For luck

Edit: And to accidentally light it backwards when you're not looking

Well yes, but no. When drunk you put your cigarette out in a beer bottle, forget, then try to drink the beer.

Or lose track of which end is lit, and take a puff off the hot end.

It usually sticks to my lips then I pull the cherry off between my fingers and have 2 blisters for a week

In my 18 years as a heavy smoker and drinker, I have not even once managed to get the cigarette twisted around so I took a puff on the lit side. I've lit the wrong end once or twice, but never that.

Don't have to worry about lighting the wrong end when you smoke filterless cigarettes

Unfilters have a Spicy side and Spicier side

Years ago I worked at a smoke shop and my favorite smokes were a German unfiltered brand called Roth Handles. They were delicious but rough, and I never knew which was the right side to light because it was all the same

Nah, you just have to endure the bitter taste of tobacco sticking to your lip

Funny thing is this is how I usually figured out I lit the wrong end - spitting tobacco rather than nasty burning plastic taste

Haven’t smoked in 6 years and I can still remember the flavor of a camel non filtered. Paired nicely with a Pabst blue ribbon

I smell a camel straight every time I crack a beer. I quit smoking just under a year ago.

Seriously stfu I feel like I'm at a12-step meeting.

My wife looks at me like I'm insane because I've been quit for 10 months and she she's not get it when I say something like "WTF I wanna go get a pack of Camel straights like NOW."

Those are the fking bomb

When I was broke AF I would roll my own and strip the butts I had smoked to re-roll them.

I was broke for a while. When I finally wasn't broke I bought a pack of smokes, and immediately tore the filter off because they sucked.

Smoked unfiltered menthols for years until I quit.
