Cigarette Brands

[jvnshr]

I am sorry if it is not allowed here (mods can delete if it's against the rules), but I wonder what cigarette brand you smoke. And how much does a pack cost?

 

[didimauw]

I prefer camels. 7.25 usd. My wife prefers natural American spirit. 9.75 usd. Wisconsin prices.

 

[jvnshr]

Wow, I guess the prices are high because of the taxes. I checked Camel yesterday, it costs 1.60 azn (local currency) here, around $0.90. I bought Sobranie Blue for $1.68. Prices seem to be really low in dollars just because the local currency lost its value against USD.

When I smoked regularly, I was a Camel Lights guy. Around here, they are around $10.50 a pack. When I indulge now, it's usually Marlboro Silver. Same price point as Camel.

 

[colorduke]

Cigs here in central Pa run $6.90 to 10.00,now I roll my own for $9.00 a carton.Camel non filter were my favorite for the longest time.

My wife smokes Pall Malls; $7.65 per pack in Minnesota but just $5.45 in Iowa so I make a run for the border once a month for her.

When I smoked cigarettes, I smoked Camel Lights or Blue, or whatever they changed their name to. You can still get them for $4.90 (give or take $0.75) a pack in Alabama. But, I thought that it was interesting that the American Spirits still cost a tad over $9 a pack. The generic cigarettes can still be found for under $4.

MCDs until the new owner messes with them. $62.00 for a carton of five packs up here. The hip's abut healed so I'm looking forward to cracking open a pack a week from today!

 

[drennan]

When I smoked ciggies I was a camel man, I paid €6 a pack or aound $6.30.
In the UK I used to smoke Embassy, currently a pack is around $12.

When I smoked cigs I was a Woodbine man along with Capstan Full Strength, Players Medium Navy Cut and Piccadilly No.1 which had 25 in a pack. If I occasional smoke a cigarette these days I roll my own and make the smoke out of very finely shaved Warrior Plug that has been rubbed out to the consistency of RYO tobacco. The last time I purchased a pack of Woodbine they were about Eleven Pounds a pack and only came in 20s as the old 10s had been phased out.

 

[hextor]

i like Marlboro 72's they are about 6.00 dollars a pack, I have been curious though have yall tried Nat Shermans fantasia cigarettes, are the good?

 

[stickframer]

I've been RYO for a little while. Drum or CNT- Canadian Natural Tobacco. The cheapest place I've found is about $39 per pouch.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Wow, the RYO store down the road has the big cans of Drum for $12.

 

[stickframer]

Cosmic, I'm envious. Also the selection isn't the greatest where I live. Most places only carry Drum and the crappy bargain brands.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Drum is actually not very prevalent here. Bugler, Kite, and Top are more popular, and of course people will roll PA and SWR.
My first cigarettes were Chesterfields. I would have stuck with them, because I loved the latakia in them. But, I haven't seen any on the shelves for decades now.

 

[kanse]

Djarum Black, which is unavailable here as of now, it was around 2$ at the time I used to smoke.
There is also Bali Shag Blue rolled into Rizla licorice papers, a beautiful thing really.

I started smoking pipes to find an alternative to those, since they are unavailable where I live at.

When you compare wages in America to wages on this side of Earth, the price is actually not that different in comparison.

As a side note, did you find out anything about Herzegovina Flor cigarettes we discussed in another thread?

 

[stickframer]

Cos, we don't have any of those here.
Is it wrong for me to fantasize about Chesterfields and Woodbines and Capstan Full Strength etc? Because I am! :lol:
Tailor made smokes here are either way too expensive or total junk imo, and being a connoisseur of fine tobaccos I just can't abide anymore.
I think I'd really like some of the Stokkebye ryo offerings, but I'm making do and all is well, relatively.

 

[jefff]

Marlboro lights here. Quit about 10 years again.
Roughly 14.00 a pack now in Chicago. Maybe half that in the burbs.

 

[mothernaturewilleatusallforbreakfast]

The last ones I smoked were American Spirits in the black pack. Those are damn good cigarettes. I think they were $8 a pack?

 

[davidy97]

Yellow American spirits. 7-8$ in Texas last time a bought them.
