been smoking one form or the other tobacco since i was 12 or so. until recently, i thought the tobacco was just a nasty habit with a bad taste. then pipe smoke opened jp a whole new world of truly satisfying smoking experience. i still smoke marlboro red now and then. on the past weekend, i dropped my elder son at his college. his first time being away for truly extended time. i bought a pack of red to burn. then i noticed something i never experienced before. the cigarette had pleasant taste. i slowed down and smoked slowly. i definitely tasted something very closed to va. was totally amazed.
