What's the worst cigarette you ever smoked?

[NaMeaHou]

I smoked something the other day called Move that tasted like it was half pig excrement and half hummingbird droppings.

[HEyHEY]

1. Export - A Green "Mean Greens"

Like sucking off a tailpipe

[punpirate]

2. Which was the better half? *smile* n/t

[NaMeaHou]

4. I think the hummingbirds get a lot of secondhand smoke

so......

[THUNDER HANDS]

3. Marlboro Menthol Lights

god awful.

[maveric]

41. Hey! I smoke those!!!

The KOOLs were killing me so I had de-menthol a bit.

[shockingelk]

5. This chocolate flavored thing

You couldn't tell you were smoking, but it left this vaguely stemmy ultra light tobacco goopy sweet taste.

[Kenneth ken]

6. Pall Mall unfiltered -

I pulled the wrong handle on the vending machine, so since I had 'em I thought I'd try one.

bad

BAD

BAD!

idea.

[caledesi]

10. Agree. When my girlfriend & I ran out of cigarettes, we used to

raid her mother's. She smoked Pall Malls. UGH!

[SmileyBoy]

11. There was a guy who came in every week when I was working...

...and bought three packs of Pall Mall unfiltered. EVERY WEEK. He was the only one I could remember who bought them.

[madrchsod]

21. pall mall

old golds and any french cigarette

[alphafemale]

24. Pall Mall was the worst. Who Smoked those horrid things?

I mean some people somewhere actually had to smoke those things, right?

[Spirochete]

39. My mother smoked them for years.

All my young life she puffed those "Red Deaths". I remember once she tried to quit by going to lesser tar and nicotine cigarettes by degrees. She went to Winstons, I believe, then to Vantage, then to Doral, then to Now, then to something called Carlton, which had so many holes in the filter, it was like giving mouth-to-mouth to a Tampax. So she ended tearing the filters off, and was right back to smoking non-filters again.

I think the nastiest cigarettes I ever smoked, other than clove ones - which I never smoked, seeing how they make me sick just to smell them - was some colored cigarettes called Vogue, and some non-tobacco things whose name I don't recall.

[short bus president]

cohiba cigarettes

They can keep those fuckin' things illegal in the US as far as I care. That's like the Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout of cigarettes. It grabs yer lungs and slaps 'em around a little.

[LynneSin]

50. HEY - I love Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout

Then again, I don't smoke

:shrug:

[SmileyBoy]

7. I used to be asst. manager at a convenience store...

...and the worst tasting cigarette people would tell me existed was Carltons. Whenever I asked a smoking customer what smokes they thought were the nasiest, a good majority would say Carlton.

Now, I don't smoke, but I know most of the brands. A co-worker of mine (smoker) told me that he thought Carltons tasted like really dry hay.

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. All those flavored camel cigarettes...

blech!

[SmileyBoy]

13. Now I don't smoke, but Camel Izmir Stingers smell AWESOME.

I took a whiff one time, and I KNEW I had to resist smoking.

And I haven't smoked in 5 1/2 years (4 1/2 or so at the time), so it was REALLY tempting.

[peekaloo]

9. Craven Menthol, I think that was the name

a Canadian ciggie.

The name cracks me up but the smoke was a lung buster.

[Devlzown]

12. USA

Not only do they taste awful, they smell like burning puke-soaked cardboard!

[mitchum]

14. any menthol

like smoking cough drops

[MissMarple]

15. The last one. It had been a while.

Gack! Nasty things.

[NaMeaHou]

18. GACK!

would be a great name for a cig.

Straightforward - to the point.

I'm going to smoke a Liggett now.

[Superfly]

16. Any clove cigarette

Ugh

[ronzo]

20. wow.

sick minds think alike.

[oldleftguy]

25. I agree.

Clove smokes are the worst! :bounce:

[ronzo]

17. remember clove cigarettes?

*hack*

[BiggJawn]

48. Yes. AWFUL!

No wonder coffee shop Goths smoke 'em....

[ironflange]

19. The first and last one

It was the same one. To hell with the damn things, and with peer pressure.

[Piperay]

44. Same here...

the first was the last.

[LynneSin]

51. Same here

I tried them once and only once and I hated the things. I don't know what the brand name was but it was nasty as hell and I couldn't figure out why people would smoke the damn things.

Licking the bottom of my sneaker seemed more appetizing than smoking.

:shrug:

[BlueMole]

22. Crowns

Canadian I think.

[sam sarrha]

23. actually it was a joint in the 60's someone DIPPED in PCP. Tasted it

exhaling... too late! I really almost died. glad those days are over...

[qwertyMike]

26. Disc Bleu

Killed Albert Camus

[Mikimouse]

27. Brazilian Cigs.called Negro Primero...

Black tobacco, and it nearly killed me. The smoke got about as far as my adam's apple and my throat started flashing the REJECT light. Whewwwww. :smoke:

[Nailzberg]

28. Players

God those were horrible. My first college roommate isisted they were the best. I turned him into a Marlboro Red guy.
Then I dumped the Reds and went to handrolling American Spirit, and he followed me again.

