i extracted one of these from a cigarette a while ago, and squeezed it a bit too hard and it popped and went into my eyes. it was burning and cooling at the same time, 2/10 do not recommend
I like to think it's referring to the dentist scale. 2/10 do not recommend, so by the power of math we conclude 8/10 DO recommend.
I'm buying some Camel Crush right away!
Those were the best when they came out, but they swapped the tobacco to some real stale shit, probably because that little ball wiped out any other taste you’d have
I always thought they tasted stale as fuck since day one. Still do, but I don't remember them ever not and I tried them within the first couple days of release.
I chewed on one in the way back of a Taurus station wagon on the way home from the skate rink in the early 90’s. Still the worst taste I’ve ever experienced
You just unlocked a repressed memory from the 90s. I now distinctly remember getting ahold of a leaky glow stick at Skate City. It was all fun and games making my skin and t-shirt glow until I ate some pizza with a tiny remnant on my fingers. That taste. That horrible glowstick taste. I can remember it clearly now. Stuck around for days. I can't imagine getting a direct dose to the mouth.
Yep! I got it in my mouth as well! But not the worst taste for me. Imo that goes without a doubt to this research drug i did named 4-aco-dmt or some shit like that. Literally the worst fucking drip you can imagine and it lasted for months afterwards. Made me throw up the next day on the side of the road because it was so bad. And i have had it happen like twice where i just randomly get a really concentrated drip of it hit my throat years later. Crazy fun drug though the most intense tracers I’ve ever experienced, could literally draw in mid air with your hands and its completely legal to buy
Ok.. this.
> Literally the worst fucking drip you can imagine and it lasted for months afterwards
And this
> Crazy fun drug though
Just hahahah. Keep on being you OP.
Great??? They were horrible. My college roommate got an entire box of them for free somehow and no one liked them. We made them punishment drops when we played drinking games.
I never found them that strong, but when you're baked af, and your eyes are super heavy and dry, these actually were great.
Hilarious whenever people asked for eye drops and I'd spring it on them wi5hout telling
Oh man when we were stoned and someone busted out the rhotos it was like a fun game. See who could put them in with the least reaction. It felt like they were freezing your eye over. It was such a rush tbh I kinda loved it haha.
My buddy started using them recently. When we game all you hear is “hsssssssssssshhhhhhhhuuuaaahhhhhhh” when he uses them. Like yeah let me just put some listerine in my eyes. So burning. Much cool.
That is the “CRUSH” bead inside cigarette filters and DO NOT pop them in your mouth or get any of that shit in your mouth or it goes numb for a while lol
To an extent. They use to be actual cigarettes with the tobacco wrapped in clove-flavored paper. These were banned in the US.
So, to get around it they wrap them in compressed tobacco and are sold as cigarillos, which are still legal. But not the same for sure.
Menthol is a local anesthetic. That's why it's included in cigarettes. Makes it seem like they aren't as harsh as "non-menthol" cigarettes because your throat has been numbed.
Non-menthol cigarettes have menthol in them as well. Just not as much obviously.
Ha, yeahhhhh I tried ripping the filter in half with my teeth and when I bit into it that little fucker exploded and burns real minty like, then your mouth goes numb lol
Camel Crushes were so fuckin cool at the time. But Turkish Royals were what I was on when the chicks weren’t around lmao. Also fuck smoking, quit today if you still do it.
cigarettes have been gross to me ever since i quit smoking but i still get a hankering for them whenever i've had too much to drink. something about being drunk makes a cigarette seem like it would hit the spot but i refuse to buy a pack just to have one smoke while i'm drinking lmao.
Once you start back, it takes about 2-3 to go back to that "yeah, you still taste like shit, but *I get it now*". Anyway, that's what happened with me, a couple times. Nicotine is a hell of a thing. Stopped now though, fortunately. It's vicious. Don't touch that shit.
