They’re actually NEW! They had a few different packs at a candy shop in Gatlinburg, TN. I was so excited. I bought a few different packs. Can’t find the others now. But the suspects both are females, aged 2 and 6.
Still in production along with Big League Chew Gum, licorice pipes, etc. A local candy store here sells them.
Candy Cigarettes are everywhere down here. I just never liked the flavor, or lack of.
I still miss back when these were legal, along with riding in the bed of the truck. In fact, we used to ride around town with our feet dangling off the tailgate. And in the car, I can even remember curling up for naps on rear dash on long rides.
You’re probably not smoking them right. Work in your technique. Speed up. Smoke hotter.
Ideally, you should get through a whole box in about 3.5 minutes.
My God man, you probably drank out of a water hose too. How did you ever live this long. ha ha. I think of all the trips my brother and I had on the tail gate of the pick up truck with our feet dangling over on bumpy country roads. People might think I fell on my head, but we never did and we had fun.
I actually specifically told my wife this morning that I could’ve sworn they used to have a red or pink tip. Government probably cracked down on that.
When I was a boy I used to buy candy cigarettes just so I could laugh at the disapproving looks and head shaking from old ladies.
Sure did. Still take a sip when I’m topping off the pool or something.
And to stay alive this long, “you can’t be any geek off street. You gotta be handy with the steel. Earn your keep.”
Never went anywhere without open carrying my six-shot cap gun. Everybody knew whose town this was.
Kids were burning themselves by putting the wrong end in their mouths, thinking it was cherry flavored.
Ok. Maybe I’m behind on this. Seems like I do recall this marketing campaign rolling out a few years ago. But if I ever did know it, I forgot it. Here’s what just happened…
I just googled (well, duck-duck-go-ed, or ducked? Idk) Condor. Clicked on cheapsmokes.com, which kinda feels like the internet equivalent of a Smoke N Stop Shop. They had 5 dif packages of Condor, and they all had people in body bags, child caskets, a baby with a cigarette pacifier, a close-up scoped shot of the inside of a stoma.
Lol. Europe has no chill with the tobacco packaging.
At the local novelty shop where you could buy Joy Buzzers, fake poop, fake vomit, Whoopee Cushions, I remember fake paper cigarettes with metal orange/red foil tips that were loaded with powder—you would exhale through it to let out a puff of smoke (and this just reminded me of the little plastic smoking monkeys).
Oh wow. I had forgotten all about those. I def remember them. Might have to go buy a pack of these and a few O’Doul’s.
I remember the Penny Arcade at the fun fair that came to town every year. They had these slot machines that only worked with the big pre-decimal penny coins. You would exchange your 'Micky Mouse' 2p coin for one old penny. One of the machines had a top price of a single Players unfiltered cigarette!
There was a restaurant in the tiny shopping center connected to the neighborhood where I grew up. In the vestibule they had one of those old cigarette vending machines with the pull-out levers. We used to get the exact change, run in there like a flash and buy a pack before they could stop us. Then we’d sprint off and have a smoke to, um, catch our breath.
@dctune You know we really didn't see 'American' cigarettes until the late 1970s. I had a Geography teacher who smoked 'Camels' and another who smoked 'Kent' but American brands were bit more expensive than UK brands and only came in packs of twenty. I have happy memories of buying ten 'Woods' or Park Drive, Senior Service or Players Weights from those lovely old vending machines. I have often wondered how people lived so long back in the day.
