When I did smoke, the progression was like this: Marlboro Menthol Salem Newport (they always had a 2 for 1 special going) Kool Kool unfiltered (I was trying to act like I was tough) Lucky Marlboro light Winston light Camel light That’s pretty much all of them, 'eh? ---

I backpacked through South-East Asia for about 9 months, and left home with a 1 mg menthol habit (for the Yanks, 1 mg is the weakest cig) I began on Winfield 12 mg, and had cut down a strength every time I had the flu, until I reached 1 mg. Knowing that it was impossible to get weak cigs in Asia, I decided that my last cig at the airport, was the last for the rest of my life… hahaha I smoked the roughest, harshest, throat-burning, lung-murdering cigs in the world !!! And quite a few American rip-offs. It’s a wonder I can still talk (my voice did deepen a little) I then went on to spend about 5 months in Europe, and sampled some very nice smooth brands (Poland was reminiscent of some of the Asian brands, though) and took joy in trying new varieties. When I got back to good old Australia, I went on a tasting spree, and tried every cig available… ahhh the days… I have since quit, and though I remember liking the taste at the time, I shudder at the thought of all the crap I inhaled into my lungs, ewwwww :eek: :mad: ---

Winston Lights. I prefer the soft pack, because the sharp edges on the hard packs poke at my already sore hangnails when I dig the cigs out of my bag, and that could cause a cut and then maybe an infection, and if my hangnails got infected from the sharp edges of a cigarette pack, that would be bad for my health and I wouldn’t want _that_! ---

On the rare occasions that I buy cigarettes, Kamel ( **NOT** Camel) Lights or Menthe. I like the Kamel Menthe because of their cool packaging, mostly. If those are not available, Marlboro Milds. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Spoonbender \* > \*\*Jeez, doesn’t anybody else here smoke cloves? \*\* Djarum, but the last time I smoked cloves was a long time ago, back when I used to regularly go to a goth nightclub. I like them, but they make me hoarse. ---

I usually smoke either Djarum Supers or Sampoerna Classics, but when I’m at a party I’ll smoke whatever I can bum off people when I run out of my own. ---

Marlboro reds, box please. These are the most available US cigarettes no matter where you are in the world, but the consistency is different across the globe. ---
