Ullo from a newbie
Need some advice please. Relocated to the USA in December 07 and so far so good. One small problem - I smoke Rothmans (blue) cigarettes and they are really hard to find in NJ not to mention twice the price of marlboro. I'm not loving the idea of buying Rothmans online so I was wondering what American brands (read: easily available) ex pats are smoking (or am I the only baddie left???)
Thanks in advance for all opinions!!!

I was about to commend you on your son until I read your PS!

I'm a nasty smoker too and moving here has been a breath of fresh air (hehe). I smoke menthols and the selection for menthol cigarettes in the UK is limited to say the least. I used to smoke richmond menthols in the UK but I've since switched to Camel menthols.

Ever tried Camels?

no I have never tried them, so I will give it a go! Thanks.
Bowie is so named because she has 2 different colored eyes (one brown one blue) like David Bowie. Later I found out Jane Seymour had the same thing but I wasn't going to be shouting Seymour at the dog...

This is probably the last thing you want to hear but maybe it's the time to give up smoking since you can't get your regular brand. I think I know how you feel 'cos my Mum is a lifelong Rothmans International smoker and she ain't giving up her smokes for anyone.

Oh, I used to smoke menthols - started puffing at age 10

and yet you'll still bore everyone by saying it.

After you've been here a while you'll probably find changing to a US brand is more worth your while...

I always smoked B & H back home, but they're none existent here so I changed to Marlboro Lights.....

now when I go home and try a B&H it tastes horrible...

Rushman

I used to smoke B&H too....and I'm on Camel Ultra lights here.

Not a regular day to day smoker BUT love a menthol after a few

I cant stand menthol cigarettes....like trying to smoke a Tampon soaked in Vicks.

yea with me it was a toss up between camel lights and marlboro lights.....but I remembered my cousins smoking camels in the UK and I always thought they smelt horrible...

now when I go home and smoke marlboro lights my friends tell me they smell disgusting....oh well...can't win em all...

I just remind them that I'm only paying about 2 quid a packet..... whilst they're paying 6 quid...

Rushman

They are right..Marlboro's do stink. Thats why I smoke the Camel Utras..they dont stink.

I bet you smell lovely. Nothing like the fragrance of stale smoke.

Oh, and nothing like the self-righteous smugness of an ex-smoker like me!

Rushman

My clothes probably do smell of cigs...but my cologne over powers before most people can get into range.

I was addressing the OP, not you but thanks for your highly predictible "thoughts".
