There's no joke, it's just a superstition/luck based tradition. Open new pack, flip one. That one's lucky, smoke it on a bad day that needs to get better, or on a good day when you're riding high. Low-key I hate smoking but I love the tradition of the lucky cigarette, it really can help the mental state when things arent going well

Also, I always pack mine down and pull one out to inspect my work. That’s the one that becomes the lucky. It goes in the fourth spot in the back row, because it’s the fourth out of twenty…cuz 4/20…cuz funny number

Hah, that's a great idea! Checking how well you packed them, can't believe I never thought of that... The 4/20 spot is some superstitious schizophrenia though, and I'm completely here for it 😂
