It almost felt "cleaner" that a Red did, and easier on my lungs too. (Reds make me cough every once in a while.) Next on my list to try is Camel Crush and then probably a Marlboro menthol, one of those ones that you said were made for younger smokers. I also want to try American Spirits at some point.

Nix the Camel Crush. It screams "teeny bopper" starter smoke ... you just DON'T go from Marlboro Reds to Camel Crush. Smoke like a man, bro.

Remember, you don't pack American Spirits. Btw, you'll probably get a knock-your-socks-off buzz from them, esp. the full flavor ones.

Camel crush is a stupid novelty, and the menthol tastes like shit. American spirit is the best commercial smoke imo. They cost more, but you get more tobacco so it evens out

Connor,
Listen to us, please. Get this Camel Crush out of your head. Ohio's absolutely right: It's nothing but a gimmick. If you are going to pay $12 a pack, at least smoke something good. Ohio's also right about American Spirits, they are the best commercial brand. The FF non-menthol (pastel blue pack) is very good, it's an English-style blend like Benson & Hedges, but is all-natural and, of course, lasts longer.

Don't listen to them Connor! I smoked Camel Crush all through college and they're a great smoke. Not as intense as a Red, but I loved them for what they are. And they're very popular.

American Spirits are fantastic. Pricey as hell, but if you can afford them, they are a near-perfect smoke.

Kyle,
"Father" isn't pleased.

Well Connor does fall in the teeny bopper category. Lmao

HAHAHAHAHA well now I know how to stir things up on here! I think I'd fucking shoot myself before I called myself a "teeny bopper", but if they are designed for people my age I am going to at least give them a try before I decide they're a gimmick. Thanks for the American Spirit rec, I've never been able to figure the colors out myself!

I'm going out for a smoke. Hope my Camel Crush idea didn't start too much of a fight!

[ohiophil]

The only colors I know are yellow for lights, gold for organic, orange for ultra light. And green for menthol. I don't know the full flavor or perique colors

I couldn't PM you either--it says you're either ineligible to receive PM's or you chose not to. Maybe check your settings?

It does give me the option to message you by email.
