Wow. I just had a Marlboro Red for the first time in a while. Yum.

I used to occasionally buy packs of Reds or Camel Filters, just for the extra kick in the ass … I could only take one pack at a time because my lungs and throat would eventually explain in no uncertain terms that this habit couldn’t turn into a regular thing. More recently, my breaks from Camel Lights tend to head towards Salems, mostly because I got a mess of free packs over the summer, and they keep sending me coupons. And, as we’ve discussed, cigarette coupons are increasingly a good thing to take advantage of. Maybe it’s time to veer back towards the full-flavor goodness of the extra-death smokes that used to be a semi-regular fixture for me.

That doesn’t include Winstons. They taste like diesel exhaust.
