Marlboro Lights.

I wish. Alas, I quit.

What about those menthol cigs? BARF. I can't understand people who smoke'em. Seriously don't.

― nathalie (stevienixed), Friday, 16 February 2007 13:24 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't even get the point of lights tbh.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Friday, 16 February 2007 13:24 (seventeen years ago) link

try giving up, bnrq. that'd be novel and nu.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Friday, 16 February 2007 13:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Me neither, really, but that was what my husband smoked... So I just got the same ones.

― nathalie (stevienixed), Friday, 16 February 2007 13:25 (seventeen years ago) link

i gave up, but i done gave up giving up now.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Friday, 16 February 2007 13:25 (seventeen years ago) link

i might give up again.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Friday, 16 February 2007 13:26 (seventeen years ago) link

that wouldn't be something new, though.

i like them -- had a pack this week. in fact i was having them back in '99. still not found everywhere.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Friday, 16 February 2007 13:28 (seventeen years ago) link

no, they're not exactly easily found at the corner bodega. i usually smoke the regulars. except when i'm really wasted, and i end up with a pack of a) unfiltered luckies or b) marlboro reds

― a_p (a_p), Friday, 16 February 2007 13:30 (seventeen years ago) link

gauloises blondes legeres/"gauloises reds" in today's etc etc etc.

i am obnox pretentious, but they do taste nice. (and are sold in my nearest corner shop)

I was pleasantly surprised to find American Spirits in a shop in Amsterdam, so I brought 200 back with me. They've all gone now though.

I usually smoke B&H "Silver" these days. They smoke pretty good for lights. Since I only smoke when I'm drinking nowadays I find full-strength ciggies a bit rough on the throat. In theory I'm going to quit in July when you can't smoke in pubs any more.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Friday, 16 February 2007 13:49 (seventeen years ago) link

― teh_kit (g-kit), Friday, 16 February 2007 13:51 (seventeen years ago) link

American Spirits usually, organics when I can find them (they taste a little sweeter), but when I'm feeling fancy, I get Nat Sherman Classic Mints. The secret is to smoke them right down to the filter, so the last drag tastes like a delicious candy.

― en i see kay (EstrangedNative), Friday, 16 February 2007 13:57 (seventeen years ago) link

When I smoked: Dunhills, Nat Shermans and Sobranies, Camels.

marlboro menthol lights. LOVE THE MENTHOL.

― maunders (maunders), Friday, 16 February 2007 14:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I tried a menthol once. I instantly vomited.

― en i see kay (EstrangedNative), Friday, 16 February 2007 14:08 (seventeen years ago) link

luckies, red

chesterfields too when theyre about

royals when i'm feeling cheap (ok, all the time)

menthol whatever if ive got a cold

― tsk. (rrrrrtc), Friday, 16 February 2007 14:22 (seventeen years ago) link

sheesh, people, menthols are for wannabe smokers. ;-) (i know, i know, what about lights?)

the most elegant smoker was my mum who smoked dunhills and would actually wake up in the middle of the night for a cig! she's now an avid anti-smoker. quelle surprise.

― nathalie (stevienixed), Friday, 16 February 2007 14:24 (seventeen years ago) link

won't smoke:

marlbruh lite (whats the point indeed)
marlbruh red (taste so flat and grey)
camel lite (taste too creamy, no one else thinks so)
b&h (heaaaavy)
dunhill (too rich, plus my mum smoked them)

― tsk. (rrrrrtc), Friday, 16 February 2007 14:26 (seventeen years ago) link

well i smoked regular cigs for years, i think my sister got me into menthols and now i cannot smoke a regular cigarette without thinking its sort of gross.

― maunders (maunders), Friday, 16 February 2007 14:27 (seventeen years ago) link

xp that is exactly my mum! after 30 years she went for hypnosis and immediately never wanted one again.

― tsk. (rrrrrtc), Friday, 16 February 2007 14:28 (seventeen years ago) link

amel lite (taste too creamy, no one else thinks so)

so otm!!

i am having a hard time with full-on camels though, never used to. i had these 'mediumy' ones once which were great.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Friday, 16 February 2007 14:31 (seventeen years ago) link

camel menthol lights

i, too, can't smoke regs.

― AiLien (AMD), Friday, 16 February 2007 14:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Lucky Strike filters/lights are just normal cigarettes in a Lucky Strikes box, though! WHERE'S THE SWEET SWEET TOASTEDNESS. I ask you.

