Fred and Barney at 6:34 These old cigarette commercials are hilarious. Virginia Slims: "You've got your own cigarette now baby- you've come a long long way" Any smokers here? Are you tired of paying $8, 9, 10 dollars + per Pack? A pack a day at $10/pack is $300/ month or $3,600 per year. You can roll your own cigarettes with the best ORGANIC tobacco in the world for $1.00 PER PACK or less. That's $30 per month instead of $300.- a savings of $270 per month. That really adds up after a few months. Save even more with non organic tobacco leaf. A $21.00 pound of Organic Tobacco leaves makes between 2 to 2 1/4 cartons. Say 420 cigarettes. 420 cigarettes = 2 cartons and one pack, or 21 packs. 21 packs for $21.00 = $1.00 per pack- for the finest USDA Certified Organic smokes available. A tenth or less of the price of regular cigarettes with additives and grown with pesticides. Here's the loophole: There Is No Federal Tax On Whole Leaf Tobacco. Leaf tobacco is not technically a tobacco product, nor is it processed tobacco. It is a raw agricultural commodity with stem and whole leaf in-tact, and is therefore not taxable as roll-your-own, pipe, or otherwise. Buy the leaf, cut or shred it, stuff a tube and you have a home made cigarette that costs FIVE Cents or less, vs. FIFTY Cents or more. Make your own blends with Organic Burley and Canadian, or even authentic Saint James Parish Perique. (Perique is $60-70 per pound-it's rare, but special!) Exceptionally rare, 100% genuine whole leaf Saint James perique tobacco. Grown and cured by a small farm in rural Saint James Parish that has been producing high quality barrel-cured perique tobacco for generations. You can find tobacco leaf on the net. The going rate is about $110-120 per 5 pounds ORGANIC plus shipping. Non organic can be had for $75-$90 per 5 pounds. I can personally recommend this company Leaf Only. They ship what you order fast and you get a tracking number. Leaf Only has been importing tobacco products since 2010, and has a Federal Tobacco Products Import License issued by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.

I like the commercials in the first clip, you forgot to mention Lucie and Ricky (Desi) in it. 'Keep your man happy' The liberated woman Virginia Slims clip reminds me of TV when I was young.
Before the e cigs rolling seems to have been the way to smoke on the cheap but it is a lot of work it seems (I am not a smoker) but now I am seeing e cigs everywhere.
These old commercials remind me of some things, I remember Green Lucky Strike packages, I remember when Philip Morris packs came with two pennies on the inside, I even remember free little 5 cigarette packs handed out on street corners as samples. I guess I ahve a pretty good memory. But you know there are somethings I never remember. I never remember a mans bragging about his wife smelling of stale tobacco. I can't ever seem to remember a man bragging about his wife being able to drink him under the table. I, regardless of how hard I try, cannot remember a man, in an effort to impress others, brag about how filthy his wives mouth is. What I do remember is how my grandfather, treated my grandmother, who never smoked, never cussed, and never drank more than one glass of wine.
I had an uncle that could roll one by hand, and it would look perfect. He once asked me to roll one for him. LOL ! What a mess, I had more on the table & the floor than in the cig, which ended up looking like a pretzel. It appears to be fairly simple if using one of the rolling machines. That is what my wife does. I quit about 4 years ago. It is very tuff to do, but I made it. I am trying to get her to quit, but I am not being a PIA over it. I know that does not help. She will have to do like I did. I liked smoking, but decided on my own to quit, and did. It took a while, but I made it. I will be very happy if she quits. I really wish I had never started! Si vis pacem, para bellum
I smoked cigarettes for 21 years. Now? I will never touch tobacco again.
Now? I will never touch tobacco again. I'm overjoyed to learn that you managed to quit doing something that you didn't want to do. Yet you clicked on a thread with cigarettes in the title. Hmmmm... I've quit a few times. But I probably won't quit again, because I enjoy it. And I've somehow learned to limit consumption. And Organic Tobacco doesn't leave 1/4 inch of tar residue in the bottom of ashtrays, like regular store bought cigarettes do. That filth is collecting in people's lungs. I thought sharing a tip on how other people that still enjoy smoking tobacco and haven't quit can save up to 90% of whatever they are spending on it. It's a tough economy, isn't it. By the way, how would you like it if I stumbled into one of your various food threads and explained to the forum members how glad I was to finally have quit eating meat and how much better I feel without all the growth hormones and chemicals that are force fed to cows and chickens? I will never touch meat again, believe me. I find it TOTALLY DISGUSTING and REPUGNANT. Please start up a weekend thread on Steaks or Fried Chicken, so I can pipe in. TIA
I'm all for people testing the long term consequences of smoking whatever e-cig smokers are smoking. It's like the people that scarf down GMO food. No one knows what will happen in 30, 40 or 50 years, but they're willing to be guinea pigs and test it out for the rest of us. I won't be joining in though, I will always prefer real natural organic tobacco. And I sometimes feel sorry for those that will never experience the joy of a good organic smoke with a cup of steaming black coffee.
I smoked cigarettes for 21 years - age 21 to 42. Sat in the basement in nicotine withdrawal for months -
Good testimonial, Chuck. You can be proud of yourself,
My father smoked menthol cigarettes for 60 years. But he did live to age 89 - 3 1/2 months short of 90. But during that last decade of his life - he had COPD/emphysema/lung cancer. He passed away in October of 2014 by the way.
Proud as punch for exhibiting a little bit
Well - here it is: For several years in my early twenties I was a vegetarian. But I've got to manage my carbs - and check my blood sugar And you have apparently read some of of food threads - So keep following my food threads (if you want) - I'll Yes - they load up the meat with A LOT of bad stuff - but we See ya!

From age 21 to age 42.
I find it totally disgusting and repugnant.

Then - after trying to quit several times -
I went cold turkey.
just sitting down there in an old desk chair - shivering.
After going though that, I'm NEVER going to touch
nicotine in any form ever again. EVER. Glad I'm free of it.

I know that you must be.

I enjoy it.
From age 15 to age 75 - when he underwent a quadruple heart
bypass operation. He didn't smoke after that - because he
physically could not.
In agony - struggling to breath. Is that the way you want to go?
Give it serious thought.

of intelligence after 21 years of blatant
stupidity. You betcha!

I will never touch meat again, believe me.
Now - several decades later - I am a type 2 diabetic.
I don't feel that there is any 'causality' between
the two - it just is what it is.
three times a day.
but I have NEVER posted anything about fried chicken
or steak - let's be fair and honest here.
be talking about food - healthy food - with some protein -
and it'll be tasty too.
can get into all of that later.
