Don't buy cigs from Smokemcheap.com! Their butts are so stale, they are not smokeable. I just ordered 4 cartons of Marlboro reds and gotta ship them all back.

They also aren't that cheap;)

Try Yesmoke.com or cigarettessentdirect.com(for CHEAP Generics) I smoke the Niagra full flavor and they are only 10.50 a carton:D

Yesmoke is okay, the Euro Marlboros are different. They are lighter and burn slower.

I do have to quit though. These butts are killin me.

Stale to a smoker = the tobacco has REALLY dried out and burns really fast. It changes the flavour and makes them pretty harsh. :)

I want to order from yessmoke.com, but was wondering about the quality of the cigs, considering they are manufactured all over. THe ones I smoke are manufactured in the Phillipines, I wonder if they taste the same..

The smokes I got from Yesmoke were Swiss made.

Whats quarterly sales targets, and channel loading? These butts tasted like they were a few quarters old at least.

where you have to meet a quarterly sales target or analysts pummel your stock, nvidia channel stuffed for the xbox in asia, and that combined with with a process technology price drop gave them a 7M loss on buying back millions of GFX chips at a loss and then sitting on them while they slowly sold in japan.
of course with perishables like cigs they are only fresh for so long.

First, let me say you should really quit. I did, and it's been almost three years now. I had smoked 2+ packs a day for 15 years. Smoking has killed many people I know and love. Even though I don't know or love you, it would still be a bummer to know you smoked yourself to death.

BUT, if you're going to smoke, buy from yesmoke.com. It's the cheapest, and the Euro, Swiss or Phillipino smokes (they sell Marlboro Lights made in all three locations, your choice) taste just fine. My GF's aunt and uncle order from there, and I tried one of their Marlboro Lights. It tasted just like the ones I used to smoke. They say the Euro ones (brown filter) are just a slight bit more mild but I couldn't tell.

Best of all, you pay no federal or state taxes, and there is no way in hell any state or federal government is going to make a Swiss company hand over customer records. Think of it as an individual tax protest.

It always seem funny to me to hear smokers talk about how some cigs tast better than others. They all stink to me.

The world of tobacco is a vast and complex one.
So many cigarettes, cigars, English tobacco, aromatic tobacco, virginia, oriental...man.....I think I need a smoke. I have a tin of Cairo that I bought last Feb and still haven't even opened!

Lucky for me, sealed tobacco doesn't go stale :D
