unfortunately can't remember
my first cigarette. I have a feeling it was one that me and some chums had piked from someone's dad.

my first forays into proper smoking though....

age 15, on the ferry to France with my mate to stay with my aunt for a week

nothing to do on a ferry? let's smoke Marlboro Reds, and play fruit machines and poker

week in france? age 15? nothing to do there either. let's smoke more fags and drink beer.

most of the week was spent cycling round in the sun, beer in one hand, marlboro in the other.

good times.

I still have a soft spot for Marlboro Reds. a man's smoke, like Lucky Strike.

I don't smoke (cigarettes) these days, but I appreciate the enjoyment that others get out of them, and I'm all about overturning the smoking ban.

I get lonely sat in the pub on my own :-(

The sweary one smokes Marlboro Reds
Lung bleeders, she calls them. I nick the odd one, but really, I find them a bit harsh.

reds
the only marlboro's to smoke.

theres a flavour like no other cigarette, its why once you start liking the reds (or the lights) nothing else tastes like them. Luckies or camels aren't bad.... but it ain't a red.

you're right about the flavour
I make do with plenty of spliffs these days, they taste best, but I'm terrible for my cigarette envy....
