Turkish Oriental, and Latakia Fire Cured Oriental in an approximate 5:3:2 ratio. Occasionally we'll throw in some Saint James Perique too. I enjoy experimenting with different leaves and blends, but you have to be willing to put in the effort of manually trimming and de-stemming the leaves, grinding perhaps several pounds of tobacco at a time, casing and flavoring it, and having a bunch of large mason jars laying about your house. If you fuck with Perique, you'll have to immediately unpack the wet leaves and endure the sickening, shit-like aroma until they dry. While I do think all this is generally worth the effort, there are times I just want a Newport 100. I enjoy cloves more than anything though, and I'm looking into trying to make my own -- for now, I just buy Djarum Blacks or Djarum Vanillas on the rare occasion that I can find them. However, I'm determined to cut down on my smoking to maybe 2x/day; it's difficult because I'm always around a heavier smoker, but we're both resolved to drastically limit our intake in the near future. I'll vape a bit for a substitute, but luckily I don't seem to have a strong dependance on nicotine.

Damn, you're hardcore.

Ever considered super hot chili peppers instead? If you're seeking a sort of mental effect/rush to propel your day, capsaicin literally tells your affected body parts that they're burning, and numbs them/produces endorphins. And perhaps, even adrenaline. Though, (Citation needed.)

I rely upon capsaicin as a day-to-day, "Get up off your ass and face life" sort of stimulant more than anything else I consume... caffeine, nicotine, THC. I'm one of those people who need a jolt up the ass to get the day going. Habanero scrambled eggs and black coffee.

But, this is cigarette thread. Not Habanero Eggs thread. Lucky Strikes!

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.

Both my parents smoked and I've always hated the smell of it, but at my high school we had a power walking PE class where we'd just walk around town, the emo and goth girls would smoke those at the back of the group and I loved the smell of those. My parents smoked Marlboro and in the 90s they had those points you'd cut off the pack and use to buy shit out of a catalog and we got a lot of stuff from them, sleeping bags, radio, flashlight, pocket knifes etc.

Yep, that's the source -- they're pretty reasonable for everything but the Perique, which we're considering trying to source from elsewhere. Re-reading my post now, I'm actually pretty embarrassed by how pretentious it sounds, but I guess I got excited to tobacco sperg. I enjoy hot peppers, but I've never really considered using capsaicin to that effect -- that's a really interesting idea, I think I might find it beneficial too.
 
I roll my own with Golden Virginia Green tobacco. I love humid tobacco, when it's too dry it fucks my throat up pretty badly and very, very quickly. I started smoking with Lucky Strike Red (great cigarettes but so fucking heavy) before switching to Chesterfield Blue. Where I live everybody used to smoke Winston Blue cause they were cheap but I could never smoke more than 2, they taste foul to me.
 
Sorry for bumping this thread and if it might not be the right place to mention this, but raising the smoking age to 21 is ridiculous and lolcow Styx think it's stupid as well.

The comments dropped by various Youtubers was priceless to save for posterity.

You can have an abortion at 14, join the military at 18, but can’t smoke a cigarette? Good grief.
