They banned my go to

I dont smoke anymire. I smoked for 15 years.

I tried getting addicted to smoking for the brain gains, but it never worked. I bought two juuls, two of that style of american spirits, and a menthol pack, and smoked my way through all of them, but it was just boring

>>19349112
Based. I smoked for 7 and quit about 7 years ago. You don't even miss them after the first year or so

These or Black & Mild wood tips, preferably Casino or Wine.

i roll my own smokes either with a machine and filtered tubes or with regular hemp papers using Good Stuff tobacco, i like Gloria Cubana cigars, i like captain black pipe tobacco (or whatever smells good at my tobacconist's), i like Hjortron snus, and i only buy vapes as a treat

broke my fucking pipe in a drunken stupor the other day, can't buy another cause they are expensive as fuck.
Fuck me

American Spirit Yellow when out on the move, but mostly just a vape for a quick puff here and there.
Cigarillos when hanging out somewhere, at home I roll myself with Pueblo tobacco and some CBD in it for taste.

>>19349467
If it makes you feel better I spilled water on my gaming computer after finishing a 12 pack like a retard. What kind of pipe was it?

>>19349423
Is brain gain even real? All cigarettes ever gave me was a headache. I don't mind people smoking around me though.

>>19349095
I've never been a fan of cigs. Smells shit, tastes like shit, expensive, etc. I dunno what people see in them. Don't really mind people smoking though, especially if they're outside.
Pipe tobacco does smell really good though. I'd keep some of that around just for the aroma

>>19349095
Real ass nigger.

Man I tried getting addicted to cigs too and just ended up bored and hating the flavor of my own breath. I even went out with some buds and tried a few cigars. I don't understand why people smoke.

Oddly enough I'm kinda an alcohol and don't know why I drink anymore but can't seem to quit.

>>19349695

>Is brain gain even real?
The mental performance gains from nicotine are all well documented. Hell nicotine brought both the renaissance and the American golden age of invention before tobacco products got laced with all kind of noxious bullshit just to cut costs and increase profits

>>19349742
>adding ingredients cut costs
The additives are there to try and mellow out the harshness of raw tobacco, and it's mostly in the filters. It's there because of pussies

Brown Non-Filter>Black Perique>Turquoise Organic.

>>19349637
I rarely smoke Condor Long Cut, the pinnacle of pipe tobaccos

Cigars are great but too pricey for the experience (euro tax)

Cigarettes are just foul

>>19349695
Alcoholism is a dreadful way to go - you end up all yellow with your belly swelling up like a pregnant lady before you start throwing up your own blood and then dying. At least cigs can give you a heart attack

>>19349841
no one is making you roll with a filter anon

>>19350016
I don't, that's why none of that shit applies to me.
>rolling your own
It's not 1870 anymore, just buy a small cigar

>>19349986
>>19349986
are unfiltered ciggies healthier than filtered?

>>19350080
Not really, but they aren't any less healthy either. The supposed reduction in tar quantities from filters is almost entirely bullshit. Cigarette manufacturers put perforations in the filter paper to increase airflow which reduces the level of tar when they test the cigarettes. Most people will either intentionally or subconsciously put their lips over the perforations when smoking to get a fuller bodied drag.

I Vape mango-anise my broski's

>>19349986
>>19350108
Insider tip: the orange, yellow, blue, menthols, and the non-organic and non perique are all the same tobacco and paper. The only thing that changes are the filter.

Also, most people report smoking way less and eventually quitting because of american spirits. Its just tobacco and no chemicals so it just weens the body off the rest of the shit that makes you addicted.

>>19349095
Why are cig threads even on /ck/? You don't eat them or cook with them. At least alcohol is drank and cooked with

>>19350735

>>19350735
t. never tried Marlboro ice cream

>>19350735
Smoking tobacco pairs with both alcohol, and food. Tobacco can even be used directly in the cooking, or brewing process of coffee, etc.

>>19350789
A whole thread for it though? Normal tobacco/cooking recipes sure, maybe a few posts here and there, but nobody has even mentioned food or cooking in this thread yet

I suggest looking into indian reservations where there are no taxes.

>>19350806
Which board would be better for discussing the consumption of a widely available product at every convenience store?

Sin taxes are a bunch of shit and everyone knows it and if we can avoid it we will. We dont need the pathetic social control from the government morons.

>>19350838
None. One doesn't bring that up into some public forum so the cunts from the government will shut it down. Once you know it you never say it in a public forum.

Sin taxes and social engineering taxes is no way that our government should do anything.

