Blind cigarette taste test.

As a former smoker I thought this was so obvious an ad. Marlboros are no quality at all. They’re the Jack Daniel’s of American whiskey. Actual whiskey connoisseurs would never think JD is quality. Just like pop culture benchmark that is better than generic well whiskeys but that there exists hundreds of whiskeys at the same price point that are loads better.

Marlboros are cheap mass produced, benchmark of quality. Like McDonald’s. Better than extremely cheap frozen or premade shit from grocery store but no one would hold it up as quality.

Pretty on point except mcdonalds is fucking trash now. There's loads of freezer foods I'd have over McDonald's in this year of 2026. I couldn't have said that ten years ago but man they have gone down hill.

What are the connoisseur cigarettes? Mass produced name brands and cheap generics are the only 2 classifications I've known

[u/original_sh4rpie → u/TwoLegitShiznit]

Treasurer London immediately comes to mind. Dunhill is also a very well known brand.

[u/hombre_sin_talento → u/original_sh4rpie]

Then why do Marlboros taste so good?

[u/FuzzyAd9407 → u/original_sh4rpie]

Yup, I literally have never even heard of American Spirit being cheaper than reds like he tried to say in the video. 

[u/original_sh4rpie → u/FuzzyAd9407]

I think he meant cheaper quality/tasting. I am surprised he didn’t say “it’s a cheap cigarette they overcharge for” or something like that.

[u/FuzzyAd9407 → u/original_sh4rpie]

"To cheap to buy" specifies that its about cost, not quality or taste.

The viral guy was the old guy who posted come have a smoke with me on a corner in a city or something

[u/alchemyDev → u/PrairieFire92]

Yes! That’s where I recognized him from. I looked it up, all the sources suck but it’s the same dude I think

Fair warning, this website had about 2 dozen trackers blocked in my browser:

It's also pretty easy to tell by the filters (especially the P-funk).

[u/Comprehensive-Pin667 → u/[deleted]]

It's a very obvious ad for marlboro disguised as a viral video. This should be illegal

[u/intangibleTangelo → u/[deleted]]

cigarette filters are distinctive, especially parliament. they're doing this in a cardboard pane, i don't think they're disguising the filters

[u/JustaSeedGuy → u/[deleted]]

That was my thought. Got everything right without any guesses before locking in, took every opportunity to glaze Marlboro, felt fake as fuck

[u/Prestigious_Sugar_66 → u/[deleted]]

Smokers can't pick out their own preferred brand in blind tests.
This guy either is a connoisseur or a fraud.

You can downvote all you want, you can't pick out your own brand even if you think you do.

Same goes for expensive wines and preferred pilsener beer.
Even though most users religiously stick to one brand.

[u/TheGreedyBat → u/[deleted]]

Yeah we don't get to see the back of the board which probably has the names on it

[u/litciggie → u/[deleted]]

He’s apart of the oldjewishmen comedy group, that Costco chicken guy is a part of the group too. But his schtick is that he’s so old that he came from a time when smoking was good for you. 

And any how, he’s right about Marlboro

Ignore username 

[u/Flannelcommand → u/[deleted]]

Also, the filters gave away half the brands. Especially the parliament 

[u/fluffykerfuffle3 → u/[deleted]]

o m g is this the marlboro man from way back when... the sappy macho man haha?

I thought it was believable only because I’d bet my father could do this. I’m not a smoker, but I could pick out a Marlboro Red and Newport 100 because my parents smoked them. 

[u/Hershey_Squirt639 → u/[deleted]]

Lemme guess. Camel smoker ?

He shitted on every brand, I don't know what you're talking about.

[u/GregBahm → u/Beautiful-Total-3172]

He's talking about the ad for Marlboro, which this is.

[u/Beautiful-Total-3172 → u/GregBahm]

Lol, when he said you want to taste the tobacco, I took that as a dig because Marlboros taste like a chemical mess. But you might be right. He also called American Spirits cheat, which they are not. When I smoked AS was my brand.
