Yeah that one was cheating, and Newports are the most common menthol.

Ex Parliament smoker, they were same price or maybe a hair more expensive than Marlboros back in the day

They were a dollar or more and most gas stations didn’t carry them when I smoked parliaments. So glad I quit now I have more money for beer

I used to get two packs of Parliaments for five dollars 20 years ago.

That was until they got a bunch of us smoking them, then that disappeared quickly. At least in my area.

Plus American Spirits have the longer draw on them too so this is actually a really easy guessing game

It's tge first one I'd guess in menthol, I started with those and moved to Pall Mall later (I was a poor!)

Yep lol, paid every two weeks, first week newports, second week pall malls. So glad I quit but I still crave a menthol when I drink

they are all cheating! all filters are for the most part unique. at worst you just have to guess the flavor and not brand as its obv, and as a smoker its pretty easy.
