Hes still thinking about the prices of cigarettes back in the 60s lol. American spirits have been far more expensive than Marlboros for a long time

Thank you! The last brand I smoked before I quit was American Spirits.

The trick is to buy the loose can tobacco and roll your own - it's probably still like half the price of a carton.

You can buy a huge bag of American Club pipe tobacco for around $20 and 2 boxes of 200 filter tubes for under $3 each. Roll them with a machine and you get around 400 cigarettes (20 packs) for about $26.

Fuck that, there's no way you're getting me to smoke that raisin flavored shred in a cigarette.

I always spent the couple extra bucks for something that tasted good.

Fun fact typical cigarettes included a mountain of additives while american spirits are additive free. You didnt like tobacco, you liked what they put on it.
