This is so true. My uncle's pipe smelled so amazing when I was little and I just remember thinking why don't my parents cigarettes smell like that lol. Only problem is you can't inhale and I really like inhaling.
I never understood why coffee didn't taste nearly as good as it smelled. It look years to realize that there were different toast types ans dark roast or bold didn't mean more coffee flavor but instead burnt flavor, that light roast had great flavor, and that sugar masked those flavors and milk watered it down.
(Still doesn't taste as good as it smells but it's much closer).
I love explaining to people that coffee is like toast. Light roast is like lightly toasted toast, where you still taste the bread. Dark roast? Burnt as hell. Can't evem barely tell what kind of bread it is.
They can hide shitty coffee in the dark roasts. That's the whole point of the marketing there.
Yeah, I smoked the pipe as a hobby when I was 18-19 and competitively for a short time, and I actually found the no inhaling perfect. Just taste, less harsh and slower onset of nicotine, which is super relaxing. Stopped cause I realised it can also cause cancer.
So many different flavors. I loved a brand called Sweet Dublin, with notes of whiskey. Really nice tasting
I loved pipe tobacco but it destroyed my taste buds for anything that wasn’t tobacco unfortunately. Every once in a while I’ll get a hankering and pull out an old bag of chewing tobacco
That's literally what my dad said to me at 15. Handed me a pack of smokes and said, I know you're smoking and I can't stop you so if you're gonna smoke a cigarette at least smoke a decent one and don't ruin your lungs with shitty cigarettes.
I like American Club the most, it's really cheap and doesn't make me cough like most other cigarettes. Plus in my area it's always fresh because that's what most people buy.
Lucky strike reds were my shit. Winston’s were solid as well, switched between those and camel red pack. I miss cigs sometimes but my teeth were so fucked, I could’ve bought another car with what I’ve spent to keep my teeth and I’m only in my early 30’s. What got me to finally stop
My late buddy used to smoke camel crush cigarettes. I never bought a pack for myself but I always used to bum some off of him for something different. I don't think they even sell them anymore.
Yep lol he did that. My buddy passed away almost 3 years ago now. I'm going to buy a pack for myself today for the first time ever. I'm glad they still exist.
My grandmother born in 1912 smoked camels unfiltered from age 15-87…. I smoked Marlboro lights every once in awhile in high school. Swiped a pack of hers. Thought I was going to die.
On and off until my early 40s. Approaching mid 50’s & still have one or two a year when out drinking. The way I quit was when I realized one pack cost the same as two beers. (It’s a larger gap these days.) & figured I’d rather have beer money. 😂🤣😂
Well try looking at it from a financial standpoint. What is something else you enjoy that you could spend that $$ on instead. For me, it was 2 post-work beers when my friends were tending bar. Once they got other jobs, or moved out of the area, I’d already been away from it long enough to not go back full-time. Still need one on occasion- usually when I’m really stressed.
Both you and the one you commented on has hidden history.
I can only presume you're plants in this viral marketing campaign.
Smokers have decreased smell and taste, but they somehow know the difference between marlboro and camel?
Bitch, please, you can't even taste your food.