[LoZoccolo]

29. Monarchs.

They were even cheaper than Basics, back when Basics were significantly cheap enough to make a difference.

In Chicago there are so many taxes that it's not that big of a percentage saved on Basics.

But you should quit smoking! I started getting heart disease when I was 27! It's better now but I quit over a year ago.

[WilliamPitt]

30. The first one.

[DemoTex]

31. Road trip with a band in 1967. Picyune Cigaretts

There were four of us in the car (core of the band: the piano, bass, drum, and vocalist). The drummer was doing the vocalist ... oh, hell, not really germain ... but he did (later) get her pregnant. We all lit Picyunes and puffed like fools. The rules disallowed the lowering of a window for fresh air. God, we all felt like shit at the gig in Biloxi that night.

[Spider Jerusalem]

32. Unfiltered Gauloises...

dear God, those things are hideous. One would expect the French to have better taste.

[Supply Side Jesus]

33. Sundance

I swore it was grass/skunk weed clipping rolled up.

[Zorra]

34. Wilderness Parking Lot Supremes.....

About 10 years ago my ex and I decided we were going to quit smoking on a backpacking trip in a wilderness area. We ran into a few smokers on the trail and managed to keep the jones alive. When we ended our trip a week later, we rolled up a bunch of ancient tobacco from cigarette butts we picked up in the parking area and smoked them.:puke:

i don't smoke anymore.

[FloridaJudy]

35. "Bravos"

Briefly made in the late 60's. Supposedly made of lettuce, they were touted as "nicotine free". Tasted just like burning lettuce.

[MPiedlourde]

36. Ever hear of Ones?

I don't smoke, but I work in a convenience store in the Midwest. Our cheapest cigs are called Ones, from Brazil. They're $1.57 a pack. We sell a lot of them to poor people. Sometimes our Marlboro/Camel people (mostly college kids my age) try them and report back that they are utterly horrid. I have no doubt about it.

I've been curious about who makes them, and how they can be so cheap. No information on the packaging as to who the manufacturer is, and I don't speak Portugeuse, so my limited research has been futile.

[newyawker99]

57. Hi MPiedlourde!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[CanuckAmok]

37. Djaroums, from Indonesia

Apparently, they are chcock-a-block with THC and pesticides.

All I know is I smoked one, and seriously couldn't move my legs for an hour. I really thought I was paralysed.

[politicat]

38. Tied between a Wave and a Jazz Cinnaberry thing

Tho now that I've quit, they all make me sick.

The Waves were these weird Japanese imports that ran a buck a pack back - compared to 2.50 for Marlboros - when I was in college so of course we all smoked them! Oddly woody, oddly oregano-basily. very otaku cigarettes, though - they imitated the filter paper perfectly from a camel.

The Jazz Cinnaberry thing was a random purchase Mr. Politicat made for me when he went to buy a cigar (he rarely smokes cigars and/or pipes, but when he does, he wants good ones.) He saw these Indian flavored cigarettes and bought me the cinnaberry ones. (Knowing I like neither Bananas nor blueberries, which were the other two options.....)

Foul. Like inhaling a burning cinnamon stick.

Ick.

Politicat

[CandyCrim21]

40. Marlbro Reds

Those are harsh.

[maveric]

42. Donkey Shit cigarettes you can but in Tijuana.

Its a tourist thingie! They're not really donkey shit but some low grade tobacco. You used to also be able to get horseshit and bullshit cigs down there too.
Now that I think of it it probably was donkey shit!

[Andyjunction]

43. it's a tie

Ever since I started smoking American Spirits about 7 years ago all other cigs smell like burning styrofoam to me. Strange.

[kyrasdad]

45. Chesterfield straights... ripped my throat to shreds

2nd runner up Winston Menthol... gag-a-rama

[Terwilliger]

46. the first one

it was the one that led to the others

[Loonman]

47. Capri - them skinny ones

Tasted like dirt.

[Kamika]

49. First and only one ever

I tried one my friend offered me when I was 12 or so.. I coughed for about 30 minutes after inhaling once.

I never touched one after that

[LTR]

52. Virginia Slims

In a pinch, so I smoked one of those "chick cigarettes". Those were by far the nastiest cigarettes I have ever smoked. Ugh!

I also hate Misty, Capri, and any skinny cigarette.

I prefer Camel Lights.

[xJlM]

53. Tourney non-filter

God they're horrible! But they're half the price of Camels, so I'm suffering through right now. Four of them a day is about all I can take.

[MissMillie]

54. All of them

Quitting smoking was the second best thing I ever did.

(The first best thing calls me "Mom")

[SiobhanClancy]

55. More and Silk Cuts

really,none of them taste very good:(

[foxy]

56. 305's
