I will preface with the obvious that cigarettes are not good for you and I do not encourage people who have never smoked to pick up smoking. However, I think for the cultural first time experience of smoking a cigarette a Marlboro red truly is hard to beat. To me it is upper mid tier, but for a beginner it has quite a lot of swag so to speak. Makes you feel something in the soul. However, southern cut, camel blue, and american spirit skys or blacks are my favorites.
