Turning 30 this week. This has been the best present i have gotten so far

She had the record wrapped up for me to open, and the pack of smokes right on top. gotta say that i have the best of friends out in Cleveland. This wasn't the first time this year someone had a brand new record waiting for me when I arrived out there.

"As he lights an American Spirit He asks how I can smoke such shit I say there's nothing like chain-smoking GPC cigarettes 'Cause any smokes will kill ya' But these will make you feel like it.'

Agreed. Always love to see him come up. Have you listened to his new stuff? I have only heard a couple songs. I think it's him and his brother?

I rarely ever buy cigarettes, but people keep giving them to me and i hate to see them go to waste. The American Spirits are an in joke between me and my friend. We went to see Molchat Doma back in February and i joked that we need cigarettes to make this properly Eastern European, so i grabbed us a pack for the show.

Nice. I just like the song and quite like that line in it haha.

The cigs reminded me of it. I too enjoy the rare cigarette, I get it.

Those sound like Lucky Strikes. With no filters and the slogan "It's Toasted" you can expect your lungs to match.

Haven't heard of those, also haven't had a GPC, but I learned the other day that it stands for "guaranteed price cut" but people have their own names for them like "generic piece (of) crap" haha.

Worst I ever had were Bronson brand. They were 99 cents a pack in the 2000s which was as cheap as I ever saw for a pack. The quality matched.

I haven't had too many different brands, but once a friend stole a few from their mom who got them on the reserve (she kept them in the freezer). They were like 100 in a plastic bag haha. They were pretty harsh, but then again, that was back in highschool.
