just wondering, do any of you smoke? if so, what are youre favorite stogies and cigarettes?

my favorite cigarettes are marlboro menthol lights and 100s/superlong kools.

swisher sweets are good cigars but they i only use for special occasions.

No cigarrettes. Ever. The most I smoke is cheap cigars, Swisher Sweets and Garcia Y Vega. That's about it. And only when golfing, or some other recreational activity.

I have smoked a grand totall of 3 packs of marlboro lights (kings in a box) but then the realization that I have acute asthema hit me, that and a severe case of (sp)bronchitis.

I smoke Black & Milds and Al Capones from time to time, there is something soothing to me in the aestetic of smokeing, like the ritual of a heroin addict

Capones are probably one of my favorite "cigars" because they're in a cigarette form

Capones are probably one of my favorite "cigars" because they're in a cigarette form [/b][/quote]never heard of capones

I used to smoke a little when I was younger (like 15 or 16), then came to the realization. "Hey, this killed my grandmother, it'll probably kill my sister, and my dad, what the hell am I doing?!" Smoking is stupid, pure and simple. There are no benefits to smoking any type of tobacco, and those who say it helps relieve stress are just weak. I don't look down on smokers as human beings, I just think they're making a stupid mistake. I fell victim to it when I was younger, not through peer pressure, but through peer influence. Never again. It's stupid.

Neither did I until a friend of mine pointed them out to me at a gas station in Texas. They're real cheap too

they're like hybrid cigar/cigs, they are the size of cigs, but are wrapped like cigars. They are also sweet, the ends are dipped in conac or I forget the other option. They come in plastic cases of probably 20.

I smoke du MAURIERs and I enjoy a nice R&J, Cohiba or Montecristo every now and then.

Capone Sweets (Cognac-dipped) cigarillos are awesome -- I tried them last year when I was trying to quit cigs. They're $7 for a box of 10 at the bar, but cheaper online by the case. I still have some from a year ago - hope they're still good.

I'm not proud of it, but, I've smoked on/off since I was rockin' and rollin' at 17, and no cig is better than a Camel. Way above Winston, and everything else. Marlboro's are just plain awful. :p

I wish it was easier to quit cigs, cuz I'm really getting sick of it. I'm not much of a cigar person, but, those Capone Sweets are damn good!

I used to smoke cigarettes (Cartier), but gave up a couple of years ago. I'm feeling much better, but there are times, especially at my coffee-breaks, I would like so much to be still an unwise smoker.

I smoke L&M but also I like Lucky Strike and Marlboro reds.

I smoked Marlboro Menthol for over a year before I finally quit about a month ago. I smoke some other things though. Philly Blunt cigars are also great. I finally got to try a Cuban too and it was sensational.

I like Luck Strikes unfiltered (makes me feel like Bogart with his Chesterfields) and Capones.

I also enjoy big, fat cigars and sitting in a sun room while watching the Lucky Strikes run down to my finger.

I don't smoke like a smoker. For some reason (thank God) I don't seem to be addicted. I usually have some Lucky Strikes at a friends house a couple of times a week or some cigars, but always stop for a few weeks at a time to make sure I'm not addicted. Seems to be working. The lucky Strike unfiltered cigs are very intense and produce a lot of smoke. My favorite.

They still make those???

I just stopped smoking (about a month ago) after 40 years. I figure I smoked about 750,000 ciggies over the years and they cost me about $90,000 (to say nothing of what they did to my health) ... it was time to stop.

Let me just clarify that I'm not a smoker. I just smoke maybe a couple of times a year whenever I'm ever in the mood (which isn't most of the time). Usually I don't even like doing it but sometimes I'm in the mood. I drink more than anything though

Nothing is better than a Capone and some Wild Turkey.

The Doc

I don't think I've ever had Wild Turkey but I would like to try it. I've seen it in some movies but I'm not a liquor drinker really. Beer's my vice

Yeah, great for smoking pot.

Congrats, SC!!

Congrats, SC!!

[/b][/quote]Double clap on that one.




I'm sure Ozzy Baby loves you for it.

SC - That's great!! I'm very happy for you. I've gotten down to three packs a week (very strictly rationed), but I still haven't been able to quit entirely. I remember that my dad got down to four cigarettes per day - one after every meal, and one around 8 or 9 at night. His doctor told him that if he had the willpower to cut down that much, then he should just quit period. He eventually did.

Anyway, that's terrific, SC. I know how tough it is, and I'm very proud of you!!

SC, big congrats to you!

Several of my dad's family members have suffered the consequences of smoking, and he also smokes, unfortunately. He's tried to quit several times, and I've tried to help him quit several times, but it's very hard for him. I just pray that he can, someday, and if not, that he can keep healthy and safe for as long as possible. It's a terrible thing, and I hope more and more people can "see the light" and realize what a danger it is.

To those of you who have mentioned you'd like to quit, I commend you for this, and I hope all of you can succeed in beating smoking.

It is my opinion that once a smoker truly realizes exactly what it is they are doing when they smoke a cigarette, it is in that pivotal moment that they realize how stupid it is, and they quit. As a person who used to smoke, I can sympathize with some of the reasons people smoke. But I don't believe that "addicted" smokers are so much "addicted smokers" as they are "habit smokers." My dad for example. When my dad drives to Salisbury (a town about thirty miles north of where I live), he has a cigarette at every stop light along the way (I live in a VERY rural area, so there's roughly one stop light every 10 miles). It's his "smoking routine", his habit.

I smoked for the first time when I was 13, and I smoked occasionally until I was 15, then I just started to smoke on a regular basis. Then one day, that "pivotal moment" occurred. I was smoking a cigarette, and it hit me, like a ton of bricks. "David, what the hell are you doing to yourself?" I threw that cigarette down, and haven't touched one since. I realized how incredibly stupid it is. There is no good excuse to smoke.

SC, I'm proud of you, and I'm proud of anyone who wants to quit. It's a truly great accomplishment, an accomplishment not easily reached.

Don't know about the rest of you guys, but you haven't lived till you've had bubblegum cigarettes.

I don't smoke, never have never will, I personally think its pointless! May aswell roll up a £5 note and smoke it waste of money.

The other day I tried a cigar for the first time, it was okay.

Don V, those look tasty.

I only smoke in my sleep; when thinking of Belmondo in A bout de souffle.

Mick

Wow SC, that's such a great decision you made. My dad used to smoke for more than 30 years, then suddenly 16 years ago, he gave it up just like he'd never been smoking. He used to smoke 2 packs a day.
A few years later, when one of his friends offered him cigarettes; he said that he'd quitted. His friend told him that he has not been a real smoker because a real smoker can never go on without cigarettes. He had told him, "Look buddy, I was inhaling the damn thing so deep that it was coming out of my car's exhaust pipe".

Anyway, that made me so proud of him and I'm very happy for you that you quitted.