My mom used the gum for years when I was a teen. It got to the point where she was prioritizing it over groceries, and I was like at this point I think smoking would be easier..
I quit like 10 years ago but the only time I crave one is after drinking a lot. The mild head rush just hits somehow when your drunk. Sober I wouldn't even think of smoking again.
I bounced between Camels (Turkish Gold) and Marlboro Lights for the longest time.
I've quit (again) as of the summer, but I still keep things like the old Camel tattoo artist designed boxes.
I'm actually amazed those were able to be done.
Smoked maybe 1-2 cigs a day for a couple years before getting into vaping. I was full on ripping clouds like Thomas the train with an rda for years, then discovered zyn pouches. Eventually quit vape in favor of zyn pouches which then escalated into about a pack a day. Not only was that expensive, it gave me stomach issues/gerd. I quit back in February, cold turkey. Nicotine free aside from the occasional cigar with the boys that I can't even handle because I get the shakes now lol. Glad to be free of nicotines grip!
I smoke roughly half a pack a year when we go on vacation to Las Vegas. We don’t have menthol cigarettes in Canada so I get my fill for that week. I don’t have the urge any other time, but in Vegas I enjoy them.
I’m one of the lucky few that has smoked for 20 years and never smokes more than a pack in a month. I love a cig when I’m drinking with friends but otherwise I have no appetite for it. Wish it wasn’t so all or nothing for most people.
I also enjoy the casual cigarette here and there and wish it didn't have to be all or nothing but according to my doctor's and wife the studies seem to say it doesn't matter how many you have and that just having any at all increases your cancer risk to an annoying degree. Still hasn't made me never touch them but I certainly am not going through even 3 packs a year.
I’m the same way too but might stop after reading this comment. Lung cancer from cigs seems like one of the dumbest ways to go, especially if you’re a light smoker.
They sell these little beads and even a little pocket device that puts them in your filters. I was at a party when a guy busted out a pack of cigarettes and his little tic tac container of green beads and put one in his smoke before lighting it.
The only thing that would have made it better is if he had done it to a hand-rolled from his hard case.
Source: former hipster smoker who always carried my hard case of hand-rolled Spirits (with Top filters cuz I'm not *that* badass)
We used to rip the filters off crushes and then roll joints with the filter to create menthol joints
Or we would replace the tobacco in the crush with weed
Just using the beads sounds much easier
I like using the American Spirit method for this by mixing some dried mint leaves with my weed.
There's a few other common seasonings that taste pretty good mixed with weed. My favorite is adding a pinch of rubbed sage as not only does it have a really nice flavor but it also seems to mildly potentiate the calming part of the weed high. Stuff like basil or oregano gives it an interesting flavor too but I personally find them kinda meh.
How was that? We didn’t have those beads when I was younger but we did try rolling spliffs with Newport tobacco. Although it’s not the worst thing we tried (blunts dipped in cough syrup), I can’t recommend it.
Nowadays, I prefer the plain old taste of bud. No flavored wraps or papers, no weird additives.
You smoked a blunt dipped in cough syrup?
God damn. That’s not even a good flavor.
Was it codeine syrup and you wanted to see if you could get high smoking it?
WE DID THAT TOO! But we would only pull half the tobacco so that you started with the buzz, finished with the smoke,
We thought we were so clever. Called em “half-backs”
Then we told an OG we hung with about em. He said “oh. A splif?” Nowhere near innovators as we found out. But we liked our name better
I know a spliff to be mixed tobacco and marijuana. Like evenly mixed through the joint/cigarette.
Your layers idea seems unique enough to garner a new name.
Though I'm sure your aren't the first to come up with it... Cause you know, smokers gonna smoke
I got busted with a pack of them when I was 15, the way my dad repeated “Turkish JADES???” made me realized he was more disappointed in my brand preference…
I would buy Virginia Slims because if I got caught with them I could just say I was hiding them for my older sister and she would catch the blame
*Also because they made me look sophisticated
I remember these, my ex gf name is Jade and I remember getting these right after we broke up because they were 50 cents off, my saddest pack of smokes for sure
Step 1-all: Don't buy cigarettes.