>American Spirit Blue
>American Spirit Dark Green
>Lucky Strike

Kamel Reds back in the day
but now I vape...
I don't get American Spirits, they feel like the filter is too dense, like I can't get a pleasent drag outta them

>>19353120
Do you pack them? It's not recommended to pack American Spirits because they are already packed pretty tight.

>>19353134
maybe that was it then, I haven't had one in many years.

>>19349109
Nigger

>>19353163
I guess so. You know it's funny, I tried numerous kinds of smoke and settled one one particular kind, then the government banned it. Several years later I found out that my late grandpa also smoked the same thing. So I can't even go have a smoke in memory of him now. People call this progress.

>>19353053
best cheap brand for someone getting into cigar smoking

>>19349109
>>19353304
Where are you from that they ban cigarette brands? What was it that you smoked?

>>19353692
Colorado banned sale of menthols and flavored cigars to “protect minorities.” That was literally the governor’s rationale. Curiously, they still sell flavored cigarillos like prime times. I smoke Lucky Strike Reds because I’m a white man and also a cheapskate. Oh, should mention that Colorado also passed a law that all packs of cigarettes MUST be priced at $7 a pop pre tax as a way to “protect” people, and raised the age to buy smokes and vape products to 21. Nanny state faggot crap.

>>19353477
well my number one recommendation is to find a cigar lounge with a quality humidor and some staff that give half a shit. I wouldn't be after a specific brand more than a well taken care of, properly humidified cigar, and I couldn't tell whats in stock around you.
Having said that, Perdomo sells five packs of humidified pouches. Get the champagne, or any CT shade really. Some people might recommend some of the higher end flavored cigars but I think if you're actually interested in cigars you should try a shade leaf

What percentage of bros to douches in cigar land?

>>19354518
extremely high rate of bros. smoking cigars really mellows people out. I am primarily a bartender and I can count on one hand the number of shitty customers I've had at the lounge. Someone willing to spend the money and time commitment on smoking a good cigar aren't typically going to be douchers. Yes, there can be a certain level of peacocking and I'm sure it's worse in say Florida, but typically I've found cigar smokers to be one the chillest groups I've experienced in hospitality.

Been thinking about picking some corncob pipes so I have something to puff on while I'm walking the dog at night

I never heard of this being official before but yeah cigarettes are definitely nootropic

>>19349986
same

>>19349986
Never tried these, but blacks and turquoise organic both taste like shit so.. sucks because they should be good on paper which is why I tried them. Your whole post has that good on paper feel to it no offense, nonfilters, the pack with the most nicotine, the organic equivalent to the most popular pack. Maybe good on paper is good and just not for me, anyway I will stick with classic light blue.

How did you get the job? I was thinking of getting a summer job at a cigar shop/lounge during university.

Absolutely sensational tobacco, without a doubt my favourite

our lounge is also a bar, I needed a new bartending job and they were hiring simple as that. But bartenders are in high demand it was easy. Just check indeed and give it a shot.
>>19355331
honestly we don't carry Arturo Fuentes, I'm sure it's a fine cigar and a lot of people ask for it. People don't generally act like that anyways, no one is going to look down on you for what you're smoking unless it's like a backwoods or dutch. I smoke everything honestly but my favorites are Padron, Plasencia, and Black Works Studio

>>19355860
Do you carry Partagas? And if you do, do you still have any of those limited release Extra Oscuros? Second-darkest maduro I ever smoked. Love em

>>19349095
Cigarettes American spirits doesn’t matter which they’re all good
Vaporizers lost Mary. They have a new luster series that’s pretty good.

>>19355872
I don't carry Patargas. A lot of Drew Estate almost half the humidor. Lots and lots of Liga Privada.

>>19354515
Most of my extended family are lifelong, often heavy, smokers. On average they die older than their life expectancy, and there's been no known case of cancer back a couple generations (we simply don't know further back).
So, as it seems, we just have good genetics.

Pipe smoker here, usually 3 or 4 times a week. Low enough my doctor and dentist both classify it as statistically insignificant and unlikely to meaningfully increase any health risks.

Not that any tobacco use is truly risk free, but if it’s low enough that even my doctor and dentist don’t care, then I think that’s worth it for me.

I like cigars but rarely can devote the time to really enjoy one unless I’m at the cottage or something similar. The only drawback is that pipe smoking looks fedora-tier so I don’t like anyone seeing it.

Picrel is the latest additions to my ever expanding collection of tobaccos

Nta but I recommend the tabak especial maduro if yore in the mood for something sweet. For me it tastes like puffing on a chocolate milkshake.

