Well, Alex, it's like this.........

I smoked cigarettes in college some, and there is a BIG difference in the taste of a Camel (which I used to smoke) and a Dunhill (which I used to smoke when I had a little more money). A "good" cigarette is smoother and doesn't "burn" as much. With tobacco, just like everything else, you get what you pay for.

Nowadays, I only want a cigarette if there is some great emotional upheaval going on. When my stepmother called Mister and me up to the hospital because my dad was dying, the first thing I said to Paul was, have you got any cigarettes? Because we're going to need a pack.

I practically chain-smoked (Camels!) for three days. When the funeral was over, I had my cigar, and that was that. Haven't had a cigarette since. Although I will probably want one when Fathers Day comes around this year...