Nat Sherman Phantoms are freakin fantastic but they're so ~~clotted with sugar and additives~~ rich that I can usually finish about 2/3 of one before I have to go lie down.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I need a fancy-time cigarette choice. Used to smoke Dunhill blues, now Marlboro light 100s all the time...maybe a different Dunhill or an N. Sherman is in my future?

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:12 (seventeen years ago) link

camel lights, if unavailable winston lights or paliaments.

― chicago kevin cleaned a lot of plates in memphis (chicago kevin), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Lucky Strikes light (which do still have the toastedness, Eli!) if available, otherwise Parliament Lights because I like the blue and white box.

― Allyzay heard you got beat up in a club. (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

i used to smoke camel wide lights or parliament lights, or kools if i was feeling minty. perhaps the occasional newport. chesterfield filtered are my all-time favorites, but not easy to get. in the uk, i smoked camel lights as i never found the wides. i'm basically cig-free at this point (had ~ 4 in the past six months or so), unless i'm doing really heavy drinking. i still miss menthols.

― Lauren (lauren), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Ally I did not know that. I think in the UK they're just plain.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Ooh, forgot about Parliaments. I never liked the way they tasted, but the starlight mint pattern on the filter when you're done is a treat.

― en i see kay (EstrangedNative), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Aren't they called something like "Lucky Strike SILVER" in UK though? Not the same exact thing...I have never seen Lucky Strike LIGHTS in the UK, only Silver, which I still bought but they definitely tasted different, and also I don't believe the box even referenced the toasty (though for all I know the toasty reference could be covered by the ridiculous warning label?). Lucky Strike Lights only seem to exist in cigarette vending machines in the US, for all I can tell.

I always like it when Parliament does its weird promotions and covers the filter of the cigarette with PALM TREES!

― Allyzay heard you got beat up in a club. (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Marlborough Mediums or Camel Lights in the U.S.

Gitanes Blondes, Stuyvesant Reds or Marlboro Lights in France

Once upon a time, I smoked Export A Greens!

― Michael White (Miguelito), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

i've gone through a few menthol periods, i usually like them better in the summer. my first menthol period was the tail end of my freshman year in college through that summer and into the fall of my sophomore year. i last had menthols in november (i think?) when the free cigarette guy came through the note and it turned out to be the free kool guy. free camel light guy got me last thursday in uptown. i drank for free and got 2 free packs of cigarettes. tremendous night.

― chicago kevin cleaned a lot of plates in memphis (chicago kevin), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:26 (seventeen years ago) link

in the uk nothing is called 'lights' any more, at least on the packet, so yeah it's 'silver' or 'red'. i think luckies do have the 'they're toasted!' logo here too...

Yes, EU wide regulation forbids the use of terms such as 'lights' or 'milds', so it's silver and red from now on.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 00:14 (seventeen years ago) link

"Paint scrapings" implies that they have some sort of flavor.

I smoked blue american spirits when I was cutting back. 4 puffs, knock off the cherry, blow out the smoke, wait 2 hours.
By the last few puffs they had a flavor.

Also, I do in fact enjoy my cigarettes, but am not addicted. The only time I can smoke is after a few drinks. Sometimes when I'm sober I think, "Man, a cigarrette would be ideal right now," but I know I couldn't handle one without some alcohol in me.

Oh, so, I stand [i]un[/i]corrected. Thanks for clearing that up. Stimulants are toxic, and toxins are stimulatory. Stimulants increase levels of acidic waste products and other toxins.

Also, I do in fact enjoy my cigarettes, but am not addicted.

Ah, classic anecdotal "evidence." I think we've all been there. "Learning" how to smoke is becoming addicted. Not being addicted would be not craving a cigarette after a few drinks. Tobacco addiction doesn't necessarily mean you're an instant pack-a-day smoker. The psychology of tobacco addiction is brainwashing. It's a vice that mixes well with other vices. The physical addiction is quite easy to overcome.

― joblo (Joseph P. Blowz), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 08:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Or, as a friend told my mother about 5 years ago, "Cigarettes are NOT addictive. I should know, I've smoked thousands of them!" This past summer, when I visited, he freely admitted he is massively addicted to both coffee and cigarettes as well as alcohol and pot, but he says, "I don't care because I LIKE IT!" Genius! But, before I left, he did manage to squeak out the words, "Don't you ever want a smoke? How did you quit?"
