Djarum Black
4
of course, everyone loves the pretty black cigarette, the long burn, the smooth taste, the nifty smell.. but these amazing cloves are like six bucks. and one week, i bought three packs in one day. not because i smoke 60 coves in one day, but because three packs, in a row, literally tasted, smelled like dirt. like someone had rolled up some dried out dirt and lit it up.
yes, these are great cigarettes. a bunch of us went out to virgina to stay with some friends for a week. we partied and hung around where ever, and the taste these blacks leave on your lips is awesome for a dry mouth. but if you run out, you're done. no one in the 50 mile radius of this place in virginia sells the things. not a single djarum in the entire state of virginia. so a friend of mine hands me a menthol. i loved these things. the brand. but seriously, once you go black, you really cannot go back. it just does NOT work that way.
and then i came home, and everyone was out of blacks. EVERYONE. even specials. they were just out. so i get these cherry things. they burn so damn fast and look so.. whatever. your smoking this red thing and everyone that walks by just says, 'what are you smoking?' 'is that a cigarette?' no, it's a pixie stick.
the cool part is the snap, crackle, and pop of the clove. until you realize that half of those pretty little sparkles just keep burning. i've got a burn-like dip in my video game controller, a hole in my black dress. and not just a hole, but a hole right in the belly area. i can't even wear black undies to cover it up. granny panties maybe. but who does that?
'hey, i started smoking blacks, and then i took up black granny panties.'
which is the worse habit?
think about it.
but all in all, i will smoke djarum over those weird little other things any day.
besides, the boxes are nice and broad and flat like a razor cell phone. all flat in your pocket and not like a regular cigarette box. so then all those assholes that see it in your pocket don't get talking to you and then step back and say 'oh. you smoke?'
one extra bonus, those kids with the allergies and the asthma do not complain. they do at first, until they realize their not having a reaction to it. one kid, who i have seen nearly die just walking past a restaurant, actually smoked one and did not cough or hesitate in his breathing once.
no cigarette is perfect, obviously. theyre killers according to the general public. but if you are going to smoke, why not smoke something enjoyable. people say they dont know why they smoke or they want to quit, but i smoke these because i like them and i dont find them very addictive (but since i have no intention in quitting, thats probably a bunch of crap).
if you have doubts, just light up one black, lick your lips, and tell me you dont like it. besides, if more people smoked them, people would complain less about cigarettes being foul, they would be sold in more places, and theyd be way cheaper.
