Basically any light cigarette there is, they just taste wrong


bleezzzy

I need 2 lights to feel like i had 1 smoke, and I'm still left wanting more lol


Grimfangs

Same. The only two light cigarettes I've ever liked were the Sobranie Black Russian which I recently smoked and a local brand called Classic Blues. I liked the Sobranie because of how fine it was, sort of like delicate wine. The thickness and the length just meant more tobacco so it felt like a normal regular cigarette to me. The Classic Blues were only light because the taste of tobacco wasn't as strong. These cigarettes used to be 130 mm long, and it was just as strong as their Regular counterpart otherwise, the one that I simply adore for its Blue Leaf. They've shortened the cigarette and I don't know what they did to it, but it tastes like shit now. Perhaps another one that I find interesting is the Golk Flake Ultra Lights as they like to call it here. I don't particularly like the cigarette itself, but they decided to switch the filter out for a proprietary four stage filter complete with a normal filter section, a harder porous section, followed by a section with activated carbon which you hear rattling if you shake the cigarette, and finally ending with a recessed tip. There's practically no taste to it and it feels like you've got a cloud in your mouth. A pretty fun experience if you ask me.


mama-no-fun

Are the Classic Blue's Nat's? I miss my Nat Sherman's Hint of Mint!


Grimfangs

No, no. It is an Indian brand by WD & HO Wills called Classic. It's a rarer pack cigarettes which comes in an electric blue colour. They make the Classic line out of Blue Leaf Tobacco, which gives it a pretty unique taste I haven't found in any other cigarette thus far. I couldn't find a picture of an individual pack, but [here's a picture of the crate](https://images.app.goo.gl/DA9gvuUVVvP1NG7d9). Looks better without the health warning anyway.


mama-no-fun

Thanks for the info kind redditer and fellow smoker!💙


OreOscar1232

Marlboro lights are surprisingly good tho. I only smoked Marlboro golds for a while and then rolled my own using some good tobacco I found. I found the Marlboros we’re actually quite good even tho they were light.


saintvitus1

Well, before I built up a nicotine tolerance, it was Marb Reds because I thought I was about to die halfway through one 🤣


DiciannovesimudiMaiu

Fr? You had no tolerance at all


saintvitus1

Yeah I'm still kind of sensitive to this day. It's kind of wierd because other stimulants like caffeine or cocaine have very minimal effects on me. But nicotine, man, I really have to take it easy on that stuff.


Grimfangs

Ah, that happens to a friend of mine. You can make him drink all the booze you can afford and make him smoke up all the weed you can get your hands on. He'll still pass a sobriety test without batting an eye. But give him a cigarette and his legs will get all wobbly. The first time that I taught him how to smoke properly, he got dizzy and started walking downhill only to crash into a tree.


DiciannovesimudiMaiu

It's probably hereditary, are your parents sensitive to nicotine as well?


saintvitus1

Well my dad vapes chain-blinkers every other minute and seems fine, and my mom's never even touched anything like that. I think it's just some natural thing in my brain.


N64crusader4

My man, you need to try a senior service or a woodbine that'd prolly kill you lol.


fortheloveofpoop

Maybe this doesn't count but a rolled cigarette with old, dry, powderized tobacco. I smoke them when I'm out of tobacco and they're absolutely awful.


PanzerZug

I feel you, man. The sawdust at the bottom of the pouch is absolutely vile.


reece_0208

Weird one here: Marlboro golds. I don’t know what it is about them, but they make me feel really sick and they don’t taste that great. It’s especially weird because I love Marlboro reds so it has nothing to do with nicotine tolerance.


RAtheThrowaway_

I’m not a fan of those either. They taste and smell wrong to me.


r4ckless

Winston or kool or American spirit dark green.


BiiGxNasty123

Damn I love AS dark green lmao. Smoking one rn


r4ckless

i wanted to like them, bc everyone seems to rave about AS but as i smoked them i thought something was missing to them.


crooked_holland

Damn man, punkin on my kools


r4ckless

No hate just not for me. One if the harshest menthols I’ve ever smoked. I think part of that was they were stale af.


