    Default Favorite Smoke

    I tried to hijack the favorite tipple thread but it didn't work out. So, I am starting a new thread for favorite smoke. Way back in the day, I smoked a lot. I used a product called "Habitrol" to finally quit. That was 30 years ago. But there's a strong romantic nautical theme running through the sales of cigarettes that I have always liked.

    I love the slogan, "made to make friends". Back in the day, I used to go pub hopping on weekends in Banbury and Oxford. It was customary to offer everyone at the table one of your cigarettes before smoking one yourself and everybody else did the same. I smoked american Marlboros then, everyone else smoked those horrible Players coffin nails. I truly got the short end of the stick on that deal, but I made a lot of friends!

    Wikipedia says that the two ships behind the Hero on Players are the HMS Brittania and the HMS Dreadnaught.

    You're doing a great job, too, Rob. When they first came out with patches to quit smoking. I coughed up (hehe) 300 bucks for Habitrol patches. I slapped them on my arm and it was like I smoked an entire pack of cigarettes in one shot. I wandered why I was trying to suck nicotine out of a burning paper tube when the patches were so efficient. I managed to quit never looked back. Best money I ever spent. I'm not above a cigar once or twice a year, but I'll never smoke cigarettes again.

    That's a great one Ken.
    I guessed that you Americans would have more ships on your baccy than we do over here.
    I only smoked ciggies infrequently and was mostly a pipe and cigar man. A bout of pneumonia when I was about 38 put a stop to my smoking, as my lungs are shot.

    I actually smoked this stuff back in the 70's:

    Borkum Riff was a light house near Bremerhaven and was also a light ship so named. The stuff actually tasted pretty good and had a great smell to it.

    I never did understand the cartoon camel ads. But here's a smoking camel apparently yacht racing:

    Is that a golf club in his hand, or a tiller? Why is the boom and mainsail behind him, instead of in front of him?
