Memories bring back...

I rolled my own for a while but mostly because you got a better cig for less. I had a type of roller that basically stuffed it into a casing with a filter. Tobacco was better and you could get a whole carton of those filtered empty cigarettes for next to nothing.

I wasn’t really a hippie though, more of a rocker I guess. I played in a band and at 19 that was my whole personality lol. Worked for me at the time though.

[-]

if by make you mean widen the flares with patchwork fabric, abso fucking lately! 😂

[-]

Seattle_Lucky@reddit

Awesome. I would drift between the hippie kids and the Abercrombie crowd. Hippies were more fun but the Abercrombie kids had better drugs 🤣

[-]

DirtRight9309@reddit

idk who downvoted you, it’s true 🤷🏻‍♀️

[-]

Seattle_Lucky@reddit

I’m good with it. I’m happy smoking and drugs were just a phase for me. I feel lucky about that to be honest. My sister and best friend weren’t so lucky, and it sucks. Miss them alot

I remember they were giving packs of American Spirts away for free one year at Bonnaroo, maybe 06 or 07? They were so bad you still bought the jacked up $9 Marb lights when you found them.

Sure, they were more “natural” but all those chemicals and shit are what made the Marbs good. You can’t bake a cake without flour.

[-]

Bias_Cuts@reddit

Of course. But were they yellow or blue pack?

[-]

Seattle_Lucky@reddit

Blue was all I remember. Not sure if I ever got to try a yellow. I was at the mercy of whatever was being smoked at the time.

[-]

LarryDaBastard@reddit

I was that friend

[-]

CorporalCabbage@reddit

lol. Literally a white kid with dreads.

[-]

Entropy907@reddit

Camel Wide guy myself but I loved clove cigarette girls, something about that depressed gothic emo vibe.

[-]

CorporalCabbage@reddit

I looooved camel wides. Dated a girl who smoked them. She was a freak.

[-]

96385@reddit

Camel Wides. Like smoking two at a time.

[-]

sleepsymphonic@reddit

I fluctuated between Camel Lights, Marb Lights, and the occasional Winston Lights to feel like my dad. How I miss these times.

[-]

Entropy907@reddit

I only smoked Winstons when I had to steal cigs from my dad. Goddamn those things were like a cheese grater on your throat.

[-]

Seattle_Lucky@reddit

Didn’t Winston make the switch to more natural cigs when we were late teens? I remember trying those too.

[-]

long_dog@reddit

Yes, if we can believe their advertising. I remember the "no additives" and "no bull" advertising. I smoked Winston Lights for many years.

[-]

Seattle_Lucky@reddit

I remember that campaign. Certainly worked for us to at least try it. They also exploded the logo so it wrapped around the pack. Ah, those were the days

[-]

Bias_Cuts@reddit

I went Cloves ➡️ Marlboro Reds ➡️ Camel Filters ➡️ Camel Lights ➡️ Parliament Lights before I gave it up for a vape and then finally quit.

[-]

jbp84@reddit

Oh man…different order but that was my series of favorites. Plus the Camel special blends they released in the early 2000s…I can’t remember what they were called though.

And same…parliament lights were my longest and most favorite brand up until I quit for good.

[-]

ProbablyInebriated@reddit

I remember the camel special blends around like 2003. The orange ones were fantastic pretty awesome. I think they may have came in a tin too.

[-]

Leather_Addition2605@reddit

I had a Clove Lights phase. They weren’t light at all. It was like half clove, half Marb Reds, so you’d inhale it like a straight up cig.

After a year or so it was like razor blades to the throat.

[-]

Bias_Cuts@reddit

Oh man. Yeah. I totally inhaled cloves and yes, fragrant razor blades indeed.

[-]

Lornesto@reddit

Before I quit, I was Marlboro Lights or Reds.

I can't imagine smoking now. (Except grass)

[-]

ImRickJamesBiatchhh@reddit

You had to have the Turkish Delights!

[-]

snickerdoodle757@reddit

I went with a Marlboro menthol light for edge

[-]

eggs_erroneous@reddit

I'll bet a pack of Marb Lights costs about fifty bucks these days. That's why I switched to vaping with my Douche Flute even though I'm certain it'll kill me just as dead and I'll look like an asshole the whole time. But an addiction is a responsibility, so...

