Attention Smokers: Thanks for your participation

[itsmesgd]

With all the discussions about smoking all over the General Discussion board and the outrage that they were causing. I was curious about what reponse I would get by posting yet another post, and a poll to boot. I don't care what anyone's favorite brand is, and I don't smoke myself. I would simply ask that everyone take it easy and remember that we are all on the same side on DU.
First and foremost, we are here to discuss democracy, the news of the day, and what we can do as activists.

Thank you for your participation and I hope that there are no hard feelings.

Remember, we hate the Chimp, not each other.

1. I like a good clove myself

[mainegreen]

2. Most people up here now smoke GPCs due to prices.

Me, I'll stick with the MJ.

[azmouse]

3. Macanudo or Cohiba

Cigars rule.

[ProfessorGAC]

8. Elitist Limousine Liberal Alert!

Cohiba???? Geez, i smoke cheapies from the Dominican! I wouldn't want to spend that kind of money every day!

15. I only smoke them on weekends.

Geez, I took a look in the humidor and it's packed. Guess I should smoke more.

[meegbear]

18. Me too, Romeo Y Juleita currently ...

probably gonna get some Ashton Cabinet to mark the New Year.

[azmouse]

24. Have you tried the R y J Anniversario?

I like to try lots of different cigars. I may be unique here in that I'm female and I like cigars. Been smoking 'em for about 10yrs. It's become a hobby with my husband and me.

[meegbear]

26. No I haven't tried them, but I've heard of them ...

my purchases are based on the funds.

I think it's cool that you smoke. When we have Boston meetups, if Mrs. Matcom is there, I give her a cigar and she smokes.

9. are those your favorite?

I like a good Fonseca or Autero Fuente

[azmouse]

17. Pretty much.

Fonseca is good and I like Hoyo de Monterrey Excaliber.

[comsymp]

4. Aw, can only vote for one-

[IA_Seth]

5. Oh dang it, I chose before reading all the options...

I'd have to choose two.

[npincus]

6. i burn incense (sandalwood)

[YOY]

7. Basics? Other generics?

Because this shit costs money?

Terrytons when I had money!

10. Fuck all these smoking threads

I watched my mother die from the effects of her inability to stop

over ten years attached to an oxygen concentrator/oxygen tanks, watching her struggle to take her final breaths, as she drowned in her own pulmonary fluids, and I'm watching my sister begin to exhibit the same emphysematic symptoms

these constant threads are a reminder of this horrible reality, and they make me physically ill

have fun with your outrage at the antismoking sentiments expressed here

thanks

enjoy yourselves

[Bluebear]

12. And for me . . .

. . .I quit 3 years ago. It's a struggle. Being reminded of it 28 times an hour is horrid.

I am sorry for your mom. too :(

[Dora]

13. If they are that disturbing to you...

I am not making light of your sensitivities on the subject.

If these threads are distressing you can choose not to participate. You can hide the thread from your view without even opening it. Just click on the "x" located in each thread title, then refresh, and the offending thread is gone from your view.

I've had to hide a few threads before.

11. Home rolled

I use Gambler tobacco mainly. Sometimes I'll roll with One Spirit.

[Bonhomme Richard]

14. Roll my own

Cost me about $1.20 a pack without the chemicals.
Used to be a Kool smoker.

[JackBeck]

16. Camel Lights.

And only around 5 a day. Quite a difference from when I was buying (and not necessarily smoking) two packs a day when I bartended.

[Dora]

19. Was smoking American Spirits when I quit.... and let me tell you...

AMERICAN SPIRITS ARE TO CIGARETTES WHAT CRACK IS TO COCAINE.

Got that?

Carry on.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

20. Dunhill from England along with cigars from

Cuba when I can get them or from the Dominican Republic when I can't. If that makes me an elitist, limousine liberal, so be it. I will NOT apologize for making a decent living and a pox on those who think making a decent living disqualifies one from being a decent person.

[azmouse]

27. What did you think of the Cuban cigars?

I've had a few. Not sure they were any better than other cigars I've tried. Of course, I've heard the quality has gone down since the restrictions went in place in the '60's.

[ChaoticSilly]

21. Other

Seneca ultra lights. I used to smoke Skydancers until they stopped selling them here.

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Shield's Menthol Light 100s.....made in China.

[necso]

23. Coffin Nail Pipe Tobacco.

Plus (occasional) inexpensive Nicaraguan cigars, sundry.

[Fierce]

25. Here's my tobacco road:

Started with Marlboro Reds. Went to Camels. Smoked Turkish/Bulgarian cigarettes in Russia with Camel, Marlboro and L&M labels. Smoked Dorals, GPC, and Winstons upon my return. Rolled my own. Now I smoke a pipe once in awhile. A legal pipe, that is. ;)

[swimboy]

28. Santa used to put a pack of Dunhill Reds in my stocking.

I'm not smoking tobacco this year but Camel Lights used to be my occasional fallback position.

If you are opposed to smoking, don't smoke.

[swimboy]

29. Wow. When I kill a thread I really, really kill a thread!

:D

[pinto]

30. Locking.

There's a couple of active threads about the subject. We're going to lock this. Thanks.
