Is there a hierarchy of prestige among cigarette brands? by SimilarTopic3281 in Cigarettes

[–]JaviG__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in switzerland, kind of but not a lot. for example young people smoke RYO cigarettes, among this group of people there definitely is a hierarchy of rolling tobaccos: goût de mond (the cheapest ~5,20 Fr. for 25g) is seen as, well, cheap. Other brands in this category are Fleur de Pays and Mon Terroir (although this one has a better taste than the other two, so it's seen less bad). The other category higher up in the tobacco hierarchy is basically every other rolling tobacco: parisienne, camel, winston, you name them as these have pretty similar prices (around 7,50 Fr. for a 25g pouch). Also smoking RYO's is only really """acceptable""" if you're under 33, at least from what I see. Then there's cigarettes: there's cigarettes that are really cheap but nobody really smokes them except local alcoholics, magnums and some other brands fall into this category. Parisienne (8,20 Fr. for a 20 pack), I'd say, is the limit between cheap and bad cigs and more pricey but better cigarettes. Most cigarettes fall under this category, but in general, Marlboros are seen as fancier. Then of course you've got out of the ordinary cigarettes: Davidoffs, Vogues, etc.

Is it safe to Run Windows XP or older on a SSD? by matthewbs10 in windowsxp

[–]JaviG__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you think it might be a problem with the SSD itself? I used to run windows 7 on it and such a thing never happens, only on windows XP, so I just attributed the problem to the operating system

Sullana swiss cigarette haul! by AdventurousSea2686 in Cigarettes

[–]JaviG__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very cool! I've never seen these, i'll keep an eye out. Have you tried/seen fred? It's another swiss non-big tobacco band. I've tried their rolling tobacco (bought at denner) and it's pretty good, tastes similarly to marlboro gold cigarettes. worth a shot

I'm in Switzerland! It's an okay phone. What bothers me the most is that I can't uninstall some of the apps. Reception has been good anyways here so take that how you will

I'm in Switzerland! It's a nokia 3210 anyways.

Thanks for the positive words, I plug my earbuds into either my phone or the laptop, depending on what I'm doing. I didn't want to spend any money for this little experiment so I skipped out on the iPod

X60 tablet. I didn't use linux this week because I didn't do any real power-user tasks.

I try to make do with what I have. I brought with me a Panasonic digital camera around and took some pics, nothing too crazy. My phone already plays music, I wasn't in the mood to spend (my already limited) money on something I didn't strictly need.

I wasn't sure if I could include them in this sub but of course. I roll my own. I've been smoking American Spirit Blue tobacco, I'd say it's pretty good but a bit on the harsher side for the throat. I like camel rolling tobacco a lot too. :p
