what brand of cigarette do you smoke?

[captainjack]

i've tried camel, kool, newport, backbay.

[gatlingforme]

1. Winston 100s if I smoke another brand I get headaches

[southpaw]

2. I no longer support big tobacco!

[Beware the Beast Man]

11. Excellent!

I too am struggling. I'd like to see a DU ex-smoker support group someday.

[Placebo]

3. Marlboro.

The brand for real men. :smoke:

[underpants]

15. Yep Reds for me too

:smoke:

[XNASA]

4. Camel Light Wides

That's my preferred brand. But I don't smoke usually, just when I'm socializing....

I try to stick to MonteCristo cigars, whenever possible.

[Guy_Montag]

5. Used to roll my own

& cough up black shit. So I stopped, it's been 5 weeks now:)

[politicat]

6. When I smoked, I smoked American Spirits.

No supporting big tobacco, no additives, and I smoked the organics. Still bad for me, but minimized the impact and the money went to independent farmers...

I quit several months ago.... though there are days I'd kill for one.

7. When I did smoke (quit 4 yrs ago) it was:

Camel Reds (I don't know how to explain them but the box was red and yellow and contained Turkish tobacco )

Malboro Lights
Camel Lights

[VOX]

8. I quit years ago, but my weapon of choice was Chesterfield Kings...

And that first burst of flavor, after a snappingly clean ignition by a Zippo lighter, was always the best.

Now, I puff on a pipe occasionally -- Dunhill's 965 and Light Flake.

[captainjack]

9. i want to start smoking pipe

it looks so distinguished and it seems like fun. i've done it, but not with tobacco in it :)

does it taste the same as a regular cig? is it more dangerous(ie, no filters)? How long does a pipeful last? how much does the tocabbo cost for a pipe? how much for the pipe itself? any good websites for pipe smokers out there?

[Huckebein the Raven]

10. I lost my Zippo lighter that I got when I went to Mardi Gras

pisses me off.

[gatlingforme]

18. I lost my head when I went to Tulane-- LOL

[Huckebein the Raven]

21. Fun times I presume ?

:)

[gatlingforme]

24. yes, except when a test was the next day. Tulane is a party school

and I learned alot too if it can be done at Tulane. My aunt was a Prof. there. she kept a watch on me.

[Huckebein the Raven]

30. where is Tulane in N.O ?

[gatlingforme]

34. Uptown New Orleans -- Loyola is on St. Charles St. and Tulane

is not far at all from there.

[Huckebein the Raven]

37. I see. Funny I never considered Tulane when I decided where

to go to school. At the time, I was trying to escape from the south.

[gatlingforme]

38. lol, I had a culture shock when I went down there, quite the difference

from up here. Everything went to slow motion. I really had to adjust to my surroundings.

[Senior citizen]

12. Premium.

It isn't actually a brand, but it is printed on the filtered cigarette tubes I use with my rolling machine, so whenever somebody bums a smoke, they think it's a brand.

As for tobacco, I buy 5 pounds bulk at a time, usually American Harvest or American Thrust (nonadditive for both), but I'm thinking of getting a chemicals-added tobacco next time. I probably won't because it makes the tobacco moister and that jams up my rolling machine.

Here's where I order:

13. Marlboro Ultra-Light 100s

I'm trying to quit and these things are like sucking air.

[Tafiti]

33. I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard that...

...smoking ultra lights is actually worse for you, because you're used to getting more smoke, so you suck harder and the smoke does deeper into your lungs than it normally would. You may want to research that. If it's true, go with lights and smoke less.

[asthmaticeog]

14. American Spirits.

Ditto everything politicat said in praise of them above, plus add that since I've become accustomed to Spirits, when I smoke anything else, all I can taste is the chemicals. SO disgusting.

[elperromagico]

16. Pall Malls and the occasional Camel Special Blend.

Right now: Kauai Kolada.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

25. I thought you were quitting?

[miss_kitty]

17. I used to smoke Silk Cuts

and Camel Lights. now I only smoke The Holy Herb. And it's not branded

[BurtWorm]

19. I used to smoke

(in order of appearance, beginning at age 18) Newport, Kent, Viceroy, Drum and, finally, Rothman's blue.

I finally quit, at age 45, on February 14, 2004.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. benson & hedges ultralights

[scarlet_owl]

22. That's what I smoked before I quit.

[stupid grin]

23. I used to smoke Camel Lights......mmmmm...c'est si bon!

[progressivejazz]

26. Mainly Newports.

But the occasional Nat Sherman when I can't take any more menthol. Nat Sherman makes lots of different smokes, the best (IMO) being his Turkish Ovals. Hard to find, though, unless you're in NYC.

[sniffa]

27. american spirit - menthoLs

i'm patriotic

[Huckebein the Raven]

28. I tried menthols twice

both times I got sick to my stomach after smoking them.

[sniffa]

29. they're Like candy - the kids Love 'em

[Huckebein the Raven]

31. I guess menthols just didn't like me

[Tafiti]

32. I used to smoke, and still occasionally do...

...and it was Camel Turkish Gold for me. So smooth and mild. I had to quit when my mom died of lung cancer (not due to smoking - she never touched a cigarette in her life). I figured it's directly in the family, I can't be doing this shit anymore. But sometimes I can't help myself. Plus, if I go to a bar, I'm inhaling a shitload of secondhand anyway, what's the difference? I'm one of those people who wasn't really addicted physically, I just like smoking (anyone else like that?) I'd make bets with people (who didn't believe me) and quit cold turkey for a week, or two, or whatever, to let 'em know I wasn't bullshittin'.

[bearfan454]

35. None.

I smoked a carton a week for 25 years. I quit on New Years Day 2000.

[ThreeCatNight]

36. G Tones...

Or as normal people call them GT Ones.
Product of Columbia.

[noonwitch]

39. Virginia Slims Lights (Menthol)

It's the only kind I've ever smoked. I tried Kools and Salemns and didn't like them. I almost coughed up a lung when I tried to smoke a Malborough Green.

I'm quitting this spring, when I get a new car. Or at least, I won't be smoking in the place I'm most likely to smoke (I stopped smoking in my house when I bought a home)-another step toward quitting.
