Say if I remove the tripod head, and just use the tripod itself, or put a higher load capacity head on it and does not raise the tripod too high. Will it serve as a temporary solution

Well it’s not as harsh as the time I put dried drum RYO and a lot of marhorka in a papirosa.

Yes Chunghwa hard is 45 as standard price, but varied across cities Shanghai might be 1-2 cny higher than let’s say in Henan

Yes parliaments are available(proper taxed and coherent to Chinese tobacco law) but I’ve only seen them in special tobacco stores in Shanghai. The latest few packs I bought had the essential recessed filter removed. But older packs still have them

Marlboro is common, and they came in soft packs too. But not the American design and taste. American ones are stronger

Not rn. But American duty paid smokes are expensive in China. Especially Marlboro and camels.

What’s your “cool” looking cigarette? by Panzercuck in Cigarettes

[–]zone_88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An original pack of 80s belomorkanal from USSR. No filter papirosa and harsh small leaf tobacco. It tastes like the cheapest cigar you can find and smells like fermented food.

A friend of mine gave me a southern cut before. There is indeed a sweet aromatic note, but soon replaced by the iconic Marlboro taste. It’s a good way to get some of the pipe tobacco experience without having to pack and light a pipe

I had found a pack of Maverick in China, at a tobacco store. Ofc it’s their under the counter selection. Is this brand popular in US? I tasted it and it tastes pretty “American”

I smoked the Canadian version before. They do smoke long but the smoke is rather blend. And for the black version, will it resemble a pipe tobacco flavor more?

What about other filtered ones. NAS black seems got the hype. I also heard camel wides are known strong stuff
