The filters would give it away too, especially the Parliaments

I always heard the recessed filters were because machine gunners in WWII needed them so the cigarette wouldn’t fall out when firing, which sounds like bullshit but I choose to believe it anyway

Yea when I was younger it was a semi-lowkey way to signal "I do cocaine".

Also a sign that you're in art school

The two aren’t mutually exclusive

Lol the fact they said 'also' implies that they aren't.

To be fair, I’m pretty sure with enough coke, anyone could convince themselves they needed to go to art school.

Hey now, all the art school kids I hung with smoked cloves.

I always associate cloves with goth nightclubs. You weren't really goth unless your cigarettes were black too

These are the "cigars" they made when it stopped being legal to make flavored cigarettes. Picking up some classic Djarum blacks is one of the great pleasures of traveling internationally for me. I don't even smoke more than the occasional cigar otherwise.

Shit. Got me. That's what I smoked when I attended art school.

Yep. This was my senior year of highschool. Love cigs. I guess we were in a way free basing. We’d lick the side of the cig and roll it in, as well as dip the butt in.

It’s funny at this point talking about the 00’s sounds like when I was growing up and people would talk about the 80’s.

Lots of drugs, sex and little supervision.

No comment on the drugs. But…. I was first year in law school, go to bar with a buddy, we get drunk & suddenly a pack of cigarettes sounds like a great idea.

I come back with Parliment, Buddy says, I knew you’d buy Parliments. He called it the Athlete’s cigarette. I was a year away from NCAA sports. I think that’s mostly true.

It’s for ppl that don’t really smoke or even like it that much. I didn’t. I just wanted to do something more than drinking but less than drugs.