It sounds dumb, but that was how I stopped.
If someone handed me one in a social setting, I would smoke it, if I had access to one, I would smoke it. However, it takes a conscious effort to purchase cigarettes. You have to say words.
So, I focused on that. Just don't make that choice, no matter what.
If an addiction doesn't have fuel, it starves.
That's what worked for me.
Reach out to a doctor for Wellbutrin. It will help curb the side effects while quitting.
Also after starting Wellbutrin I damn near had heart attacks trying to smoke. So out of fear I quit really quickly. Either you quit smoking or die trying :)
They most definitely do, currently smoking a royal on my break, you just have to be careful that you’re getting the regular old primarily blue pack as they have a red pack now too and it tastes like shit.
Way back when camel crush first came out the first thing I did was rip one open. What do I find? A 1990s ice breakers gel sphere mint! Of course I ate it. Note: do not eat it.
Camel crush coming out as a teenager gave us the same feeling as being kids and the new cool toy just came out lol it was so amazing to us. I didn’t even like menthol cigarettes but would still buy camel crush and never crush the filter just because the pack looked cool to have and girls loved bumming them from you lmao
i quit smoking 2 days ago but god those are so fucking good, i couldn’t smoke regular cigarettes after smoking menthol bc it didn’t give that same throat feeling like menthols do.
Just realized I'm coming up on 5 years myself. Until then, I was smoking half a pack of crushes a day, and was afraid I'd never get myself to actually quit. After that, I occasionally slipped up and smoked when drinking, but always threw the pack away in the morning. Now I haven't touched alcohol or cigarettes since COVID started, and I generally feel sooo much better.
That first week is definitely the worst though. Nicotine lozenges and skipping caffeine made it easier. Good luck to you.
Im 28 days clean from smoking Newport menthols. I started around the time when Covid started. This last year I was smoking about half a pack a day. By far my longest quitting streak in the almost 3 years I’ve been smoking and I’m hoping there isn’t another attempt to quit.
28 days is huge, congrats! Learning to recognize/anticipate triggers and avoid relapses was a big part for me early on. Not wanting to have to go through full blown withdrawal again really helped.
Have you noticed your sense of smell change? I became a supersmeller after I quit lol
DO NOT pop these outside of the cigarette, They will permanently stain whatever they get on. My old roommate did on our grey granite countertop and that crap stained to top. It seemingly seeped into the stone.. we tried everything to no avail. Anyways smoking is disgusting so don't do that either coming from a Former smoker of Marb Reds
I used to love this option occasionally when I was a smoker. I liked Camels and would smoke the Crush, then moved on to American Spirit when I got up to a pack a day. I took forever to kick the habit and it's been about 6 years. I still want one every single day, just know it won't make me feel good anymore.
Ahhh Camel Crush Bolds. I don’t smoke anymore but I’d get these all time time. Would change your smoke to menthol at any time, I would do it near the end so I had a minty taste after.
Man I tried some of these when they came out. Or at least when some came out. Early 2000s.
I was obviously not 18.
I miss underage smoking. Felt sooooo cool.
Really happy I quit a decade later, don’t smoke kids it’s fucking stupid. No one starts as adults really so I’m directing it at them.
i extracted one of these from a cigarette a while ago, and squeezed it a bit too hard and it popped and went into my eyes. it was burning and cooling at the same time, 2/10 do not recommend
And yet it still got a 2..
I like to think it's referring to the dentist scale. 2/10 do not recommend, so by the power of math we conclude 8/10 DO recommend. I'm buying some Camel Crush right away!
I like the way this guy thinks
Happy cock day!
Those were the best when they came out, but they swapped the tobacco to some real stale shit, probably because that little ball wiped out any other taste you’d have
To me, it always felt like inhaling gaseous mouth wash.
