What cigarettes do you smoke?

Conor84 · 08-03-2016 09:17PM #1

I was at a wedding at the weekend down the country and went to get cigarettes and got John Player Blue and one of the lads said oh I thought only Dublin knackers smoked them! Well he was half right.

Nobody else seemed to be smoking JPB there. I've smoked them since I started smoking at school and most of my mates smoke them too. At work though Marlboro Lights, Bensons and Amber Leaf are the main ones.

Got me thinking about the different brands and why people go for what they do? What are most popular now?

JPB seems to be a Dublin thing alright, nobody I know down the country smokes them. Mentholated cigarettes seem to be making a comeback.

The expensive ones that are killing me.

I used to smoke benson and hedges. I miss them.

Anyone remember John player lights? They were all the go back in the day..

I don't smoke anymore. But when I started at the age of 16 I used to smoke JPB and Camels (I'm from Clare if that makes any difference). I moved on to rollies a year later, mainly dark blue Drum, then classic Amber Leaf due to it's cheapness. Even though I knew Amber Leaf was incredibly inferior to most tobaccos, every other type of rollie just felt weird and not the same. There was something about Amber Leaf that made me not want to smoke anything else!

A year ago I quit though

One of the best decisions of my life and I implore everyone to do the same even though I know that's probably not what you want to hear in this thread! I will leave now.

They rebranded to John player red, snap more recently to John player blue special. They're a good bit cheaper than the regular jpb.

So, anyone who smokes, eats junk food or drinks alcohol is suicidal?

No cancer sticks for me thanks!

They're not made any more either

Woodbine are a lot healthier than any of the chemical modern muck. Speaking of Player's, do you still get the Navy Cut? Now there was a smoke

Despite being long term suicidal in the past, and occasionally still being suicidal, I've still never smoked a single cigarette ever. How odd.

That's like saying despite being suicidal in the past I've never jumped off a bridge.

Amber Leaf is fecking manky, but when my BF moved up to Dublin he said he was getting fierce slagging off people for smoking Drum, which was apparently 'rotten culchie tobacco' and not half as sophisticated as the Amber Leaf they were all smoking...

Yes, because I really do smoke WW2 issue cigarettes.

It's really really not, and even making that comparison with smoking cigarettes shows a severe lack of understanding on suicide, and what suicide is about....

The good oul Marlboro Reds; surprised more people don't smoke them over here

liam7831 · 08-03-2016 09:36PM

Cutters Choice anyone.......

Hugo Stiglitz · 08-03-2016 09:36PM

I'm a Marlboro Lights man.
