Strong vapes without the fruity flavors work pretty well but it's still not the same. You miss out on the ritual aspect of lighting up a smoke, taking that first fresh drag and exhaling.
I tried a "strong vapor" and it didn't feel like the real thing
I edited my post to talk about that exact thing, my go-to has always been unfiltered Camels but they're basically impossible to find now.
Camels been my go to in the last decade, but they changed something now they're too weak and burn too fast. I smoke only Winstons, good cost x benefit and they scratch my lungs real nice
I noticed that too, the regular Wides are still good but like unfiltereds almost impossible to find. The quality of the Turkish Royals (or whatever the blue pack is called these days) has gone to shit. Spirits are as good as ever, but they're big ass cigs with a slow burn and not good for a quick break. Chiefing one of those feels like an insult to the smoke.
That's the thing, there's this whole process to smoking that you just don't get from a vape. I'll still flick this one out of habit because it's shaped like a regular cigarette.
If you're old enough to remember unfiltered Lucky Strikes before the NY mandate to put anti-flammability poison in them...
I remember, I got two good years in college before the FSC shit came into effect here. Luckies used to be my go-to when working vs. the Camels when drinking. So smooth and clean those Luckies were, you could taste the toasted tobacco...good times.
I always keep a pack of black Spirits on hand when at the bar for that reason. Probably the best nowadays although I've always liked the menthols.
It really is true.
I love rolling cigarettes, too bad people will think it's a marijuana blunt and if i smoke on the streets i might get stopped by the military police. The cost is great too, way cheaper then regular cigarettes
