I smoke Macdonald's as Im going to uni in Montreal and hate most of the cigarettes here, and they're all too expensive. St.Aquinas is incredible, but Id make sure to read Anselm first.

Such a bot thought/comment. No one who reads serious literature is this attached to societal modes of personality. Defending tobacco in contrast to mind altering substance by calling them “hippy” is such a non insult. What is this? The 50s? Why would being perceived as a hippy affect anyone here?

Oliva V Lancero cigars are my current go to. They are seven inches long and are slow burners so it usually takes me 45 minutes to an hour to enjoy the entire thing.

I am currently reading a book of de Quincey essays (including the famous one about being an opium addict) while absorbing a torrent of nicotine right into the blood-vessels of my right inner cheek as I slowly masticate a large wad of rich spicy molasses-tinged tobacco. And I'm going to wash it down with liquor. Disgusting? I'm close to theosis, son. Where the fuck are YOU?

why did you ignore my question about your appearance? Are you handsome or plain? My weed consumption is limited to the night time after I've finished all my obligations and you have no basis to call me slothful when you take frequent smoke breaks throughout the day more than likely. Aesthetics are absolutely enhanced by marijuana that's why its universally a preferred substance for engaging with media and nature along with its cousin entheogens. I make mention of the OHP because you insinuate that I'm lazy, dirty and weak "hippy" as you put it, but none of those are the case, I shave and shower regularly, I lift weights and go on long walks, my body is trim and well muscled and I maintain about 10% BF along with eating a very spare, austere diet. You have nothing but your own assumptions and are appealing to the prevailing disgust in the counter-culture that's emerged in response to the normalfag epidemic of DUDE WEED LMAO but that was never anything to do with me at any point in my smoking. Tobacco is repulsive in every way, stains the whole house with residue, rots your teeth and tongue, destroys your lungs and skin, leaves you psychotic if you can't get it. I can go nearly the entire day without taking dabs, can you do the same with your cigs? Doubtful.
