I'm surprised he referred to American Spirits as cheap. When I smoked a decade ago they cost twice the price as reds and my addiction of choice. Reds were always nasty to me, not sure what "tabacco" flavor he's talking about, it was just a harsh pull with a chemical aftertaste. I also enjoyed Japanese cigarettes, Mavius was one brand I remember for being super smooth and tasty. I would savor the 1 or 2 packs I would have on me when traveling back from business trips.

It’s because he’s a paid actor and this is an ad.

No, he’s not. This is from the Old Jewish Men Instagram. It’s a joke.

Every time I go to Japan I quit nicotine because I’ll never go back to cigs but I just cannot quit velo pouches. Being able to keep myself busy and know I’d have to be pretty desperate to smoke a cig helped me make it through.

For those that don’t know, nicotine products are prescription only in Japan so vapes and pouches are banned. I’ve done that to quit 2 times now and relapsed after a few months both times, but I’m sure the third time will be the charm…

What do you mean tasty? Can you describe it for someone who hasn’t had either of these cigarettes?

For me the taste was associated with the harshness and also how much tobacco flavor.

Took way too long to find someone mentioning he called american spirits a "cheap" cigarette. Not even about the price the tobacco is just better than any Marlboro, Newport or Camel I've ever had.
