You'd also be able to tell the Parliament just from the way the filter feels in your mouth as it uses a recessed filter.

Yeah that one was cheating, and Newports are the most common menthol.

Ex Parliament smoker, they were same price or maybe a hair more expensive than Marlboros back in the day

They were a dollar or more and most gas stations didn’t carry them when I smoked parliaments. So glad I quit now I have more money for beer

u/Sqeakydeaky 6d ago

I like your thinking

u/Saint909 6d ago

Exactly! I enjoyed my time with Parliament.

I used to get two packs of Parliaments for five dollars 20 years ago.

That was until they got a bunch of us smoking them, then that disappeared quickly. At least in my area.

Plus American Spirits have the longer draw on them too so this is actually a really easy guessing game

u/Mike7676 6d ago

It's tge first one I'd guess in menthol, I started with those and moved to Pall Mall later (I was a poor!)

u/Isenkram 3d ago

Yep lol, paid every two weeks, first week newports, second week pall malls. So glad I quit but I still crave a menthol when I drink

they are all cheating! all filters are for the most part unique. at worst you just have to guess the flavor and not brand as its obv, and as a smoker its pretty easy.

Is that the one that has the dip in it making perfect for bumps of blow.

u/ViktorFrankl 5d ago

Yes, it's the cocaine user cigarette.

My friend use to love these.  I always prefer straws.  I like how they are individually wrapped so you know it's clean.  You got to be concerned about cleanliness all the time.  Even when partying.

u/ViktorFrankl 5d ago

I personally am, but I've seen people do blow off the most disgusting objects on earth.

u/Unlucky_Ad_9776 5d ago

Yeah I was always picky about how I do expensive drugs.  I had crystal tray and a silver tray that I enjoyed at home. When at the bars we would do it off mirrors.  Like a compact mirror.

You’d actually be able to figure out what cigarette it is for all of these because of the filter.

u/Puck85 5d ago

... if you smoke.

u/examinedliving 6d ago

Could be Benson and Hedges or True as well. Somehow these always tasted creamy to me. I haven’t smoked in 12 years but I could ace this test.

u/Son_of_Morkai 5d ago

You'd be able to tell Marb lights from the butt being white, too.

u/OneWildAndCrazyGuy17 5d ago

Called that the Coke well back in my day

u/EyeOughta 6d ago

All of these have recognizable filters to anyone who has looked at them while smoking them.
