Here's a tip: If you wanna get a bigga hit from your cig when lighting it up (particularly if you chainsmoking), use the cherry end from the end of your last cig to light up the new one before stomping the butt from the last cig.

I notice Newports taste stronga than usual if I use a cherry end of anotha Newport to light it up. I even rememba getting bigga hits from light cigs in the past when I used cherries (instead of a Bic) to light it up.

I heard years ago the reason why the drags are stronga from a cig that was lit up with a cherry instead of a lighta is cause the cherry puts extra nic into the new cig.....since that's the lit end of an old cig of course.

I noticed the taste IS stronger when I light up from a burning cherry. I don't inhale light ups though so I don't notice it too much.

You thought I was playing? LOL


Lighting up with burning cherries is a good way to make a light cig taste stronga, for smokers who aint used to smoking lights.

I always light up with the cherry of the last one and I really cannot tell the difference no matter what cigarette I'm smoking.

I don't light up with the cherry of the last one because my habit don't require me to have one right after another. There is usually 30-60 minutes in between each of my smokes. That first cig in the morning is usually stronger than all the rest in a day. The only time I light up with a burning cherry is if I ask someone for a light and they offer me the cherry end of their smoke. I can't remember when the last time that was or if it was a significant drag.

Haha, this is an excellent tip for a tobacco fiend like me. I don't generally chain-smoke, but every now and then, particularly if I'm in a social situation outdoors or in a smoking-allowed indoors location (usually a bar), sometimes I just want a second cigarette. I always light my second cig with the cherry of the first when I do this, and although I realized that it looks badass, I never stopped to think that I was getting an extra fix on that drag.