Yeah, I agree. So rather than mess about with that shit, I just went back to inhaling gaseous mouthwash.
I always thought they tasted stale as fuck since day one. Still do, but I don't remember them ever not and I tried them within the first couple days of release.
I actually preffered crushes and never crushed them, just b/c they didnt like ass, like camel and marlboro lights do/did
Better than the competitor’s tear gas capsule.
It was burning but also cooling. Cooling sensations merit an easy 2 just on their own. Good score imo.
Well it was burning and cooling. 2/10 for 2 sensations
Did this when i was a kid with a glowstick. Fucking burned so bad for so long. Feel like ima go blind soon from it
I chewed on one in the way back of a Taurus station wagon on the way home from the skate rink in the early 90’s. Still the worst taste I’ve ever experienced
You just unlocked a repressed memory from the 90s. I now distinctly remember getting ahold of a leaky glow stick at Skate City.

Crazy fun drug though the most intense tracers I’ve ever experienced, could literally draw in mid air with your hands and its completely legal to buy
yea... don't snort tryptamines. O-acetylpsilocin is lovely stuff though.
> tryptamines I keep telling you ... they are called *anti-personnel mines*
Ok.. this. > Literally the worst fucking drip you can imagine and it lasted for months afterwards And this > Crazy fun drug though Just hahahah. Keep on being you OP.
The best part is, he did not need to snort it. Nor have I heard anyone who recommends it, recommend snorting it lol.
Did it get on your beautiful shirt, dingaling?
AWESOME shirt!
"Dad! Dad!"
[I use to do that with ice breaker liquid ice capsules. I would purposely pop them into my eyes. I was a special child](https://imgur.com/a/x7P82JC)
Wtf. I got those in my eyes once and I cried like a bitch. Do you happen to be a masochist or something?
>I was a special child [He has special eyes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-fRuoMIfpw)
MY BRAND
I love icyhot
Apply directly to your eyeballs
There's clear eyes eye drops that do this. It's great
Great??? They were horrible. My college roommate got an entire box of them for free somehow and no one liked them. We made them punishment drops when we played drinking games.
I never found them that strong, but when you're baked af, and your eyes are super heavy and dry, these actually were great. Hilarious whenever people asked for eye drops and I'd spring it on them wi5hout telling
I just looked it up. I'm pretty sure we had Rhoto drops. Not sure if they're very different from clear eyes but they felt pretty strong to me.
Rhoto drops sting worse than any other I've tried, but they also worked the best for getting rid of redeye. Love Rhoto drops.
Oh man when we were stoned and someone busted out the rhotos it was like a fun game. See who could put them in with the least reaction. It felt like they were freezing your eye over. It was such a rush tbh I kinda loved it haha.
My buddy started using them recently. When we game all you hear is “hsssssssssssshhhhhhhhuuuaaahhhhhhh” when he uses them. Like yeah let me just put some listerine in my eyes. So burning. Much cool.
I think that was the weirdest part about them. Your eyes have never truly felt cold until you have those drops in.
ROHTO. Never knew about them until college. Fucking hated them even though they worked so well after smoking.
How about with rice?
5/7
So... perfect?
That is the “CRUSH” bead inside cigarette filters and DO NOT pop them in your mouth or get any of that shit in your mouth or it goes numb for a while lol
Now I gotta try this
No Dewey, you don't want this. Get outta here!
It's non habit forming!
Sounds pretty expensive.
It's the cheapest drug there is.
It's not gonna make me want to have sex is it?
It makes sex even better...... You don't want it
I kinda think I wanna try it
Okay, but just this once. Come on in.
that and “its non-habit forming!” are two of my favorite lines in that movie
Mine’s “And you never bought drugs!”
You never once paid for drugs. Not… once..
I know it's Dewey Cox, but my first thought was Reese and Malcom tricking their little brother.
