For the smokers in the lounge

[tallyho]

what brand do you smoke? do you use a case to hold your nails? what kind of lighter do you carry?

aside ffrom Lucky Strike, Camel, Players Navy Cut, Pall Mall and Chesterfield, what other non filter smokes are out there?

I once got some Dimitrini #10s. they were the best smoke I have ever had! they were from germany. the came in the most exquisite flat box with folded over tissue and foil.

It varies somewhat - I'm trying to switch to a pipe when I'm working at the moment, but on the whole I generally roll my own cigarettes. For formal occasions I have a white jade cigarette holder, and a lovely chrome-plated art deco case. My regular lighter is a Ronson Varaflame - modern build, but a very vintage design.

Machine-made cigarettes tend to be Player's Navy Cut for me, in the holder. Since I look like a Bond villain anyway, I figure I might as well work with it! lol

 

[tallyho]

the brand that I am trying to find is actually called Dimitrino. specifically their No 10. I am not having any luck finding them anywhere, even on the net.

I'll ask next time I'm passing Davidoff, they might be able to help you.

When I was smoking I looked for the Player's brand without success.

But I smoked Camels and used a silver cigarette case.

Thanks for the heads up. I just e-mailed them to see if they have any.

I quit smoking back in February (I was turned down for a job because of it - they didn't hire anyone who had been a smoker in the past year!) When I did smoke, however, it was Camels. Usually filtered, but sometimes unfiltered. I had no artful case or lighter.

I do, however, still have a proper cigar lighter for the times when I smoke those or cigarillos (I forget who makes the lighter?)

Ive known the owners of Edwards for nearly 30 years, even worked for them once at their original store while in-between regular jobs. Debbie runs the Los Altos store and Flip runs the original store "Smoker's Paradise", nice people.

Nat Sherman's MCD King size for me. I only found one place that carries them in my area.

What I find is the worse a cigarette tastes, the more I smoke. The MCDs are satisfying enough that I can smoke less.

I have my father's silver cigarette case, but it only accomodates non-filters. I might be tempted to go back to non-filters if I could find Chesterfields, they're the mellowest non-filters I've tried.

I use a filtered holder, and it's scary how much black gunk builds up in it in a week.

I smoke mainly Chesterfields when I can, but sometimes they're not easy to find. When I can't find them, I smoke Pall Malls. I'm actually trying to quit cigarettes all together since I enjoy cigars a lot more. I carry a Zippo lighter, but have never used a case to hold the cigarettes.

 

[tallyho]

does Chesterfield still make non filter? I used to get them, but i have not been able to find them in the last year, just the filtered ones from them.

I used to visit Santa Claus at that shopping center! Lyndon Johnson was in the White House at the time...

I smoke Nat Sherman Classics normally, but if I want an unfiltered cigarette, either Players Navy Cut or Lucky Strike if I can't find the Players. Since I usually only smoke 5 or 6 a day, I keep the packet in a zip lock bag to keep them fresh and put the day's allotment in either a vintage Har Bro silver case or a cheapie stainless one that I found at my local tobbacco store.

For lighters, depending on my mood I have two or three Zippos (my current daily user is a brushed brass 1937 Vintage model), or a modern Dunhill lift arm lighter with a rhodium finish and brown alligator wrapped around it, the model name of which escapes me at the moment. I've been told it's a fake, but if it is, it's a good one. Excellent fit and finish, and it stays filled twice as long as any of the Zippos.

Cheers!

My local store will order about any kind I want...

Re: Chesterfields

I don't know if this will help you in So.Calif. Tony, but here in the bay area many of the Walgreen's (aren't they a statewide chain?) pharmacies sell Chesterfield non-filters. They often seem to go on sale in "2 for $5.99" deals which is about as cheap as you'll find a reputable brand cigaret nowadays.
I have a 20s enamel cigaret case which is rather dinged, alas, and only holds C'field or Lucky Strike length, not Pall Mall length I buy what's on sale. I hear you about the smoothness, though--I tried some Camels recently and (that is the gasping-for-breath emoticon, right?).
What I really need is a cig holder.

Thanks!

Tony when Johnnydnh was smoking (as recently as last year) he ordered his Chesterfields from cheapcigarettes.com

Oh, he also used beautiful vintage table lighters.

I roll my own using an injection stuffing machine. I can turn out a pack in about 5-10 minutes depending on how fast I am trying to stuff them. You buy the cigarette tubes with the filter already attached. There are so many premium tobacco's out there that are so much better than any prerolled cigarette. I have been ordering nice tobacco online for about $16 a pound and the tubes are around $2 for 200. The pound will roll about 2 cartons so you're looking at $20 or so for two cartons of cigarettes.
If you ever go this route you will never buy a prepackaged cigarette again....they taste dry and harsh compared to a freshly rolled cigarette....not too mention saving you a ton of money!

I have a small silver case that holds 7 cigarettes and I carry a small zippo from the 60's.

The shop where I have ordered my tobacco and supplies is http://www.cigarettetobacco.com/
I have tried several of thier tobaccos and can recommend some along with a stuffing machine if someone is interested.
