| I personally do not like the "taste" of filtered cigarettes, expecially lights.
Not sure what the "taste" thing is really about. It is not like eating candy or drinking beer. It is more about the impact or the sensation then flavor. Which is difficult to explain.
Yet I see tobacco companies advertising flavor, or "that it tastes good like a cigarette should", etc.
Once I got a pack made in India and I did not like the taste it made, so now I make sure they are made in the USA or South America. (not Mexico). Some climates are better suited for growing and ageing tobacco, same with wine, and coffee, in my viewpoint. But that might just be due to the traditions I grew up with relative to advertising. Our country has been growing and making tobacco products as far back as the George Washington days. Tobacco and lumber was our number one export item in the early days when we were mostly close to the east coast. Stuff made from hemp plants, and furs that we traded indians for became another export that helped to get America on it's feet and running. As we started to head westward we got into cotton, corn, wheat, and even furniture making, but those things were mostly sold within our own country.
We should have the tobacco plant on our coins instead of the bald eagle, Because that was the product that saved our ass economically when America was just getting started as an exporter and importer. Yes, the indians gave us the turkey, but their gift of tobacco is what really gave us our first taste of success. I would propose that we have a big smoke out every Thanksgiving Day so we can remember our great American heritage as tobacco farmers. |
