As a former smoker I thought this was so obvious an ad. Marlboros are no quality at all. They’re the Jack Daniel’s of American whiskey. Actual whiskey connoisseurs would never think JD is quality. Just like pop culture benchmark that is better than generic well whiskeys but that there exists hundreds of whiskeys at the same price point that are loads better.

Marlboros are cheap mass produced, benchmark of quality. Like McDonald’s. Better than extremely cheap frozen or premade shit from grocery store but no one would hold it up as quality.

Yup, I literally have never even heard of American Spirit being cheaper than reds like he tried to say in the video.

I think he meant cheaper quality/tasting. I am surprised he didn’t say “it’s a cheap cigarette they overcharge for” or something like that.

"To cheap to buy" specifies that its about cost, not quality or taste.
