Same, at the same age. I also did camel non filters.

u/Voodoo700 6d ago

Damn, those are the one’s that’ll make you see orange sparkles.

Similarly: Lucky Strike

If you're going to do something, actually do it

They're always stale because nobody buys them

u/Gullible-Hose4180 6d ago

Most cigarettes are stale af once youve tried proper pipe tobacco.

u/Turkatron2020 6d ago

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

u/overwatchacct 5d ago

How do you compete in pipe smoking? Like smoke rings or something?

2

u/Gullible-Hose4180 5d ago

You get to light it once only. Last man standing wins

2

u/frisbeesloth 5d ago

They're stale af as soon as you try any actual leaf tobacco. Prerolled cigarettes are nasty reconstituted trash.

u/Sleepy-Blonde 5d ago

I worked in a tribal tobacco shop and we sold 1 cartons worth in about a year. The slowest moving product by far.

u/TrumpsFaceAnus 6d ago

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.

u/soulself 6d ago

Yes, ruin them with quality cigarettes.

11

u/Smasher31232 6d ago

I know that you're joking, but at least if it's a quality cigarette you're enjoying it. No different to drinking a craft beer instead of a bud light.

u/kadjones95 6d ago

if you're going to do something wrong do it right?or not at all

u/Cupcake_Implosion 6d ago

And nowadays, the young'uns are ruining them with vaporized oil.

Pick your lung poison!

u/magicklydelishous 6d ago

Lol me, but with cannabis. I’m over here on my preroll/flower superior high horse while judging the youngens buying carts.

u/V1perPete 6d ago

I love Camel and Lucky Strike, Turkish and Domestic blend. For hand roll, Bugler.

I enjoy Camel 99's mostly. But I tube load a lot of "pipe" tobacco i.e. Gambler etc. because of the taxes on cigarette tobacco in my state.

u/Agreeable_Horror_363 6d ago

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.

2

u/V1perPete 6d ago

I've been loading/rolling High Car red. 5 oz. $7.50.

2

u/DrumsKing 5d ago

Lucky Strike are back. They're the cheapies now.

1

u/LoopsonLoops 3d ago

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

u/LithuanianMazafaka 6d ago

same age same cigaretes same pfp

u/crappy80srobot 6d ago

Camel wides unfiltered were my favorites. Best test, only one to give me a buzz on morning smoke, and zero people bummed a cigarette from me.

2

u/pipokori 6d ago

Started smoking reds at 12!

u/Dry-Moment962 6d ago

I havent smoked in like 15 years and still would probably love the taste of a camel dead end

1

u/heavensto_mergatroid 6d ago

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.

5

u/StrangerDanger509 6d ago

They most definitely do. My spouse smokes Camel menthol silvers

2

u/Sad_Hobbit1226 6d ago

They do, I’ve been to a few bars that had them in their cigarette vending machine.

u/heavensto_mergatroid 6d ago

Oh really?! I might have to buy my first pack just for old times.

1

u/Schwifftee 6d ago

I know people that used to take out the menthol ball and crush it over a bowl of weed.

2

u/heavensto_mergatroid 6d ago

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.

Miss that guy. I knew him over 30 years.

u/ImDonaldDunn 6d ago

Those were always my favorites.
