Smoking
Posted in Buttlist, Main, Personal Health on April 25th, 2008 by MarkusI am smoking Bugler. I’ve been smoking about a pack a day of it since, oh, I don’t know, around the first of the month.
I first fell off the wagon this time with Marlboros, my usual. This was on March 27th if I recall correctly.
They tasted like crap though, and made me feel like crap, and I didn’t really enjoy them.
A notion occured to me: ABM–Anything But Marlboro.
So I bought a pack of Bugler.
A few things I’ve noticed about it: it doesn’t make me cough like the Marlboros do. I also genuinely like the taste.
It makes me work for it, too. That’s kind of good.
They’ve improved the papers. They’re not like the Tops carpets anymore (they were like that, right? It’s been a while). They’re nice little folded papers–imagine a typical 1.25, only not 1.25; smaller, but just right for a good cig. They’re glued onto the side of the pouch with gum rubber. Handy.
A pack of Bugler is around two bucks; a little more some places, a little less others. That’s two USD, so as you can see, it really isn’t very much at all, especially in Europe.
Of course, I’m still chewing the gum too, so there is that.
Don’t smoke, by the way. It isn’t cool, it sucks. It’s also horribly sloppy, and rolling your own is especially so. Still I choose to do it. I can’t excuse it; I won’t even try.
Most of all, don’t come rapping on my iron lung with your complaints, assuming I can hear them for your tracheotomy. Well, you could probably get one of those little boxes like the guy on South Park. Yeah, that’s funny shit. Sigh. Time for a smoke.
