My preferences lean more toward cigars; sometimes, in winter, I will have a cigarette, which I know isn't good for my health like burgers and such.

Grandpa used to smoke three packs a day unfiltered, Chesterfields. Wow. Can't imagine.

I just found it interesting, being that I enjoy cigars, that these are now made again and at least in the midwest, readily available. FWIW, I enjoy the Lucky Strike's more, very smooth. When I cannot have a cigar with the temperatures, generally; winter will direct me.

Best to you and yours. Kind regards, TH.:)

Some of the old advertisements from the 50’s were quite interesting. They even used physician testimonies to promote the product.
 
I'm fairly sure Lucky's have been available in Ga.

Can't say I've seen any Chesterfield's since I was a teenager.

I worked as a cashier at a supermarket after school. I tried just about every brand of cigarette in stock.

My Saturdays were spent in the meat department. We still had sawdust on the floor.
 
Pall Mall cigs. My dad smoked them in the army when they became available in the PX and rations in WWII. He smoked them because he could snipe them and light the half-cig later and finish it. The first 100mm cig. They were his fave when he came home.

I swiped them from him occasionally when in high school, and he finally gave in and started giving me a 50 cent per day allowance to buy my own. (the 60's - go figure - all were 30-40 cents a pack. I chose Marlboros. Now I smoke low tar Sonomas - still)

I'm too many thousand packs behind what I really spent smoking. It's an addiction that will kill me. Hasn't yet - I'm 70.
 
This is fun. Vintage cigarette ads: Vintage Tobacco/ Cigarette Ads of the 1960s

Started with Winstons in high school. Switched to Marlboro reds when I met a young lady who preferred them when I was 19 or so. Stayed with those until I quit in 2011.

When scavenging, of course, smoked pretty much anything I could get my mitts on: Pall Mall ("the Red Death"), Salem, Camel, Kent, Luckies, Kool... you name it...

Very glad I finally quit, though.
 
My dad smoked Lucky Strike until he was 55. He stopped then because the things killed him with a heart attack. One of my best friends smoked Pall Malls. He died of throat cancer at 58. Not preaching because I do stuff that is not good for me just never too up smoking.
 


Back in the day I tried them all and in about 1971 I started smoking Marlboro Menthols.
I smoked a carton a week for close to 30 years.

The box became real popular and I had to start having a 7-11
order me cartons of the soft packs, never cared for the box.

I quit smoking in Jan 2001 after having a heart attack in July 2000 when I was 45.
Haven't touched a cigarette since.

Never cared for cigars, pipes or chew.
 
So they are bringing throwback products to include cigarettes!?

Cool. I hope they bring back the Kent Cigarettes with the blue asbestos filters. The filter was to protect smokers from cancer. After all more scientists and educators smoke Kent! Says so.

Sure wish my dad had ate more burgers and not smoked a couple packs of L&Ms a day. Maybe lung and esophagus cancer would not have killed him at a young age.
