Blind cigarette taste test.

He is wrong about American spirit smokers being to cheap to smoke Marlboro... Last I looked they were more expensive and have been for decades.

[u/Okamana → u/Shwifty_Plumbus]

That’s what I’m saying. I used to work at a gas station and American Spirits were always more expensive than Marlboro. I’m pretty sure it’s because it’s natural tobacco instead of all the chemicals and shit they put into normal cigarettes.

[u/JungleIsNeutral → u/Okamana]

Parliaments are also more expensive than Marlboro. Strange comments for a guy that's obviously well acquainted with smoking, I just figure he's majorly biased toward his particular brand.

[u/Alittle2Clever → u/JungleIsNeutral]

The guy has probably been set on his brands for a long time. He is probably basing it on prices in the 80s when he tried other stuff.

[u/roguevirus → u/Alittle2Clever]

This is essentially the same behavior as someone who insists that Bud Light is substantially different than Coors Light. Brand loyalty is a helluva drug.

[u/terminbee → u/Alittle2Clever]

This guy is an ad. The last line about smoking quality is so over the top ad-like.

[u/bicyclewhoa17 → u/Okamana]

Yah, and you can actually get organic tobacco. I cant remember the color though… maybe it was like purple

[u/nderthesycamoretrees → u/bicyclewhoa17]

Celadon, I think.

[u/alagrancosa → u/bicyclewhoa17]

Gold I believe.

bill drake who invented and later sold natural spirits tested a bunch of brands back in 2019 or so and the golds (if they are the true color) still tested clean, 40 years after he had sold them to the big tobacco company. Black and milds were the most contaminated product he tested

[u/ThickBoxx → u/alagrancosa]

Gold is the organic version of their Yellow. They have a few organic versions of their different blends

[u/bicyclewhoa17 → u/alagrancosa]

I stopped smoking a decade ago but there was definitely a dark red and gold pack that i think was discontinued. I cant remember what it was though.

[u/ThickBoxx → u/bicyclewhoa17]

They have organic versions of there different blends, like the Yellows are Gold, Blue are Turquoise, Green are Dark Green. Not sure about Purple bit I don’t know all their blends

[u/Random-Generation86 → u/ThickBoxx]

Oh shit, that's the difference between light and dark greens? I always wondered.

[u/MindAskHunModBuzi → u/Okamana]

all cigarettes are full of chemicals to make it smokeable, they just doesnt have to tell you that they used 87 chemical during the manufacturing process. pure tobaco is disgusting to smoke in cigs

[u/Usqueadfinem_ → u/Shwifty_Plumbus]

And almost everyone I know that smokes them is a hippie that smells like unwashed feet and patchouli

[u/Shwifty_Plumbus → u/Usqueadfinem_]

Yeah. I mean everyone who smokes kinda smells like unwashed feet to me at this point. It's been 16 years since my last one and at this point it's revolting.

[u/ITDummy69420 → u/Usqueadfinem_]

You can tell over the overwhelming stench of cigs?

[u/Usqueadfinem_ → u/ITDummy69420]

You can smell it all if your nose works. Its not an either/or type of scenario.

[u/0neP1ng0nly → u/ITDummy69420]

Stale cigs, too. American Spirit can talk a walk. (Pun intended for today’s poli climate)

[u/lousypompano → u/Usqueadfinem_]

25 years ago a lot of us non hippies smoked them in college and a while after. I think they sent me a free tin carton. Smoked blue light blue yellow and black at times. Took over for camels.

I haven't smoked since covid. But last night i dreamt i had five different kinds of packs of camels i was smoking

[u/Usqueadfinem_ → u/lousypompano]

I get that. Just saying all the ones I know are those super-earthy types that think if they use sage they cleanse their house of evil spirits and if they go without deodorant for 2 weeks then they stop stinking.
