I think the amount of tobacco you can travel with varies by destination county. You're only allowed to take one carton of cigarettes to Canada, for instance.

Have you guys ever been stopped at customs to have your bags checked for smokes? In theory, maybe split it between bags, with some extra packs in your carry on. Then pack a few in your jacket.

Flew out today instead of last Thursday... went through FLL and PHX security with a filled Zippo in my carryon - no issues. Lighting a square with it at SNA right now.

Nice move.

I have had some Zippos confiscated before in a carryon, so be careful.

I'm sitting here dying for a camel filter. I used to smoke marlboro 27's but they don't taste as good as the camels.

I should've bought a carton the other day instead of two or three packs and going out in this snow insanity.

Speaking of which, do you guys usually buy one pack, a few packs, or a carton?

I like buying cartons, but I only do so if I'm going across the river to Kentucky. Cigarette and liquor taxes are cheaper in Kentucky, a $50.00 carton in Ohio costs $10.00 less for a ten mile drive. Liquor in Kentucky is usually a dollar or two cheaper than Ohio also.

There's actually a few Wal-Mart sized liquor stores in northern Kentucky specifically catering to Ohioans looking for cheaper smokes and booze.

I buy cartons, plural, at a time.

Saves time.

People usually trip at the liquor store or drug store when you drop $200 in one shot though.

That's strange. Here in Cincinnati driving across the river to buy a few hundred dollars worth of liquor and smokes is routine. Nobody thinks anything of it, because damned near anybody that smokes or drinks does it from time to time. You'd probably have to spend close to a grand before anyone would bat an eye.

I only smoke maybe a pack a month, but always Dunhills. Girls think theyre cool because the box looks so weird, and theyre really good.

In the novels it varies, I think in one he was smoking 70 cigarettes per day, averaged 60 in most, and, in another novel, he cut back and smoked 25 per day.

Back in the 70's and 80's my dad worked as a long haul trucker and motorcycle mechanic, three packs a day (sixty cigarettes) was routine.

No cigs for me, but I do smoke cigars. My favorite are Backwoods Sweet & Aromatic, for a great combination of organic flavor and price. Another great thing about the Backwoods is the smell. Most cigars you would never want to smoke in a pubic place because they tend to smell too strong. I always, without fail, get a compliment when smoking backwoods and have never heard a complaint, even indoors.

The honey-flavored and the mixed berry are also fantastic.

The problem is that they tend to fall apart and get messy - just the way they're rolled. This can make them a nuisance and sometimes it gets on your lips (if Backwoods ever comes out with wood-tipped cigars I'm a customer for life).

So sometimes when going out I pick up some basic flavored swishers - usually wood-tipped. I sometimes get compliments on the smell of the wine-flavored ones as well as the rum. They're nothing to write home about but they'll do in a pinch.

Sometimes people, usually women, give me shit because I tend to sit in a bar holding a cigar in my mouth. Maybe they think I'm being pretentious but it's just a habit and you get a lot of the flavor holding it in your mouth. Mostly I think it's just a shit test anyways, so if I'm in the mood I play with them on it. If not, I just look at them like they're stupid.

Every once in a while I'll pick up something expensive to smoke at home with a couple of the boys, but it's been a while.

I think I might smoke a bit much.

I usually smoke my cigarettes outside, then pitch the cig butts in a bucket full of water. Today I drained off the water to pitch out the old cigarette butts:

I do the same thing. I use old water or tea bottles in my car for that too.

Post: #67

So I've recently picked up smoking (about 6 weeks ago when some really shitty stuff happened) and have been smoking about 4-7 a day. I have to say I really enjoy it now. The momentary escape, slight buzz, and relaxing effect are addictive, not to mention the chemical addictive-ness itself. I'm smoking Camel Turkish Silvers...haven't had anything that tastes better yet.

Thing is...I'd like to quit before it REALLY becomes a habit. Two months ago I smoked maybe 2-4 a month after drinking.

Those things have to be stale as fuck towards the end of the month...

I smoke something different everyday for the most part. I buy Marlboro 27s and Parliment Full Flavor the most when I'm buying tailor mades. My favorites though are Bugler (rollies). It's cheaper ($11/week in NJ), I smoke less, and it stops people from asking you for a smoke. Anyone is free to one of my smokes if you roll your own. Like Iron Mike, I'm not rolling your cigarette unless we are fornicating.

Random Dude: Hey man can I get a smoke?
Me: Sure, you gotta roll your own.
RD: Awww man! Can't you just roll it for me?
Me: I'm sorry, do we fuck?

If it's a girl just change "do we fuck" to "have we fucked".

When I was in Germany, I either smoked Monticos (don't know much about them, other than that they're cheap), imported Russian cigarettes from a friend who got me a carton, or I rolled my own.

Here, I'm just smoking Marlboros or shittier brands of cigarettes until I find a decent tobacco store with rolling supplies.

Switched to electronic cigarettes in 2013. Now every time I try an analog I feel a bit sick.

I discovered them in Czech republic. They are heavy smokers here but I noticed a lot of the chicks puffing away on vaporisers. I desperately wanted to get off the cigs so bought one in the local mall. It's called an eRoll. You charge it up in its little case and put eliquid in of your desired nicotine strength. I use different flavours like mint and Vanilla.
There is a ton of information about them... just google.
I truly believe they are the future of smoking. I am probably 'vaping' now more than I did smoking but without all the ill effects.
I loved the whole process of smoking so failed to quit everytime I went out drinking. Now I just take a few tokes on this bad boy and all my cravings are satisfied, plus is entirely enjoyable.
Another thing I notice is I don't really get hangovers anymore.
It is also a great conversation starter. Had countless people come up to me ask what I was doing. Mine lights up neon blue when I toke for maximum peacocking effect
