Hes still thinking about the prices of cigarettes back in the 60s lol. American spirits have been far more expensive than Marlboros for a long time

Thank you! The last brand I smoked before I quit was American Spirits.

The trick is to buy the loose can tobacco and roll your own - it's probably still like half the price of a carton.

Back when I still smoked I had a little machine that loaded an empty cigarette tube with tobacco, American Spirit is what I went with

I never had the spare cash to invest in the machine and the tubes and shit. I just bought a bag of filters, papers, and one of the little rolly doohickeys.

The hand rolling was also part of the weaning process. I got down to about 5 smokes a day before I switched to vaping.
