Let’s be Cigarettes

I've always found Benson & Hedges to be much more elegant.

I haven't seen Benson & Hedges in years, I don't think they're still made.

Marbs, Parlies, Ports and Spirits bro!

R2 they are

I'm a pack of stale Sobranies. I lolled around on a side table until I was outed as an affectation and tossed in the bin.

Stupid thread OP.

Posting ten times on the Affleck thread wasn’t enough for you?

R6 should have a cigarette

I'm Egyptian Cleopatras. For years, about two dollars the CARTON.

I'm a Kuta Kretek clove cigarette from the bright Orange pack. In 1981, I give an air of sophistication to the New Wave Twink who smokes me in the Coffeehouse. Everyone around us is getting second-hand emphysema.

I'm Gauloises/ have a little class.

Merit menthol 100’s to smoke when you really didn’t.

I'm Gauloises unfiltered blasting through a generous application of Antaeus Chanel, reeking up the balcony at Café Costes.

I'm the cool factor. No matter what they say about me, I will always have it.

I AM DEATH

I am the Kool menthol cigarettes that I smoked for two Summers at camp.

Carlton 100s in the box was my brand.

Capri 120s are the preferred cigarette of Dataloungers.

I’m the recessed filter on a Parliament. Put cocaine in me for some extra fun while smoking!

I am Raleigh cigarettes And *I* have COUPONS! Smoke enough packs of me, and you can furnish your rec room with a brand new ping pong table!

I'm the last cigarette I ever smoked, over 10 years ago.

Damn, I was good.

I'm American Spirit.

I'm just as much of an insult to the human body as any other cigarette, but I project the illusion to consumers that I'm made from "pure" tobacco, cultivated and blessed by the ancestors of the indigenous peoples of North America and, therefore, harmless.

I'm Raleigh's great taste, R19. Real tobacco taste! Some people enjoy me so much, they don't even bother to save the coupons! But most people enjoy both.

I’m Larks. On a lark, I smoke Larks.

Charcoal filters.

And, no, they don’t make them anymore.

I'm Tareytons. People who smoke me would rather fight than switch. And they also have poor grammar.

I'm r13 in 2040 with wrinkles out the wazoo.

Newports, baby!!!!

Full of sexual innuendo in every ad!

I'm Capris the cigarette for ladies, the width of a coffee straw.

I'm a Camel. Men would walk a mile to have me.

I'm a silly millimeter longer!

[quote] "I’m the recessed filter on a Parliament. Put cocaine in me for some extra fun while smoking!"

You know R18, I put the powdered coke inside the Parlaiment cigarette and smoked it, but despite knowing about the filter bump, I never did that.

[quote] "I'm the last cigarette I ever smoked, over 10 years ago."

Congrats, R20!

Anyway, I'm not cigarettes, but I will be cheaply-constructed pouch-style cigarette cases. I'm ubiquitous at casinos and bingo games, and popular with white trash everywhere.

I am KOOL Menthol cigarettes and i smoke them because i am so cooool.

I'm lemon/menthol Twist

I’m the brand my mom smoked up until she died. I don’t think they make me anymore.

Oasis

^with Menthol Mist

Kents were like smoking warm air, they were awful.

I'm the brief trend of completely generic cigarettes at rock-bottom prices.

The Virginas killed my mother…or, more accurately, she killed herself with them.

Very effective.

I'm Waterfords...

I'm the delicate Eve cigarettes with beautiful flowers painted all around the filter. Women's lib baby, circa 1972!

Mamma smoked Viceroy’s. I’m the note from her that I carried to the grocery to buy them. She’s 89, still smoking (currently Marlboro silver) and in good health. She mentioned that maybe she should quit now..

Tobaccos D & R Tobacco - Picayune "The Pride of New Orleans"

Laissez les bon temps rouler! with Tom Waits singing 'Take Me to New Orleans' in the background.

Maybe that's how he got that gravel in his voice

My aunt flaunted convention down in Mississippi and smoked Lucky Strike (born in 1923 and lived to age 95).

Her one vice, she was in church every Sunday morning, having slept in curlers all night to have that Sunday best look. While she spent Saturday nights with my grandma, her husband went out and drank moonshine.

Lovely culture in the hardscrabble south, you know.

Oh and she loved "True Magazine" with scandalous stories about babysitters being raped and such.

Another aunt, whose mom ran a saloon (married into the family, of course) - she smoked Raleigh cigs and collected coupons to get free gifts, like frying pans and aprons.