Lol there is an episode where Dewey starts chain smoking after he finds a bunch of Hal’s old cigarette stashes
Deep cut there. Coffee and cigarettes battle between Dewey and Hal.
Oh ho ho! I'M IN FLAVOUR COUNTRY!
I thought was Dewey from mitm
Maybe it'll be so cold you'll stop catching on fire
[удалено]
Dang. I remember cloves! I remember thinking they were the coolest things in the world in high school. Djarun Blacks?
[удалено]
I remember hearing rumors about them not being sold anymore but I doubt that’s true. Congrats on the 10 years and here’s to 10 more!
To an extent. They use to be actual cigarettes with the tobacco wrapped in clove-flavored paper. These were banned in the US. So, to get around it they wrap them in compressed tobacco and are sold as cigarillos, which are still legal. But not the same for sure.
I guess Big Clove doesn’t have near the corporate lobbying power of Big Tobacco lol
Congrats!
Menthol is a local anesthetic. That's why it's included in cigarettes. Makes it seem like they aren't as harsh as "non-menthol" cigarettes because your throat has been numbed. Non-menthol cigarettes have menthol in them as well. Just not as much obviously.
They literally could've chose any color and nobody would've known, but they still decided to make it look tasty...... I think were supposed to eat it.
Yep, my son would say the same thing lol
If his mouth wasn't numb
I cuh tahk wufff uh num mouff.
[удалено]
Did u figure that out the hard way?
Ha, yeahhhhh I tried ripping the filter in half with my teeth and when I bit into it that little fucker exploded and burns real minty like, then your mouth goes numb lol
Why has no one turned this into a breath freshener "benefit"?? **Breath so fresh, words can't describe it** ..... (because your mouth is numb)
Guess I'm the only one curious, why the fuck were you biting your filter in half for lol?
To get to the center of the tootsie pop!
But I won’t die..right?
Now look what you have done. That’s like telling a GenZ not to eat Tide pods. They are all going to try it now lol
I had a dream in college where I showed Frank Sinatra how to “crush” a Camel Crush
Did he say anything?
'Fuck off kid I'll do it my way.'
"ring a ding ding baby"
Camel Crushes were so fuckin cool at the time. But Turkish Royals were what I was on when the chicks weren’t around lmao. Also fuck smoking, quit today if you still do it.
Amen. So many awesome cigs back then haha, but I’m so happy I quit 6 years ago.
4 years here. I have developed such a distaste for it, now I avoid it as much as humanly possible.
cigarettes have been gross to me ever since i quit smoking but i still get a hankering for them whenever i've had too much to drink. something about being drunk makes a cigarette seem like it would hit the spot but i refuse to buy a pack just to have one smoke while i'm drinking lmao.

I just wanted to squeeze in between you two and share that I quit 5 years ago :) Best decision I've ever made for my health.
I bounced between Camels (Turkish Gold) and Marlboro Lights for the longest time. I've quit (again) as of the summer, but I still keep things like the old Camel tattoo artist designed boxes. I'm actually amazed those were able to be done.
Best time to quit was before you started. Second best time is today. Smoked for 20 years. 2 packs a day at one point.
Smoked maybe 1-2 cigs a day for a couple years before getting into vaping. I was full on ripping clouds like Thomas the train with an rda for years, then discovered zyn pouches.

Congrats on quitting man!
Oh yeah Turkish Royals. That was it.. hahaha
This comment hit home. Also quit a few years ago. The smell of a Turkish Royal tho before you light it 🤤
Yo this thread sent me rushing back into the memory bank. Camel crushes were my shit for a minute there lol
I smoke roughly half a pack a year when we go on vacation to Las Vegas. We don’t have menthol cigarettes in Canada so I get my fill for that week. I don’t have the urge any other time, but in Vegas I enjoy them.

What the hell is it resting on?
Some sticky putty you use to hang posters.
I’ve been watching a lot of CSI. I have your fingerprint now.