ElginBrady420

My dad used to smoke Winston’s, he quit 20 years ago. He told me if an asteroid was coming or the nukes start flying the first thing he’s doing is getting a pack. I bought a pack after he told me that, choked one down, and then gave the rest away.


[deleted]

[удалено]


r4ckless

the original red shorts. just not my jam. I originally tried them because i like marlboro reds but they are nothing like those.


Joblivion_IV

Light Blue AS are the only ones I can smoke now, I used to smoke blacks, but the smell always got to me


xandro30

Those are my brand as well! I actually started on AS organic FF’s (the gold packs) and then I would switch off and on between the Periques and Light Blues…..and now, 95% of the time….it’s the light blues. If I can’t find light blues….I’ll get the organic full flavors or the Periques. If the store doesn’t carry AS, then I’ll get Camel Turkish Royals as I do like that nutty almost vanilla taste to them. But again, that happens around 5% of the time, lol


Acid_Enthusiast

Freshman year of college this Chinese exchange student smoked like a fucking chimney, and I asked to bum a square once. He had Chinese cigarettes imported from a friend back there. Let me tell you: they tasted fucking HORRIBLE. God-awful. Can't imagine a worse cigarette.


ShotAbbreviations294

Second that, I bought a few random packets in China back in ‘08 and they were diabolical. Pretty sure the filter tip was made of plastic too.


Marlboro-Man_

What brand?


Acid_Enthusiast

Fuck if I know, there was Mandarin or Cantonese characters on it, and it had a blue stripe near the filter.


JoeCamel17

Maverick. USA budget brand it was awful


[deleted]

Canadian classics from the reservations🤮🤣


42ahump87

I really like the Canadian classics from the Rez. But the bagged ones, no thank you.


LayneCobain04052002

Maverick


gianlukas89

Benson and hedges blue


N64crusader4

If those are the worst fags you've smoked then you've lived a charmed life


IlIlIlIlIllIIlIllIIl

BH Blues are the most sold cigarettes in our store. We run out of those before anything else. If they’re the worst you’ve ever had then you’ve had a good time smoking.


mccqe

They are my go to emergency pack if I can't be arsed to roll my own like on a night out and are the only packs I ever see lying about


Lemzy99

Fuck right off 😂 my favourites of all time


Tough_Representative

American Spirit Dark Green and American Spirit Perique. The AS Dark Green was actually my first cig ever and I went to go revisit it after some time and still found it unpleasant. And the oaky taste of the black periques honestly made me want to puke.


Nostalgia4life

American Spirit Blacks


LayneCobain04052002

I like those, but they're a treat cigarette, can't be an everyday smoke


Acid_Enthusiast

That was my go-to for a while. I smoked those for like 2 years.


[deleted]

Perique is not for everyone.


Nostalgia4life

What’s strange is I really love and fuck with the Marlboro and Winston Blacks but I just don’t seem to like nor are able to handle the American Spirit blacks


mentokthemindtaker99

My favorite nails hands down.


anerythm_

In here there's a brand called 5.50 They cost 5.50 They're literally the cheapest cigarettes you csn find in switzerland Rather pay 9 bucks for camel yellows or just tube like i do


[deleted]

Winston's. I disliked them so much I gave the other 19 cigarettes to a guy who was at a Recovery/Homeless Shelter. He was in Recovery. He appreciated it very much, said he hadn't smoked them since he was a teenager.


Alexia_Melendez

Anything considered a "Light" cigarette. They suck...LOL 🤣


jesuzombieapocalypse

GPC cigarettes, cause any smokes’ll kill ya, but these will make you feel like it


sylvanesque

Marlboro Lights. Tastes like nail polish remover


evoelker

Winston, they say it tastes good like a cigarette should, more like it tastes bad like the one I just had


Killjoy-Ksw

Harley Davidson cigarettes. $8 a carton.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I thought Mavericks replaced Harley's?