I'm More 120s, the choice of aspiring Alexis Carringtons everywhere.

Miss Warwick is 81 and still smoking her Virginia Slims.

R45. Eek, gave me crazy old grandma vibes.

Probably the most famous smoker ever

I’m Benson & Hedges ultra light menthol100s Deluxe, in a box.

Your female friend drives, but you have to pick them up because she’s in her nightgown. She waves them like a wand far more often than she smokes. You thought smoking kept folks thin. Nope

[quote] "I'm the delicate Eve cigarettes with beautiful flowers painted all around the filter. Women's lib baby, circa 1972!"

They were very eye-catching, R40!

Benson & Hedges 100s, wow that's really going back in time. I don't think I've seen those in 20 years.

I'm Joe Camel and you know what, if your kid took up smoking because of me, that's really your fault.

I'm the uncool factor, which is why rates of smoking have steadily decreased. Mostly due to things like requiring packets to look like this now (this is in the UK).

I’m the butts flicked out the car window to keep the ashtray clean.

You’ll move to a lovely exurban cottage a block from a library and an ice cream shoppe. Your lawn will have butts everywhere.

The mower won’t pick them up and neither will a rake. You pick up butts for six years. And, yeah, you still smoke, but not in the car. And you have stinky pockets because you don’t litter.

That’s life’s payback.

I’m the upside down lucky cigarette.

R54 grew up in a trailer park

Benson & Hedges 100s.

No cigarette company had a better series of commercials

The music used got as high as 37 on the 1967 Top 100

Benson and Hedges menthol 100s. Almost makes me want to start smoking again.

I’m True — you get all the flavor and the filter too. And the cancer too.

Marlboro reds, the cowboy killers.

I'm all the branded merch that R59 can buy with his Marlboro Miles, if he remembers to rip them off the package before he throws it away.

Hey dose of reality

R51 You're fresh!

[quote]Throwback Thursday: When Doctors Prescribed 'Healthy' Cigarette Brands

I always loved how the "doctors" in those old print ads were always required to wear reflectors on their heads, because that's how you knew they were doctors.

I'm children's television

I'm the simple yet elegant accoutrements left on the coffee table so guests know they're free to light up in my home.

Of course the nicer homes provide cigarettes for their guests.

Up until the 1980s, nonsmokers allowed guests to smoke in their homes. Making a guest go outside to smoke was considered poor manners and being a bad host/hostess. It seems crazy now, but those were the rules of etiquette for many years.

I'm Marlboro which all the hippies smoked way back.

I'm the electrolarynx device and the breathing stoma you might get if you keep on smoking me.

Oh so cool.

I'm Helen Lawson's commercials for Silva Thins.

"The beautiful people smoke Silva Thins."

"Not like the fat cigarettes men smoke."

Talk about empowerment!

We used to call them Vagina Slimes. We are not proud of that.

I'm a modern cigarette for today's smoker.

I'm Gitanes. I'm popular with fashionable moms in the 80s. They like to light me up and wax nostalgically about the semester abroad they did in Paris ...before marrying and shitting out kids.

I’m a blue box of Dunhills— so much better than the red and green boxes.

I am not surprised at all that the prisspots of DL are listing all the "fancy" pretentious cig brands from the 80s like Dunhill. Not surprised at all.

If I could I'd commit suicide because I'm despicable.

[quote]I'm children's television

Those Flintstones cigarette commercials aired during the original run of the series, when "The Flintstones" aired in prime time. So I guess that made it okay.

I’m Camel Wides.

Galuloises, You Americans are so, so delicate. In France we smoke, we drink and we fuck.

I'm an always appreciated Christmas gift...

Fuck, and haven’t smoked in over 10 years, but this thread is making me want a Marlboro Light.

*I, not and

Marlboro Reds were the best, hands down. I tried everything at one time or another and those were my favorite.

R75 few Ivy Leaguers smoked flyoverstan brands, honey. What do you want?

Ricky died of lung cancer and Lucy would up talking like she did.

[quote]few Ivy Leaguers smoked flyoverstan brands, honey. What do you want?

PLEASE. Marlboro Reds and Marlboro Lights dominated the 80s and 90s.

R80, I love the holiday packaging!

In the Carter years my grandfather bought papers and loose tobacco and used a little machine to make his own. I guess he thought prices had just gone up too much. I tried them, they were pretty good. Probably fewer chemicals too,

You would walk into Dorrian's Red Hand and the bar and tables would be littered with packs of Marlbor Reds and Lights. And a few Camel Lights.

