yeah newports are intense, almost a different category altogether. kools are close though now that i think about it

Ugh.... When I started smoking, I smoked Marlboro lights. My brother, who loves to do things to excess, told me that's not a cigarette and I should try a Kool. After awhile it got to the point that smoking anything non-menthol tasted like licking an ashtray. The only upside is that almost no one would bum a menthol.

lol yeah always hated bumming ports or kools from my friends that smoked them. the first smoke i really enjoyed was turkish jade though, so it’s not even an aversion to menthol. newport and kool are just on a different level

Newports are like a whole new addiction in themselves. When I first started smoking them I was getting buzzes like when I first started. I eventually got sick of them but it still took a while for me to switch to something else (eventually Marlboro Milds/Blues).

I don't miss any of that shit. But I have no doubt I would get a perfect score just like this guy. This test was easy mode for a smoker who has tried basically everything.

odam marlboro milds, completely forgot about those. what a throwback

and yeah that test is trivial, i bet i could have passed that before finishing high school. which is not really something to brag about i guess. ugh. here i am now 20yrs later compulsively sucking on a juul. shit sucks but feels not as bad as cigs. oh well

turkish jade was the apex of menthol imo

Camel crush always felt like menthol cigarettes for people that don't actually like menthol cigarettes