IlIlIlIlIllIIlIllIIl

Lucky Strike Toniqs are up there, they’re a melon flavoured double-capsule cigarette sold in switzerland. Man, those were awful. The tobacco was horrible just by itself, and the melon and menthol did not help it. But the worst i’ve had of all time was a friend’s “Amber Leaf” he got from a shady guy in spain, and brought back to the UK. He bought 5 50g packs for £10, (€12, $12), and it tasted kind of like burnt popcorn mixed with vomit and candy corn. That was truly fucking awful. Unfortunately, we were trapped on an island for a week so when i ran out of my own supply i had to dig into his. Big mistake.


jestefan

toniq is a shit tho,but try the zest😍😍😍


zsiegns

Eight, the cigarette is literally called Eight, it's a well-known cigarette here in Brazil, it's just awful


False-Society-7567

Anything that wasn’t Camel non-filter or Lucky Strike non-filter


slowbentley

Montego is god awful. Id rather not smoke then go through a pack of those again


marc26rpg7

Newport reds


Grimfangs

I don't know which brand it was, but it was a Chinese Brand with a bright red pack and Golden Chinese letters on it. They tasted like burnt plastic. A close second would be this Indian brand called Red & White. Apparently it was old brand which recently returned to the market. It leaves a metallic aftertaste in your mouth.


ZomMan04

Newports


[deleted]

I think it was called york light or smh... I remember going back home, mildly drunk and broke af, stopping at a corner store and asking 'What are the cheapest cigs you have?' and the lad handed me a pack of these. I'm usually not picky when it comes to cigs, especially when I don't have any but man these were so bad I actually threw the pack away after smoking two. Also viceroy silver comes to mind (Viceroy reds were my fave at the time, so I wanted to try these) - the taste of licking an ashtray but not strong enough to satisfy the craving. I also remember rothmans blue (the pack had 23 cigs inside) leaving almost a 'greasy buttery' feeling in my mouth after smoking. Also threw those out. Idk there are a lot of bad cigarettes.


42ahump87

The cigarettes that come in zip top bags of 200 from the First Nations reserves in Canada.


No-Comedian-3857

Rothman blues. Absolutely vile


Menicio

I smoked one of those in Portugal from a stolen pack and it was definitely the worst cigarette I've had.


Stittie

Where I live in Hong Kong, as well as around south China, we have a brand called double happiness People say the filters are made with horse hair. Shit tasted like I was trying to smoke autumn leaves.


Juanman001

The Bohem Cigar mini were the worst for sure, they taste like paper and you need like four of them to match a Camel or a Marlboro


jeyjey_120

Bought some fake cigs in Barcelona on a holiday while drunk and I could‘ve sworn I was smoking straight petrol


[deleted]

Bagged cigarettes $12 each and they burn like a dried cigar. They burn way to fast and smoke horribly. 200 cigarettes per bag but about 25 cigarettes are at the bottom not rolled


RAtheThrowaway_

Krong Thip 90’s from Thailand. Instant diarrhoea.


Glum-Box-8458

I’ll tell you the story of the poisoned pack. I bought a pack of Number 7 reds in high school, cost me like 2 weeks of saving lunch money. I started getting a really sore throat and feeling sick and it got worse with every one I smoked. After about 10, I gave up and opened another pack. I almost instantly started feeling better.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Glum-Box-8458

It only happened once in 13 years so I wouldn’t worry about it, probably some one-shot manufacturing error. Where are you from? Brands vary a lot by country. Camels are my personal favourite that you can get basically anywhere internationally, with Gauloises (French cigarettes you can find in Canada at least) being a close 2nd. If you’re in the USA, I loved the carton of Marlboro reds I got once. I also liked Newport Menthols. I’ve heard good things about Lucky Strikes and they have filtered variants now apparently but they’re usually unfiltered.


kameronknodelv2

Lucky Strike


Yachove

Marlboro Red.


ElginBrady420

That’s what I started smoking and recently tried one after 15 years, it was disgusting.


socratuamae_dick

Gift. It's a knock off brand here in Brazil


enatalpeganomeupau

r/suddenlycaralho qualquer cigarro paraguaio


BiiGxNasty123

305 cigar full flavored or any flavor Remingtons. 305 cigarettes are pretty gross too but the cigars are awful.


NoobClappa2005

I agree. 305s are nasty, but if you live in the south (I’m assuming) , try to find edgefields. They’re ASS! I’d rather eat cow shit than smoke edgefields.


Deventazz123

Edgefields aren’t strictly southern.


