odd hivemind question: For those of you that smoke, do you have a particular brand you smoke? Do you have a lot of brand loyalty?
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
On my queue that is now nearly 200 items long. I may actually see it in about 2-3 years.
Well, by that time, it should be all done and ready to mainline.

Oh my gods, yes. They have different tastes, different strengths. I don't know any serious smokers who would pick up a pak of any old thing at the store.
That said, you sometimes change brands after a while. In my lifetime, I've smoked Marlboro Lights, Benson & Hedges, Merits, and Marlboro Medium 100s (my current nicotine delivery system). Also 100s for me, too. No idea why.

Lee, when I did smoke, years ago, I was generally brand loyal.
I migrated from Bensen and Hedges Ultra Light 100 Menthols (in the box, please) to Marlboro Mediums, to Marlboro 25s, to those weird Camels in the silver pack, to Chesterfield straights with the occasional pack of Old Golds when I couldn't find my Chesterfields.
And then I up and quit. Which is good, because Chesterfields are a bitch to find.

See, that's what I thought, but a co-worker was trying to tell me otherwise.

Cigarettes must always be in a box. Oh yes.

AmyLiz, my Chesterfields weren't, but I had vintage metal Chesterfield case that I kept them in, so it all worked out.

I went through a phase of buying vintage cigarette cases when I was at NYU (and had lots of easy access to tempting vintage and antique stores in theVillage), but none of them were ever big enough for 100s, and a lot of them were too rich for my blood. So lovely, though.

And now I have an odd urge to find out what all the smokers smoke.
Nicole, Brenda, Aimee, everyone else I am forgetting...?
