    Marlboro lights or JPBs. I haven't smoked since Sunday, so hopefully I never will again.

    Smoking Trivia


    Because Ireland lagged so far behind the rest of Europe when it came to banning TV advertising, all new ciggarette brands were trialed in Ireland.

    If they could not get a market share with in 10/11 months they were dropped.

    Marboro Gold

    Smoked Carroll's, strictly to support the local industry you understand. Now they've upped sticks it's Carroll's/Benson/Marlboro Red depending on what my funds and mood are.

    Pall Mall
    By 'Virginia Gold' I presume you meant 'Golden Virginia'?
    Anyway its self rolled all the way for me. Usually Old Holborn, Drum or Golden Virginia.

    Worst cigarettes ever are 'Safari' from Kenya. At 70c for a pack of 20 I still smoked them.

    I smoke very rarely, but when I do, it is L&M which cost 7.75 and are very smokable. Smoked everything though, major, rothmans (fcuking rank) B&H john player blue, malboro, carrolls, silk cut etc etc.

    Dunhill
    Pall Mall blue these days... used to be Silk Cut Purple but with Pall Malls being a bit cheaper I switched.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭Hande hoche!


    Camel yellow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,511 ✭✭✭actuallylike


    i have no time for sin sticks

    Why did you bother answering? This thread is clearly not for you.

    Camel Blue myself, had to change from saying Camel Lights cause i find it confuses some shop assistants. It's illegal to have the word 'light' on cigarettes
    in Ireland so half the time, they'd give me the the yellow pack assuming that was the light one.

    The new dark pack is annoying though, it certainly isn't 'blue' and it certainly does not look 'light'!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,196 ✭✭✭pyramuid man


    Rothmans
    I was always a benson man, but on holiday I got into L&M blues. Didn't know they were available here. /runs off to shop to buy some.

    In Indonesia at the moment and they are serious smokers here. The country has a population of 255 million (4th largest in the world after China, India and Us).

    Practically everyone here smokes. It's unreal. Even on minibuses, buses, restaurants. Everywhere. What's really sad is that women have their kids on their lap and there they are smoking away.

    Anyway, not only do they smoke loads here, but their cigarettes are seriously bad for you.

    I smoke Marlboro Red, which are considered one of the strongest brands you get at home. I compared the Tar and Nicotine of a Marlboro with a popular local brand and these were the results:



    Marlboro Tar= 13mg

    Local Brand Tar= 38mg


    Marlboro Nicotine = 1.0mg

    Local Brand Nicotine 2.9mg



    I mean, what the fuuck?

    And all brands over here are like that. Crazy.

    I roll joints with John Player Blues. Drum ruins the taste of weed.

    Drum Lite (or Bright Blue as I think it's called now) with TWO (not three) blue skins is the perfect combo.

    Major
    Johnny Blue FTW!!

    Them new Blue moon packs are a bit strange though!

    Anyone else get them?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 609 ✭✭✭GA361


    Silk cut Blue

    Good old John Player blue ever since Woodbines disappeared.:D
    Yeah, they used to be my second choice, Woodbines that is, but I haven't found one shop here in Dublin that sells them. The first shop I walk into in Athy they have them. It must be a country fag now :)

    Same as Rothmans.

    Marboro Gold
    I like Marlboro Red and John Player Blue. I don't really like Marlboro Lights. They also seem to be the cigarette of choice for posh students.

    Their Marlboro even seems to be worse than the Marlboro over here. Funny how those cigarettes are so bad, makes one wonder what the DIY ones being made on the QT over here are like.

    Rothmans
    Benson smoker here....If I can't get Benson it's Marlboro Red or Marlboro Lights.