What about Bodyshop White Musk? I guess that’s more of a European thing.

This and Marlboro Menthols for the girls in our crew.

Great times.

[-]

secretsofmagick@reddit

Oh yes, I spent many a nights accompanied by my Love Spell and Marlboro Light 100s. Good times.

[-]

bloomdecay@reddit

I still wear Heavenly! I have trouble finding perfumes that smell good on me and it just works.

[-]

rhymeswithvegan@reddit

I still wear Love Spell, just the perfume version. Still get loads of compliments on the scent, still drives the boys crazy lol. I prefer it over the Gucci and Armani scents I've been gifted and it's way cheaper.

[-]

secretsofmagick@reddit

I liked this one, too!! I wanted to love it, but it smells too much like baby powder on me.

[-]

vaccadicitmooooo@reddit

With menthol lights

[-]

Delta-IX@reddit

Until fall when it switched to mulberry spice lotion

You can almost see the low rise, bootcut jeans and tank tops.

[-]

WorryNew3661@reddit

Stop! Lowrise was the best and I won't hear a word against it. Guy or girl

[-]

pogulup@reddit

I miss low rise jeans. This revival of 80s mom jeans is just horrible.

[-]

sundaemourning@reddit

you can pry my low rise skinny jeans from my cold dead hands.

[-]

CenTexPlmbr@reddit

Bruhhhhh. Agreed. Then they went high rise and super bell bottoms.

poopinasock@reddit

Growing up in a tourist town was great. Whenever I'd go out to bars or clubs I knew exactly who to talk to.

[-]

anythingspossible45@reddit

Yep, I grew up in Pensacola, so tourist and military

[-]

poopinasock@reddit

You have my sympathy. I was next to Seaside/Jersey Shore. We also had military from McGuire/Dix/Lakehurst but they were far enough that they'd only roll into towns on weekends.

[-]

Markoff_Cheney@reddit

Remember when they were called Marlboro Lights?
Good lord, and 3.50 a pack.

Of all the addictions I have kicked, nicotine is the most profitable. What a money sink. Just ask my dentist.

pardonmyass@reddit

Patchouli and Jasmine covering up the dirt weed and cloves.

My HS GF smelt like this picture. Maybe add Boone's Farm breath.

Yea, I always smelled like a smoky fruit or smoky flower lol. Depending on how I felt that day.

Or Victoria’s Secret Pear Glacé or Strawberries and Champagne.

[-]

secretsofmagick@reddit

What was the pear one from Bath and Body Works? I remember that one was popular.

[-]

GntlmensesQtrmonthly@reddit

I loved Strawberries and Champagne until a girl who was super mean to me started wearing it too. Fuck you, Jennifer.

[-]

secretsofmagick@reddit

Fuck you, Jennifer. You smelled like a boozed-up strawberry.

[-]

Treadingresin@reddit

So I mentioned pear glace' in my comment, because it was the biggest seller at VS at that time, but I personally liked strawberries and champagne better.

[-]

GntlmensesQtrmonthly@reddit

Same!

[-]

podcastofallpodcasts@reddit

And those are the girls I hung out with

Ah, smell of Marlboro light OR menthol...

I can smell it. Let me inhale it.

[-]

Bias_Cuts@reddit

For us goths it was Christian Dior Poison and Djaram Blacks.

[-]

ImmaDrainOnSociety@reddit

Parents smoked so smoking was a dealbreaker for me, I don't wanna kiss someone that smells like Mom.

[-]

Annahsbananas@reddit

Don’t forget

[-]

GntlmensesQtrmonthly@reddit

I loved this too.

[-]

Civil-Traffic-3872@reddit

I was a fan of the champagne and strawberries perfume.

[-]

GntlmensesQtrmonthly@reddit

I loved that you could actually smell the champagne part!

[-]

CherryPickens@reddit

Can confirm

[-]

caddy45@reddit

Plumeria and cigs

[-]

GntlmensesQtrmonthly@reddit

I got into the Juniper Breeze in those days, and as a non smoker, my vice scent was probably the Jack and Coke on my lips. We all wore barely-there tops in jewel tones, black Express slacks, and those Steve Madden platform slides that indicate we should all have night serums by now.
