At the liquor store, they were out of my usual Camel Lights, so I picked up a soft pack of old school unfiltered camels.
Popped the top like a pro, lit my first with my trusty zippo, and damn! Three puffs and I had a serious buzz! These things are nuts! Make my usual lights look like good clean air. |

LOL. From lights to "shorties" is gonna make a bit of a difference. 
Didn't think to grab a pack of Marlboro lights or P-Funk lights? They were out of everything. Parliaments or Marlboros wouldn't have been bad if they'd had them. Damn. You need a new liquor store. |

Do they have that faggotty "fire safe" shit out in CO? Nope. We are still a free state in that regard. I quit when Illinois went to the FSC's. They taste like shit. I miss old school Camel Lights with coffee, beer, after dinner...etc.  Sometimes Turkish Golds or silvers.

Quoted: Quoted: Just roll your own. Drum Shag is pretty decent. Tell me about it. I've been wanting to try that. Whats the best way to go? Drum. Hand rolled. You can roll a tiny smoke or a massive smoke depending on your preference at the time. I smoked Drum almost exclusively for several years. Be forewarned - smoking unfiltered smokes will stain your fingers much worse than filtered smokes ever could. |

Was chattin with the old man (Bob) who owned our construction yard one day. He smoked Camel non-filters. He had one goin and this young kid who labored for me came walkin up to us and pulled out a Marlboro light and fired it up.
Bob looked over at him and with a Camel hangin out of the corner of his mouth barked. "When'd ya quit smokin?" He's dead now, I think he got wore out fom draggin that oxygen bottle around with him. |
| Go to a tobacco store and get a pouch of drum european blend. Then go home and look up how to roll a cigarette. Its easy and just takes practice. Then take a potato peel and put it in your tobacco pouch to keep the tobacoo moist. Its a lot easier to roll when it is partially damp and isnt as intense. |

My great grandpa smoked filterless Camels and Lucky Strikes all his life. He died at 102 from a heart attack shoveling snow. You have good genes. My grandfather puffed unfiltered Chesterfields. Bye-bye at 75, emphysema, heart attack. And he was a doc! 
I figure I got a 50/50 chance at aging well. On my dads side they all seem to make it at least to their 90's barring accidents, murder or in my grandpas case 40 years of breathing asbestos in a factory. My paternal grandmother is 84 years old and just last year I watched her chase her dog three blocks down the street, full sprint, barefoot and catch the damn thing when it got out of the yard. Every year she plants a 1/4 acre garden and rototills, hoes, weeds and harvests it herself. My dad is 56 and in better shape than most 30 year olds. Of course they are all a bunch of Kentucky hillbillies so that may have something to do with it. On my moms side of the family I am not aware of anybody who made it much past 70. |

I normally smoked Camel filters but most of last week smoked unfiltered, the only problem I have with them is that it is tough to find a place that sells unfiltered Camels that haven't been sitting on the shelf for five years. The bad thing is that I really like the unfiltered, but switched back to filters this week because unfiltered just seems like a bad idea, and I couldn't find a single place that sells Lucky's unfiltered, and I prefer the Lucky's to Camels.
I smoked Lucky Strike unfilthered when I first started, I had a buddy who lived with his grandfather, and his grandfather would give him a pack or two when he was short on cash, so we just got used to them I guess. A year or so later I switched to Camel filters, and smoked those for years, in the late ninties Camel came out with the Turkish Royals, and after one pack I switched to those until they stopped making them a couple of years ago, I switched back to Camel filters after a couple months of Marlboro reds our of protest. |

I'm a D&R fan, Ramback Balkan and also their Perique blends. ETA: D&R buys the leaf whole and then processes,packages and ships it themselves. So you know WHERE your tobacco came from. All of D&R's tobaccos are additive-free. They do add flavoring topping to some of their tobaccos, but not all. Really good stuff. Before I started using D&R's stuff, I was a pack a day Marlboro Light smoker. I now average 8-10 per day. Not getting the chemical additives was a huge step for me. My GF says I smell like "burning leaves", and not like a regular ashtray. Definitely go RYO/MYO, at the very least. It is cheaper, even with SCHIP on our backs. D&R's Tobacco Store, Trisha's Cafe List of D&R's tobaccos with descriptions at RYO Revolution RYO Revolution also has a forum If anyone wants more info, LMK. And for the record, I have set a goal to quit smoking July 4, 2010.

Compared to smoking in general? Don't get me wrong I smoke but being health consious about your brand or style of coffin nail seems amusing. |

It maybe silly, but it makes sense to me. At least I am not out there worrying about the sky falling, or the ice cap melting becuase of the people who drive SUVs and use AC.
We all have silly notions, some are sillier than others. I know some people who will shit a brick of you dry fire a 10/22, some people will go full retard if they hear some tool use clip insteand of magazine, I don't know, we are all silly in our own ways. If I go to worrying about everything I will end up dead anyway, they haven't cured old age or stupid yet. |