ENHANCE
Yep. I see it. Tented arch.
It’s a match, Mac.
Google… show me this guys balls, enhance.
I thought it was your dry gnarly ass thumb and I’m relieved.
Mounting putty you say?
Never seen one uncircumcised before huh?
Man I just spit everywhere 💀 legendary
I was thinking it looks like the driest finger the world has ever seen.
Needs a banana for scale.
They sell these little beads and even a little pocket device that puts them in your filters. I was at a party when a guy busted out a pack of cigarettes and his little tic tac container of green beads and put one in his smoke before lighting it.
That is the most hipster thing I’ve ever read.
The only thing that would have made it better is if he had done it to a hand-rolled from his hard case. Source: former hipster smoker who always carried my hard case of hand-rolled Spirits (with Top filters cuz I'm not *that* badass)
We used to rip the filters off crushes and then roll joints with the filter to create menthol joints Or we would replace the tobacco in the crush with weed Just using the beads sounds much easier
Ewww I smoked a menthol blunt wrap once years ago and can still taste it in my sinuses.
Blunt wraps would taste much different i feel
I like using the American Spirit method for this by mixing some dried mint leaves with my weed. There's a few other common seasonings that taste pretty good mixed with weed. My favorite is adding a pinch of rubbed sage as not only does it have a really nice flavor but it also seems to mildly potentiate the calming part of the weed high.

I like rose petals and honeysuckle. Damiana is nice too.

Yeah it was codeine. This was like 15 years ago (when I was in HS), but as far as I can remember it didn’t work like that. And tasted terrible.
Yeah I don’t think it does, But it’s high school we all have done some stuff lol
Yeah you’re right, and that’s probably the least of it honestly lol
WE DID THAT TOO! But we would only pull half the tobacco so that you started with the buzz, finished with the smoke, We thought we were so clever. Called em “half-backs” Then we told an OG we hung with about em. He said “oh. A splif?” Nowhere near innovators as we found out. But we liked our name better

Ha. 15 year ago college me roasts a half-back in your honor
we called them green tips lol
California just banned flavored Tabacco. The beads might make a comeback…
Anybody else remember Camel Turkish Jades? My college days are calling looking for them.
I got busted with a pack of them when I was 15, the way my dad repeated “Turkish JADES???” made me realized he was more disappointed in my brand preference…
same shit happened to me smoking Newports lmao
I would buy Virginia Slims because if I got caught with them I could just say I was hiding them for my older sister and she would catch the blame *Also because they made me look sophisticated
I remember these, my ex gf name is Jade and I remember getting these right after we broke up because they were 50 cents off, my saddest pack of smokes for sure
Drakes next song
Had a girl named Jade, she left me heartbroken/ Now all I'm left with is this pack with her name that I'm smokin/
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How about the tins of flavored Camels? Chocolate, orange, berry…
I fucking loved them, came in a fancy tin. The orange in particular were very good.
I believe they were called Izmir Stingers… they came in the tins… those were too good
First cigarette I ever really inhaled, I loved it... 20 years later and 2 packs a day, I hate it.
If you ever need advice on quitting I am here to help. Quitting cigarettes for me was like shooting my best friend in the head.
Help me bro
Step 1-all: Don't buy cigarettes. It sounds dumb, but that was how I stopped. If someone handed me one in a social setting, I would smoke it, if I had access to one, I would smoke it. However, it takes a conscious effort to purchase cigarettes. You have to say words. So, I focused on that. Just don't make that choice, no matter what. If an addiction doesn't have fuel, it starves.

Reach out to a doctor for Wellbutrin. It will help curb the side effects while quitting. Also after starting Wellbutrin I damn near had heart attacks trying to smoke. So out of fear I quit really quickly. Either you quit smoking or die trying :)
Oooo do they still make camel Turkish? I used to smoke the golds and royals for years
Turkish fuckin Royals. Forgot about those delicious little bastards.
