Thread Name: BS: Cigarettes, what brands?
Subject: RE: BS: Cigarettes, what brands?
Well, my fellow Canucks might remember 'Export A's' in the green packs without filters. Cost 55 cents a pack back in the early 70's! My dad's brand, and I took to pilfering them from the time I was 10 years old. Those and Colt cigarellos with the wine-tipped plastic filters - yuk yuk yuk! Used to take them out into the forest and practice inhaling so I could smoke without choking or getting dizzy. What a nut! Wish I'd practiced music more instead ...

Then I tried 'Belvedere' in the blue packs (don't think they make those any more). Followed by a long stint with Player's Extra Lights. And right now I'm weaning myself off of Canadian Classics - made by Craven supposedly WITHOUT all those chemical additives, 100% tobacco. Doesn't seem to help the 'cravens' though ...
