    Used to be menthols (mostly ‘blue’ mint-flavor) but, these days it’s green menthols full-time.

        Blue is mint, like peppermint, Peppermint Patty candies… Green is menthol, like spearmint or beech or something like that, more like a Vicks Salve…

          sure, thanks for the explanation (L) in my third world country only blue mint comes in cigarettes, what does come a lot here are cigarettes with fruit flavors, something like “grape or watermelon cigarettes” but they are too sweet, the kind of cigarette you would give to a 3 year old jaja

            Here in the damned ol USA, they’ve banned most of the fruit flavors… Mostly because of how much the three year olds fuckin loved them…

              I think that prohibition does not bring things to a good end, I believe more in regulation and support, after all a fruity cigarette is healthier than a normal cigarette, right? haha

                You are exactly right: Prohibition just encourages (and enriches) the black market. That’s why my ancestors were filthy ol moonshiners… I’m not sure regulation and support help much, either, to be honest… I just fuckin love to smoke cigarettes… We all love our vices, whatever they may be. And, cigarettes are probably about as healthy as the diesel burning engines I work on everyday, anyways… so… Do what makes ya feel good and gives ya good memories for later on in life, fuck it.
