I've been smoking Mild Seven Lights or Ultra Lights for the past month. They're good and cheap. A carton was 2000yen at the airport. I like how in Japan they list the nicotine and tar levels on every cigarette. I wish it was like that in the US.

I also bought a pack of Cohiba Cigarillos Negros. They're the harshest cigarettes I've ever tried. I don't inhale and it's like a mini cigar. Very tasty. Can't get them in the US...

I'm hoping to smoke some of them in high traffic areas on campus and see if I can attract any former clove smokers that will buy them off of me, haha.

It's sickening that the tobacco companies were able to buy off the government and get Djarum made illegal. The convergence of a nanny state and corporatism is sad.

I used to love Nat Sherman Classics in the brown book-style box. Loved them with wine, loved them with coffee, loved them after sex. To me, explaining the allure of cigarettes to a non-smoker is like explaining the allure of women to an eight year old boy who thinks girls are "icky."

What I've learned since quitting though is that the buzz you get from being a self-righteous prick non-smoker is far better than nicotine. If I had known that I would have quit long before.

Is there a Cigerette that is similar to Dunhills? I love Dunhills but there is only one place I can get them and its fairly far away plus there $8 a pack so I have limited myself to a pack a month.

lol funny ****.

I've been rolling my own now. I tried Danish Export first. It is really nice, very smooth and has a good taste. Slightly more nicotine than I was used to (smoking ultra lights), but it's all natural. I recently picked up a new blend from Holt's. It's Virginia and Turkish tobaccos aged with Tennessee whiskey and some Latakia. It tastes very flavorful and smooth, although a bit sweet. I may cut it with some Danish Export.

I recently ordered some "dual-purpose" pipe tobacco, meant to be used for cigarettes. It's really cheap. 16 bucks a pound. They circumvent the new taxes, because it doesn't apply to pipe tobacco. I hope I like it. It'll be less than 50 cents a pack if it does.

Dunhills are made in a variety of countries and would vary taste-wise. Best are UK-made, next Swiss, then other ****-places. UK Dunhills have a very distinct taste hard to imitate

I know this goes against the purpose of this thread, but has anyone used Allen Carr's book to quit smoking? Some people I respect have recommended it. I sat down with it at lunch, and 3 chapters in, he's still just beating his chest about all the people he's helped to quit smoking.

That has a purpose. It's to make you think, holy **** this guy helped all these people stop smoking I bet he can help me too. It puts you in a frame of mind that makes the following advice more effective. Or at least that's the bullshit theory I just came up with. Also, Nat Shermans are pretty good.