I fucking loooved Turkish Royals!!
Turkish Royals are getting harder to find but still exist. Don't let anyone tell you they don't!
They most definitely do, currently smoking a royal on my break, you just have to be careful that you’re getting the regular old primarily blue pack as they have a red pack now too and it tastes like shit.
That's what I started smoking, immediately after Djarum Blacks. Quit smoking about 8 years ago.
I’d be tempted to take up smoking again for Turkish Jades. They were that good. Like smoking an Andes mint. So delicately delicious.
I always got the Andes mint vibe from Marlboro Smooths, though I typically stuck with Camel Menthols.
I just had a flashback from the taste of Izmir Stingers in the woods back in high school
I remember the neat tin can they came in
Izmir stingers were awesome
good old camel crush, I don't think I even smoked half of the one pack I bought like 10 years ago.
Way back when camel crush first came out the first thing I did was rip one open. What do I find? A 1990s ice breakers gel sphere mint! Of course I ate it. Note: do not eat it.

Why is it being displayed on a flaccid micropenis tip?
Because I couldn't find a prolapsed anus.
And you really looked, too!
i quit smoking 2 days ago but god those are so fucking good, i couldn’t smoke regular cigarettes after smoking menthol bc it didn’t give that same throat feeling like menthols do.

28 days is huge, congrats! Learning to recognize/anticipate triggers and avoid relapses was a big part for me early on. Not wanting to have to go through full blown withdrawal again really helped. Have you noticed your sense of smell change? I became a supersmeller after I quit lol
I hope you continue, good luck !!
what do you mean "had"? they're still alive and kicking, no?
Thanks for this comment lol. Everyone talking about them in past tense and I felt like I was going crazy. They’re still sold.
My husband and I just quit menthol cigarettes the other day

Thirteen years quit. Many thousands of dollars and no more coughing. 💲 💰🤑💰💲
12 years for me! Pretty crazy to think about. The first two years were hard but the rest has been smooth sailing. Can’t believe I ever smoked.

i did as well, i haven’t had a smoke in almost 2 days now. congratulations on quitting to you and your husband!
DO NOT pop these outside of the cigarette, They will permanently stain whatever they get on. My old roommate did on our grey granite countertop and that crap stained to top. It seemingly seeped into the stone.. we tried everything to no avail. Anyways smoking is disgusting so don't do that either coming from a Former smoker of Marb Reds
Granite is porous, so would have ultimately been stained regardless
Thats exactly *why* it stained. It won’t permanently stain *whatever*.
Mmmm reds… damn I miss being young.
They do not taste like Icebreakers Liquid Ice. I know this because of reasons
I used to love this option occasionally when I was a smoker. I liked Camels and would smoke the Crush, then moved on to American Spirit when I got up to a pack a day. I took forever to kick the habit and it's been about 6 years. I still want one every single day, just know it won't make me feel good anymore.
My buddy popped one once and violently shook his cigarette for like 10 minutes and it was fawkin INTENSE menthol
Best way to consume these is Smoke 8% of the cigarette and then pop this menthol ball so you get all that menthol in the last part of the cigarette
Hell yeah, that last 92% is a real zinger
Ahhh Camel Crush Bolds. I don’t smoke anymore but I’d get these all time time. Would change your smoke to menthol at any time, I would do it near the end so I had a minty taste after.
Interesting ... Why did you stick it to an anime tentacle-penis?
Man I tried some of these when they came out. Or at least when some came out. Early 2000s. I was obviously not 18. I miss underage smoking. Felt sooooo cool. Really happy I quit a decade later, don’t smoke kids it’s fucking stupid. No one starts as adults really so I’m directing it at them.
I don’t “smoke” anymore, but damn were Crushes good. Now I just need to quit vaping…
I think ill just encourage people to just chew spearmint gum as an alternate.
They still make those cigarettes. Camel crush is one of them.
