They're just too expensive and burn way too fast. I'm not sure if it has something to do with being an FSC, but there's something in them that gives me a headache after just one cigarette.

I'm making Camel Blue 99's my regular smoke from now on, and Newport 100's my menthol.

Bye Bye Marlboro!

It's been a while since I bought a pack of cigarettes since switching to myo, but I remember marlboros burning insanely fast, I smoke pretty fast and all but they were gone in like two minutes. It varied though some would last a decent amount of time and some would burn so fast I felt like I hadn't really smoked and would light another. I can't think of any other cigs (Dunhill, Camel crush, pall mall, and even nf lucky strike) I've had that burn so fast. I see people at my work smoke them for two or three minutes then they're done since it's two thirds gone. Dunhill international are similar to reds in flavor being a little richer less harsh and burn longer, they cost like 50-70 cents more. Largo pipe tobacco(ryo relabelled) has a similar flavor to reds imo too and they're cheap.

I smoked Marlboros for years. They use to be a really
good cigarette with a great flavor.

I don't know what happened, but back in the early 90s I started
to notice a change. I remember sometimes opening a pack and the filter paper
wasn't even wrapped on right.

But the big think I noticed was the flavor. My wife even noticed they were started
to smell bad.

I eventually stopped buying them and tried other brands.

I have friends who will say the same thing about Marlboros and have left the brand.

It would be interesting to know what Phillip Morris did to mess up a once really good cigarette.

I noticed a big change when they went FSC.I cannot stand the reds now.I smoked them for 20 years so I should be able to tell the difference.Of course pm said they didnt change anything but the paper.I smoke Lucky Strike and Camels now.I think Reynolds makes a better FSC.Most pm smokes taste like crap now and give me headaches.The exception is the Marlboro 27 blend.I do like those still.Nothing beats a Lucky though.

I'm glad you are not a heavy smoker.

Going from Marlboros to Camel 99s???!! At least get the original Camel Lights, there is something funky about the 99 version which reminds me of filtered Pall Malls.
