Life is Unfair...

Pub Date：2008-03-08 23:00:00 Author: Click:19 Category: romantic gifts

Today is a sad day. Today I realized that soon I will no longer be smoking the brand that I've proudly and defiantly smoked for 12 years. RJ Reynolds is discontinuing Camel Special Lights and are marketing their No. 9 line as a replacement. I've always viewed Special Lights as the cigarettes for hipsters who don't want to follow the Parliament Light crowd. My ex used to smoke Specials. My uncle smoked Specials. It's like a little smoker's club, like the Masons. Fiercely loyal and willing to go elsewhere to secure their fix.

No longer will boys in the smokers gallery have an easy conversation opening by asking, "What's so special about those?"

No longer will I be able to direct new convenient store employees to "the gold pack over there."

It's like when Estee Lauder or Revlon discontinues your favorite shade of lipstick and you're torn between just letting them go and silently mourning or buying a shit load of packs, merely delaying the inevitable.

I have no idea if this new brand is any good, and if they're not, I'm in kind of a pickle. Marlboro Lights taste like Windex, regular Camel Lights give me a hell of a cough, Parliament Lights are lovely, but over 50 cents more a pack than Camels, and I don't have the patience to smoke American Spirits.

So, I bid you fairwell, Camel Special Lights, you of the "world's smoothest and most aromatic Turkish tobacco, blended with a more robust domestic" leaf. May RJ Reynolds learn the error of their ways and bring you back soon...at least before I quit someday.
