favourite cigarette

james no.1

i work in a newsagents and it's interesting to see which people buy which smokes. scauldy types seem to go for johnnie blue or major. woman and poshies seem to choose marlboro light or silk cut. older guys go for benson and students go for camel. then cheap ppl go for pall mall which taste mank. personally i like winston blue but no one buys these except spanish tourists. what's your favourite cigarette?
nb. no smoking kills bs please

I think it's actually true though:eek:

DEFTLEFTHAND

Marlboro Red.

mikemac1

When I smoked I liked Carrolls

I tried Benson & Hedges and Major but found them too strong
Tried Silk Cut Purple but too weak, popular with the wimmins though

So I liked Carrolls, they were just right. And they were make in Dundalk I think

Do they even make these anymore?
I don't know since shops don't have displays

Colmustard

Cigarette advertising is illegal.

Execute the OP.

yeah anyone who buys extra long skins...we all know what thats for
surprisingly few buy the classic marlboro red or lucky strike. but you should all try winston. give it a chance you wont be disappointed

niallu

L&M blue.

Unfortunately not sold over here so I stock up when on holidays.

If I'm forced into buying Irish cigs, I'd usually get Marlboro lights.

sounds like you're conscious of your habit and are switching to a weaker smoke to make yourslef feel better but really it's just as bad if not worse cos youll overcompensate by buying more to get the effect. so just smoke something proper not bitch smokes no offence man :P

I was a Marlboro lights guy or Amber Leaf for rollies. I'm off them now. I miss them not.

I've seen stereotypes for pretty much every cigarette but them. In America they're southern cowboy types (pretty much like their advertising.) I've never seen a stereotype for outside America though.

Such as:
Johnny Blue: Knackers
Marlboro Lights: Lovies and posers
Benson and Hedges: Mid-thirty to mid-forty marketing types.
Silk Cut: Fake smokers
Drum: Hippies and people waiting for a paycheque
Amber Leaf: Younger hippies and stoners
All the cheapy ones: People being cheap
Major: Serious old-school smokers
Marlboro Red: ???

I was a big pall mall red smoker. But since Im so cheap, I buy amber leaf rolling tobacco. Its all I can afford at this stage.

westendgirlie

Cant go wroung with the skins and filters job. Some times though I find it a pain in the arse to have to go and roll.

BunShopVoyeur

Bastards!!! I miss smoking.

james no.1

another stereotype is rothmans is only ever smoked by really old women. and any menthols are bought by women

byte

I remember being told not to smoke Rothmans coz the filters were fibreglass... as if the toxins and so forth weren't bad for you.

mauzo

And vogue are only smoked by complete and utter twats. Worked in a shop for a year and I'd say they were bought 5 times.

I've smoked all the major brands by now.

Started out with Benson and Hedges because they had a gold box.
John Player Blue because everyone at school smoked them.
Marlboro Red because no-one else smoked (or wanted) them.
Samson because you could get it cheap from the dodgy guy on the street.
Drum because it's cheaper when I'm coming up to pay day.
Lucky Strike because they're different.
Marlboro Lights because I ended up with a fair amount for free.
Silk Cut because my granny smoked them.

I'd happily switch between B&H, Marlboro Red and Lucky Strike now though. The rest I find awful.

It's rather telling when I go in and ask for blue Rizla and 20 Johnny Blue, you'd nearly want to buy the damn things in seperate shops!

I think you should check your grammar here. If I'm right you have just said that if you do not smoke it will kill you.

I think the sentence you needed to produce should of being " no, smoking kills"

Thanks for listening.

I always feel so awkward buying them, it's so obvious like. Why are they even legal to sell?

Isn't this also incorrect? " No 'smoking kills' " would be better.

You've a bit of a neck criticizing someone's grammar when your grasp of the language is barely average.... "should of being"???

Anywho, when I used to smoke it was mainly B&H although I smoked Carroll's, Major, JP blue, Rothmans and Silk Cut purple for Periods of time also.

Hold on a minute! My JTI rep didn't tell me that the Winston sales commision promotion had started already??:eek:

I like the way you held back the real reason for your post till post #10

Fellow boardsies, he doesn't really give a fiddlers what or why you smoke what you do

Mugatuu

Used to smoke benson, then smoked amber leaf in college and now I smoke malbro trying to curve the habit not really working considering I'd fly through the box in a day

Malboro lights on payday..(yes, I am a respectable girl)

The rest of the week, I have resorted to rolling amber leaf! My rolling skills are still a bit hasty tho! But smokable!

Queen-Mise

Couldn't remember all the different cigarettes I have smoked.

Now I smoke long ones - if I smoke normal length I'll go through nearly 20 a day. Smoking long ones I'll smoke 10 or 11 a day. Keeps the cost down a lot.

I usually smoke Marlboro Lights 100's if they don't have them I'll smoke JPS Blue.

I am a Benson man.

orlyice

im super posh with my all white cigarettes with the interesting button on the filter...

tis ony silk cut choice, used to smoke half silk cut purple and then click for the mint, but now i smoke it all menthol

also handy when OH run out of fags, he doesnt like menthol

pal mall click are grand too

westendgirlie

A mate of mine smokes silk cut slims. They're the thickness of a filter. One drag and the things gone!

BeerSteakBirds

I've cut back on smoking a lot because I can't afford them. If I smoke when drunk it would ideally be Marlboro Red or Lucky Strike Red.

Jesus Wept

Found a pack of camels on the bus home last night, 15 cigs in it.
Don't smoke though.

Will sell for €6 ono

Charlie19

I'm a " scauldy type" smoker.

CavanCrew

I'm sure whoever bought them has the hump now
I started off with B&H. Since then I've tried Carrolls, Silk Cut purple and choice, Superking menthol, Marlboro ordinary and lights and John Player blue and red. For any of ye with problems rolling cigarettes there's a machine out now that rolls them for you.
