I roll my own and typically buy Bali Shag or Drum. Shag-cut halfzware tobacco has a very rich flavor and rolls smoothly.

If you don't want to roll your own and just want to buy a pack, American Spirits regular (teal pack) or their perique cut (black box) are good. Smooth draw and they burn for ages.

Dunno about burger shit but german lucky strike naturals are the bee's tits. If I had a steady supply of those I probably wouldn't have quit lol.

American Spirit were my go to when I smoked a pack every week or so for a few months. The different colors are interesting and I tried most of them.

They all have a heavy drag to them and require getting used to. I didn't mind, but some people will not shut up about how hard they drag and how long they last.

Blue: Inoffensive and a crowd pleaser. Smooth and enjoyable.
Black: Harsh to the throat for light smokers, very flavorful and strong. These were fun as a "one a day" cig on my nightly walks. They go straight to your head though.
Yellow: Extremely smooth to the point of being TOO light, for me. Casual and enjoyable when you aren't in the mood for a head high or throat burn.
Sky: This one had a charcoal filter and tasted very crisp and light. I enjoyed the difference in taste for the one pack I had.

I know you said no Marlboro, but their Southern Cut cigs are excellent. Never burn the throat, taste enjoyable, and give you a good amount of nicotine.

I used to get Nat Sherman Classics on occasion back in the day and they were fucking amazing, the menthols especially. They were like $15 a pack in my state back in the late 2000s, I can't imagine what they would cost today if they hadn't been discontinued. Probably like $30.

I also came dangerously close to buying a pack of Parliaments the other day thanks to this thread. Just what I need right now, adding smoking back on top of my can a day dip habit. Thanks assholes.

Didn't they switch the wrapper on Djarum Blacks from paper to tobacco because of some bullshit Obama law?

Yep, happened in 2009. Fucking loved the Djarum cigs. Bought like 4 cartons the day before they stopped selling them here. You can still buy the Djarum little cigars but they don’t taste nearly as good as the cigs did.

In all seriousness though Camel reds are really good. They're the best of a compromise. They are not as strong as Lucky, but with a better taste now that Lucky changed their formula. The Wide variety is good for getting a quick fix if you're on the clock, 99's for a long burn, and regular is between those two.

Started smoking on Camels Reds. Good Cig. Went to Marbolo Reds, then Newports. Then I "quit" and started smoking Swisher Sweets full time 6 months later. Then I "quit" again after a few years and went to vaping.

And I can tell you this. There is something in cigarettes other than tobacco. When I smoked cigs I had nic fits, headaches, etc, if I didn't smoke.
When I went to cigars I smoked because I enjoyed it, not because I needed to. It was something to do on break time, or when i was drinking. Vaping is the same. I can go hours without remembering I didn't hit it. It's more a habit than an addiction.
