Looking back at Jan 6th 2021

Daaaaaayum that's steep. Didn't know you was a smoker. Hopefully not a pack a day man. I def was when I was working a full time day gig.

And here I thought 12 bucks for a pack of Clydes was crazy.

I love cigarettes man. I plan on stopping like pretty soon though. I'm getting a new truck on monday and I really don't want to smoke in it. Plus I rarely smoke at home, especially in the winter because it's freezing in the garage, so my options are dwindling. I stopped smoking for a very long time, but after my divorce I said "fuck it, I'll have a few. I'll need to stop when I start dating again" but then I met my now wife outside having a cigarette so that didn't work out too well.

I know the feeling. I also love smoking. I switched to cigars. I was a Newport man. I smoked the 'gars and then quit for a year. My wife took a vacation. I was thinking "a cigar would be nice" and got hooked again like a total moron. I smoke about 1/3'rd of a cherry cigar each day and throw the rest of the two-pack away because if I have em I just smoke smoke smoke.

I was a Newport man for a couple months back in 2020. Massachusetts banned menthol cigarettes and gas stations were selling them stupid cheap before they had to remove them from the shelf lol

I loved smoking, and drinking. But I came to realize, I had plenty of Joy before I started all that, and really I just created bad habits that I only needed because I was addicted to it.

I've dumped all that shit, it took some time to heal physically, and emotionally. But I'm glad it's out of my life now.

Wow, that is really dumb. No doubt some enterprising black person is making runs across state lines and coming back with a trunk full of menthols, lol.

 

[CrazyNutz]

That's roughly what it is around here, except that...

... where I live, it's that much a litre, not gallon.

Holy shite

Could be a White person, or an Asian making runs right? ?‍

It's an opportunity for anyone who wants to make easy money but menthols are more favored among blacks than whites.

I used to smoke Newports, and I'm only black from the waist down.

I think it's a north thing more so. My up north buddies turned me on to them.

It's statistical but yeah I've known plenty of whites who also smoked menthols. It's just less likely.

I would say smoking is a southern thing because that's where the tobacco is grown but addicts are addicts, lol. I have basically come to hate cigs. Way to processed. A giant chemistry mix. I know @Aynirar27 is smoking the spirits which are supposed to be straight organic tobacco but those are very strong, long lasting cigs, and expensive, I never got into them much for those reasons.

 

[Monkey Man]

Holy shite

If you think that's bad it's not just fuel we're being ripped-off for.

How does $80 for a 30g pouch of teabaccy or $50 for a pack of cigarettes grab ya?

... and they wonder why tobacconists are experiencing an alarming rate of arson. That's what a black market will get ya.

I want to accuse you of BS'ing me but I know you ain't. Sounds like it's cheaper to smoke the weed. I'd cross Australia off my list for that but I already crossed Australia off my list for being run by a bunch of psychopaths during covid.

WTF!!!

Holy Jebus. How you stay so silent when you see the Americans here constantly crying about "How bad the US is" hell of an achievement, man

Yea I like the long lasting part. Most of my smoke breaks are quick so I can get 2 or 3 in per cigarette. I reckon all tar is organic so I’ll smoke anything really

I like a strong cig but man those babies will kick your butt more than a camel straight.

Your only black from your lips to your tonsils

 

[JackBootedThug]

I love tobacco. I smoked for years...marlboro reds. Cowboy killers. 2-3 packs a day....yes you read that correctly. Realized what I was doing to myself and switched to snuff. Kodiak was my brand for years, then switched to grizzly because it was identical for a lot less money. Fought the nicotine demon for years. I was it's little bitch boy. Then I had a traumatic surgery....almost died. Had a feeding tube for 14 weeks. Couldn't eat or drink so I damn sure was not smoking or chewing. Been off of it ever since but I could literally go buy a carton of smokes or a roll of snuff and resume right now where I left off. I don't because my kids have begged me not to and I promised them I would not.

 

[Unacceptablenorm]

I'm addicted to cigarettes, caffeine and alcohol. Those are my vices now, can't smoke weed anymore. And the more hardcore drugs are long behind me. No more cocaine for me, but man I use to love that white devil dust.
Cigarette prices in commiefornia are pretty bad, and of course no menthol allowed because the commiefornia govt is a bunch of totalitarian ninnies.

I have a business proposal for you. Easy gear money, lol.

I love it when moron government people make makin' money easier for the motivated self-starter. A great window of opportunity. If you are gonna do time I think doing time for smuggling menthol cigs into California would be about the coolest crime a guy could commit. Kind of like when states started taxing the hell outta ciggies and you could drive to KY or VA and get cheap cigs and sell them outta state. Easy gas money for your vacay. If you go through the reservations up north they don't have the heavy taxes on them so you grab a couple cartons at the casino for comparatively cheap.

This is why I don't believe in legal weed. All my buddies downtown would go outta business.