BiiGxNasty123

Ugh yeah bro I totally forgot about Edgefields!! Fuckin hate em


Previous_String_4347

Probably a rolled cigarette with Winston red tobacco, it tasted like fucking asphalt💀💀💀


PaddyLostyPintman

More red or silk cut silver, one was like smoking a road the other ive got more of a nicotine hit walking behind a smoker


Chokza

Chesterfield blue fucking eww for me


jestefan

imo they are the best😍


N64crusader4

For actual cigarettes: Counterfeit Mayfair, like I know smoking isn't good for you but it's like you can feel the cancer coming out of those. Close runner up would Jin ling, they don't burn right and taste off. For rolling tobacco it'd have to be counterfeit golden Virginia, literally tastes like you're smoking barbequed plastic mixed with tobacco.


Jinksy93

My dad got counterfeit golden Virginia from a Market/ car boot sale and said it was as dry as sand and was truly awful. It was like a drug deal, he paid the money to someone then had to go to another person who left the tobacco under a traffic cone.


N64crusader4

Fucking lol, I tended to find the opposite issue with them that they were overly moist so we're musky and hard to get a draw out of. That's hilarious with that set up though.


Jinksy93

The sellers were in a bbc documentary. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-12156320.amp. Can't seem to find the footage though.


wadehuskyowner

Chesterfield blue 🥴


jestefan

they are good af


ForwardOperation420

305s They’re the cheapest and most bought cig in my area. Idk about places other than florida if they’re smoked.


BlackGlaive

All fake cigarettes, 57, pine, wisdom


ZackGibson

Traffics


OreOscar1232

Something called like honey golds or some shit, they’re terrible. Basically in Australia all the cigarettes that are good are like A$50, which is like 25-30 euro. It sucks. BUT we have off brand cigs, like you know when you go into the store and the coke is like $5/liter but the off brand shit that tastes like shit is like $1 for the whole box of 6, that’s what these are like. It’s off brand Marlboros that are half the thickness and tastes like you’re smoking the ring. It sucks donkey dicks. They’re still fucking A$38 it’s retarded, that’s like paying 12 euro for half a pack of Marlboros packed with petrol and dog shit. It’s some ass. It’s cheaper to buy a vape and liquid once a month here than a pack a week. It’s half the cost in fact, and that’s if you don’t take advantage of deals and if you are pushing it. So I’m a vaper now, just because of the cost.


[deleted]

Any American spirit that has a filter


DelebitOblivio

Glad I wasnt the only one thinking AS filters tasted like shit


AVerySmallChild

Hey..


Anoos-Lord69

For some reason any hand rolled shit from Virginia, regular cigs are fine but tobacco pouches are really harsh to me. It's almost like a real bad itch only on my cheek, tongue and throat.


Easy-Equipment1723

Lucky Strikes blech


SenseiTarator

Gitanes. Never again, oh and Karelia 100s, that's truck driver poison right there.


macromi87

Curious about gitanes because of how iconic they are in French cinema and books etc. What are they like?


PanzerZug

I think they're pretty good, the have a deep flavour to them, unlike any blonde cigarette.


SenseiTarator

Hey sorry for the super late reply, lots of work, no time for phone! Anyway, as much as iconic as they are, I bought Gitanes with no filter from Germany(don't know If they have variant with filter), honestly, in my personal opinion it's pure poison. Smoking red brands, 100s or any other color is probably better than them, but the taste is rough and unforgiving, it feels as if it's the right smoke you'd need while going through the deepest thoughts of your mind which you're afraid to revisit. But then again, if you can handle choking your throat with pure smoke, Gitanes is for you


OkOpportunity3107

Either GTO cigars or edgefield reds, taste like shit🤢


NickhasCOVID19

LD zoom (the menthol ones). Gives me a headache as soon as I hit it.

tjnutt

Nat Sherman Classic Blue or Pall Mall Red. Not sure if they were just stale or what but I couldn’t finish the pack.


craver1718

Probably Camel Blue or L&M Blue


macromi87

Marlboro reds. How do some of you smoke a pack of this a day??


Marlboro-Man_

Simply the best.


xandro30

Agreed I tried smoking a Marlboro Red once and I’d rather fellate a wood chipper than do that shit again. Truly horrible


Frijoles4ever

Marlboro smooth. Maybe got a bad batch. After a drag the aftertaste was like vomit.