R86 not in my pretentious crowd.

Some might smoke Luckies and Camels, though.

r90 your crowd was an outlier. And everybody else laughed at them.

[quote] My aunt flaunted convention...

Oh, dear!

R83 Me, too. I smoked a pack of Marlboro Reds (box) every day for thirty years, with a few interruptions, like when I was abroad. No matter what else I tried, I always returned. I quit smoking cold turkey seven years ago.

Prince (Red) were also delicious and a pleasure to smoke, but they became nearly impossible to find.

VIRGINIA SLIMS last cigarette commercial January 1971.

I'm a clove. I'm the choice of goth kids, theater kids, gays, posers, and many stoners.

Marlboro Red is known to have the most tar and carcinogens out of any cigarette and additionally, each cigarette congains 10.9 milligrams of nicotine when on average a cigarette is said to contain 10.2 milligrams of nicotine

There are other cigs that are stronger than Marb Reds.

I don't care what I am so long as you tear the filter off me before setting me on fire.

I'm the cigs you buy on Indian reservations and they're just as good as the name brands.

I’m Peter Stuyvesant, Sith Efrica’s favorite cigarette!

I'm *cough* Miss *cough, cough* Di *cough* onne Warwick *cough, cough, cough* How 'bout twistin me up one dem spliffs o icky sticky, baby *cough, cough*

I'm...Alpine

I’m *bhhhheh* the puls *bhhhheh* ing ember *hngggh* of Brenda *bhhhheh* Vacaro’s *bhhhheh* Chesterfield Kings.

I’m the queens who make a big to-do about smoking as a way to virtue signal, but drink a jug of vodka a week, do poppers, drink 9 iced coffees a day, illegally take Adderall, do cocaine in bathrooms, shoot up roids to get summer abs and are constantly cycling an antibiotic from all their unprotected sex. They’ll be dead at 43.

Stop shaming, r105!

In college, a classmate smoked the red Dunhills. I was intrigued by the red and gold box. They tasted not great, though.

Anybody used to pack their cigarettes? I used to pack (hit the box / pack against my palm) to make the tobacco closer to the filter end. The tip would have about 1-2 mm of just paper and it was easier to light.

Probably totally unnecessary, but part of my ritual.

R107 Ritual was such a big part of it. Even into the early 2000s, popping a cig into my mouth the second I hit the streets. And "stepping outside to smoke" was such a fab break from a gathering or party with a likeminded, nicotine-stained soul. But my beautiful, classic Zippos might have been the hardest habit to break, so I didn't.... I've repurposed them for igniting my Astier de Villatte incense. Shoot me! But it works.

I'm the Heath ashtray I need to put on eBay...

R107 — Dunhills? Back when I started college I always carried a box of them with me, although I never actually smoked them. Like a silly poseur, I’d sit in some coffee shop, wearing my RayBans, holding the cig, thinking I looked— maybe sophisticated? I kind of cringe at that affectation but oh well.

I'm Nat Sherman's Fantasia and Black and Gold cigarettes, and I am sorely missed by at least one former customer.

I'm Sobranie Black Russian and Cocktail cigarettes. So sophisticated...even though the taste is like smoking cow manure.

Packing a pack of cigarettes is a necessity. The cigarette will burn cleaner, and you avoid that long cherry bomb coal accumulating as you smoke.

I'm the long cigarette holder, but only the very chic can pull off the look.

Damn those automatic elevator doors.

Jackie

I'm smoke rings...

Im the French inhale technique. My Great Aunt did this all the time wgen I was a kid. I'd watch fascinated.

I'm the Chesterfields that Lucille Ball kept in Philip Morris packages.

My cousin, still a smoker, could blow amazing smoke rings (way better than on this GIF). I tried, but could never get close to his ability.

R105 you are PREPOSTEROUS, not funny, and PATHETIC.

I'm all those cig brands from the past that are now gone - Lark, True, Benson & Hedges, Vantage and Kent.

I'm a little tune about countin' ciggies...

I'm one of these. The last time I used one was at a Big Boy restaurant in 1987. It sat just outside the restrooms.

I’m the interesting conversations. Only available among fellow smokers, not to square non-smokers.

Marlboro Redsh are the besht Shigarettesh!

r117, r119 A man who can do either of those makes my hole tingle!
