1. That's what the actor who plays the Cigarette-Smoking Man on X-Files smokes.
As for me, other than cloves (which I suppose is more of a spice cigarette, eh?), no.

17. Clove cigarettes...they're called Bimas, are they not?
Tried them during my misspent youth, just because I liked the smell so much better than regular cigs...
Never really got the hang of smoking though.

Lucky me. :)

22. I knew a woman who smoked those damn things
They really stunk up the place. I didn't know which was worse-- clove cigs, or regular tobacco.

5. Yup, I loved them.
They made me feel good. I'll smoke "herb" anytime if I can ever meet up with the right people to get some more. :evilgrin:

I smoked catnip. It's nice too, but not as nice as the other "herb" I smoked. :P

19. Yes, but...
cats are attracted to me anyhow. The only difference when I smoked the catnip, cats came from all over the neighborhood. I mostly did it at night in a building outside that I was renovating.

I also to enjoy other "herb" too, even though I haven't smoked it in years. One night, back then, I was doing both while I was working on my cats' playpen outside that I built for them. I stayed in that building overnight a lot back then. That night, I had eyes all over the yard staring at me. I woke up with one of my own cats grooming my hair and a mixture of my cats and some of the neighborhood strays all cuddled in a pile close to me. It was freaking hilarious.

There must have been 12 cats in all. Four of them were actually my cats, but the rest were neighborhood cats. All of them passed out with me and stayed with me that night. I'll never forget that. That was the nicest hairdo I've ever had too. She fluffed my hair up like her tail. I don't know how she managed it. It looked great. Everybody called me Sheba, Queen of the Playpen Cats, for a while after that. I never heard the end of it, to be honest.

6. I don't smoke, but I once tried a Honeyrose herbal cigarette
http://www.honeyrose.co.uk/

It was like smoking hay with a light vanilla after taste. :shrug:

8. Yes, I have smoked herbal cigarettes.
I liked it, but all of the tobacco smokers around me thought that it smelled offensive.

12. When I was a smoker, I tried anything.
American cigarettes (Canadian smokes are milder), Russian papirosi, Indian beedies, French Gauloises....

But one day this guy hands me a herbal cigarette. I take a puff.. and almost die.

Stuff was more harsh than ditchweed.

All that unpleasantness and no nicotine. Seemed kind of pointless.

14. I just quit smoking 6 months ago. Every so often I'll buy a pack or two of herbal cigarettes
and smoke them. They are easy to be weaned off of as they have no nicoteen or other addictive chemicals in them. They taste really raunchy though. Except for the menthol HoneyRose ones.

15. The ginseng ones smell just like pot.
I used to sit in the middle of the Cerritos Mall and smoke those til someone called the cops. Then I'd go "Ha! They're ginseng! Legal, baby!"

Still cracks me up, but now I'm laughing at me and not them. What a dumbshit I was.

16. Never tried 'em.
Used to be some posers back in my dorm days who would smoke clove cigarettes.

"Look at me! I'm a jagoff and I smell like burnt Easter ham!"

So they had that going for them.