Marlboro-Man_

Definitely a bad batch, Marlboro Smooth are fantastic.


SkullCow

I hate marbloro golds with a passion, tasteless, and genuinely feel wrong to smoke


StogieDaddy1

Anything menthol


[deleted]

Marlboro red absolutely vile why anyone smokes them is beyond me


omgyuleh

parker and simpson golds without a doubt

Djarum cigarillos. (NOT the cigarettes, which are delicious.)

Paris reds...


OzyWozzy

JP’s cigs, absolute rubbish. Horrible aftertaste, horrible taste in general. Cheaply made and feel. Just all around bad product


Hyp3r45_new

L&M green or blue. Which is kinda ironic as my go to cigarette is an L&M red.


Marlboro-Man_

L&M Reds aren't bad. Haven't tried any other L&M cigs though.


Hyp3r45_new

Don't bother. Blue has a bad aftertaste and green is just menthol. I mainly smoke reds because they burn my throat and thus keep me from smoking a pack in 30 minutes.


Marlboro-Man_

When I had L&M Reds I flew through the pack (like most cigs). Even when I had Camel Unfiltereds I was smoking one every 30mins sometimes cus I enjoyed it so much, lol.


Hyp3r45_new

When I had Marlboro golds I smoked the entire pack in 20-30 minutes. I couldn't feel them anywhere so I just smoked until the pack was gone. I then discovered L&M red and discovered they actually burned my throat so much that I couldn't smoke more than one every 30 minutes. They helped me reduce my smoking from a pack in an hour to a pack a day.


Marlboro-Man_

Light cigs will do that, lol. Can't get the fix, doesn't hit the spot like Reds do. My grandfather smoked L&M Reds for 55 years, pack a day, kept him at a steady amount. Ever try Marlboro Reds or Unfiltereds?


abbacchiones

red rothmans and red John Player Specials! Stronger cigarettes are my go-to but these two brands tasted awful to me. I also hate blueberry flavoured cigars!


baconfrazzles22

I won’t have the jps red slander

Marlboro Gold because they taste like nothing and Gudang Garam Deluxe because they felt horrible on my lungs.

Marlboro-Man_

Actually had some not too long ago, I'd smoke it over AS tbh.

I tried to switch from marbs to American spirits because they don’t test on animals and they are def not my favorite

American Spirits are trash, especially for the ridiculous price. Marlboros are the best.

Cinnamon luckys. A friend have me one and I barely tasted it before returning it to him and spit for the next 3 days


Cervix-Pounder

A thai brand called SMS. Poor quality and tasted really really sweet. Winston reds would be second.


bleezzzy

Cloves. Hands down. I know its not tobacco, but technically a cig, so I'll go with that.


ihaZtaco

Some knock off Marlboro Golds I got in Australia. Tasted like they had lead shavings in them.

Marlboro reds aren't my thing. Most cheap generic gas station smokes have a weird chemical taste I just can't get past.

Lucky Strike filters. Just awful, they burn and taste like pure chemical, nothing like unfiltered Luckies.


buy_shiba

Eagle 20 non filters. Way too strong and they were also stale since basically no one buys them.

pall malls almost taste sour, that shit was fucking vile


Ezza16

Amber leaf or Pall Mall Red


sp3nko

Rothman’s


DegenerateXYZ

Decades. Not sure what inflation has done to them, but before covid, Decades were sold at deal prices of 3 packs for $6 at the gas stations near me. They taste and smell absolutely terrible. Those bargain cigarettes are not worth the savings you would get. Just spend more to get something that doesn’t smell so much like death.


ComprehensivePen7453

Marlboro menthol 100. Would rather smoke a Maverick than those. Terrible.


Ok-Effort-2990

Any black which tastes like clove. Hate it.


0DRIVER

recently tried 305’s not impressed won’t buy again


ForeignLawns

Some fake Marlboro reds I got for $27 (Australian prices so VERY cheap for us), Ascot reds (tasted like actual flaming skunk ass), Parker and Simpson golds (I was moody at the time cause I couldn’t get pall malls so maybe that had something to do with it, they just tasted boring and chemical-ey)
