It’s very rare that I smoke at this chapter of my life, but I still enjoy the Cowboy Killers and a Camel Blue whenever the opportunity arises. What is your favorite pack of smokes or cigarettes from way back that you still wish you could purchase. My grandpa (in my profile picture) always spoke fondly of Raleigh Filter Kings.

Marlboro Reds will always hold a special place. It was my first smoke, first smoke I got punished for smoking when the parents found out (both smokers themselves) and countless camp fire conversations or posted out in the back of a truck bed somewhere.

But like most things we mature and grow to some level interests and life change ect. I transitioned to working in the industry in my twenties some of the best years of my life and allowed me to travel the world but it exposed me to the world of blending and roll your own. Not to be bougie but I found a happy medium of blending, rolling , price and time when I switched to rolling with a Revolution Cigarette machine, essentially a Keirug of tobacco makers. This with a shredder allowed me to by premade blend, experiment with different combinations from leaf farms and suppliers and more.

I may not smoke what I once did. But I can always dial up a few for special occasions, experimentation or when the cigar doesn’t seem just right.

Big believer in as long as your getting more out of smoking than its getting out of you puff away.

Very nice setup. I also agree with the mindset that a cigarette has its place as does a cigar. I don’t golf but when asked to go once or twice a year I find the cigar to be enjoyable for that occasion. On the flip side, a cigarette while coyote hunting gets the mind sharp. As long as the wind plays in your favor.
 
Grandpa smoked Camel straights, I used to smoke Camel Wides. Today it's an occasional American Spirit Gold and Arturo Fuente Churchills with a nice glass of Scotch. Actual clean tobacco has many benefits when there's no fertilizers or chemistry of today's industrial crap in it. We have MANY regions of America today with tobacco barns, fields full of it, and annual festivals. Proud to be in one of them.

We would go to family reunions on the tobacco farm every summer. Nothing beats the smell of a barn full of tobacco.