>>19356635
I like a tabak every now and then, we carry the full deadwood line too and those aren't bad of you want something sweet. I've had the macanudo cappuccino and that was one of my favorite flavored cigars.
If you're just after flavored the blackened series is a great triple maduro

>>19356678
after maduro*

gold leaf, licorice papers

>>19355957
Exactly for the fedora reason I roll pipe tobacco in a brown rolling paper and smoke it outside like a cigarillo.

Stopped smoking years ago, not even for health reasons just because I got sick of it. Cigarettes are not tasty and the high it gives you is weaker than what you get just doing a little sprint to the bus. Utterly pointless, I'll smoke a cigar now and then but cigarettes are truly just a way to rake in money from retards.

>>19358501
100%. It’s insane how much shit they pump into cigs. Cigs (minus the few untreated brands available) are just tobacco sawdust used as a carrier for chemicals. It might as well be cotton soaked in the chems for all it contributes.

I worked in a cigarette factory for 1,5 years. People saying there's a bunch of chemicals in cigarettes or that it's sawdust have no idea. It's literally cut and dries tobacco leaves wrapped into a paper and with a filter stuck on. Adding anything or sorting the tobacco in some way would make the production process unnecessarily expensive. Sometimes they add sugar or cocoa to some cigarettes but it's minor and expensive.

>>19358776
For every 1000 tobacco pallets in the warehouse there's maybe like two pallets of Cocoa or sugar.

>>19358776
The tobacco you get could've been pre-treated before it got to you, though obviously I don't know the specifics of the tobacco industry.

Wrong, sorry. Nicotine is deadliest thing in the cheapest chemical laden cigarettes. Nicotine is one of the most toxic substances on the planet, it takes a relatively tiny amount to kill a man, it destroys your whole body, and it gives cancer.

>>19359248
Nicotine kills cancer

>>19359259
Yeah, maybe, I don't doubt that in a chemo sort of fashion, chemo destroys your body and you can probably cause cancer with chemo though too if you tried. Tobacco pickers can literally die on their first day of the job, every tobacco picker goes through nicotine poisoning so it is also called growers sickness. You ever try nicotine gum and see how it still burns your mouth a little bit like snus? The common denominator between all these products is the nicotine not the other chems. Anyway I fully support freedom to buy and sell cigs with whatever is inside them, just saying because people seem to believe in a myth of nicotine itself being harmless when that is the furthest thing from the truth.

>>19358860

>Nicotine is one of the most toxic substances on the planet
Lethal nicotine overdose is practically unheard of outside of the medical literature running experiments on how much nicotine takes to kill a healthy man

no good deals for cigars so I got these. they're ok but I want to inhale them like a cigarette.

>>19360300
Looks like a dog rocket, but that doesn't always mean something is bad.

I can't handle a full big cigar anymore, but despite having a large humidor, the local liquor store and tobacco shop doesn't carry any panetelas or cigarellos.

It’s fun and cool when you’re young, but then you get old. A real man should live it up in his youth and also have the mettle to man up and quit when he has bigger responsibilities.

Wrong, sorry. Water is the deadliest thing in the cheapest chemical laden matter. Water is one of the most toxic substances on the planet, it takes a relatively small amount to kill a man, it destroys your whole brain, and it gives brain damage or death.

Does anybody have flavour charts for American Spirits?

What are the colors?

Accept no substitutes.

>>19361083

>AMERICAN SPIRIT LIGHTS!

>>19359248
dumbass

>>19361173
These give you headaches if you smoke them repeatedly. One a day cigarette at most. Camel non filters are superior if you want to smoke a pack a day. Almost no headache from them. Also making sure the smoke is hot prevents headaches a bit so if it's about to go out do a pre puff and don't inhale that one and then next do the inhale.

>>19359248

Here in Brazil, american spirits are way different. We call them "straw cigarettes" they are way stronger than your common unfiltered cigarette. They also have this distinct taste due the straw, I can't explain it, but is like drinking a blue moon after a budweiser. You can buy a pack for 6 dollars.

Imagine being this conformist. The reality is that even in the "studies" that show health problems from smoking tobacco, it's some ridiculous amount like 5 packs a day. Yeah, of course, if I smoked that much of anything I'd have problems. Smoking straight rolled up paper or inhaling hickory wood chip smoke at the '5 packs a day' intake and I'll get tar in my lungs eventually. If you smoke 1-3 cigarettes per day it's purely beneficial for your cognition and mental health an has near-zero impact on physical health.
