Du Maurier by Lucky Strike???

[importzxtt]

So I recently got a pack of dumaurier cigarettes and was surprised to see the new packaging. But the worse part is the blend is not the same as before! How long now has it been this way? It there any place to get the old versions? So disappointing, these were the only cigarettes I like and they have much nostalgia.

It's time to switch to vape and leave the old school cigs to rest in peace.

Smoke dunhill instead, that new du maurier is crap

[importzxtt]

I hate vape, products and smoke. I really prefer the real thing.

Those new dumauriers are real disappointing. They were never the most expensive cigarettes but were in a class of their own imo. Now, it’s like an off brand or something.

I know this isn't what you want to hear or believe, but it's psychological.

If you Google it, you will see that for more than 10 years people are always complaining on various internet forums that the cigarettes taste different every time a company changes the packaging.

Long-term smokers find plain-packaged cigarettes taste worse

Tobacco companies have denied changing ingredients, and co-author and PhD candidate Ashleigh Guillaumier said the study's findings highlight the power of branding.

"It's one of the main reasons that the tobacco industry fought so hard against the introduction of plain packs," Guillaumier said.

This is from 2 years ago when du Maurier Canada first rolled out that new packaging.

Did anybody notice a drop in quality of DuMaurier cigarettes with the arrival of the new plain packs? The cigarettes are like the quality you get in bags from the wagon-burners. They no longer have the du plus filters or the resealable flaps for freshness. The tobacco seems darker and more harsh tasting. When I go back to the old style packaging they are delicious. Wtf is up with that?

BTW, the cost per pack has increased... I knew the packaging would be bland, but the cigarettes also became bland with cheapish tubes.

In fact the cigarette companies themselves did this marketing research and came to that same conclusion.

Market testing results indicate that such imagery is so strong as to influence smoker's taste ratings of the same cigarettes when packaged differently.

Let’s be considerate towards our health.

I used to smoke both, but stopped about 12 years ago.
That herb thing is a misnomer, no? Unless you smoking local bud or high grade sheit (that most people not)
Press has a sticky oil that's 100x worse than tobacco tar.

Most of the few smokers I know use cheap -probably expired and repackaged- illicit cigarettes.

One showed me a cigarette from a just opened pack and pointed out the greying slightly moldy paper. He smoked the whole pack anyway. Costs like 1/4 the price of WITCO products.

If yuh already killing yourself smoking, i figure the mold is the least of his concerns.

Nothing beats the comfort of sitting back and smoking a j for me. Brought in some king palm leaves as well for when I feeling sexy. Have Arizer solo 2 for dry herb vape. Passed through the pax 2 as well

Them glass pipe and bong is straight business and cuff to chest, no foreplay and no lube. Quick justice

Make one for meh nah :/

[Les Bain]

Officially quit smoking years ago but the little stress makes me buy a loose cigarette every blue moon.

Last one I bought was roughly the same price as a half pack from when I started smoking in my teens.

Never again. If they want to dissuade smokers they should replace the gross health effect photos with the price increases over the years.

In 2002 when I worked at witco, there was a planned decrease in tar / nic
However, the packaging was ready before the blend was changed
So it was the 'full strength' duM in boxes with the lower tar / nic label
Immediately, consumers began complaining about the 'new' blend being weak
Perception is a helluva thing

Then when we were doing the test market for the new duM graphics, we limited sales to two specific towns
People from those towns began searching for the 'original' duM because the new pack experimental version was smoking different
It was the exact same cigs, just in a new box

Yes, the psychological effect from the changes in the pack are very real. I have seen some of those studies before but these new dumauriers are really not a dumaurier at all.

That handmade chillim is cool!

Hand rolled spliffs are the thing for me. I use Peter stokkebye London export (closest flavor to dumaurier) and the best grade I can afford at the time. 95% of my rolls are straight rolls using JOB organic hemp papers with the glue strip removed.

If don't deal up in cigarettes or the green man manifesting herb but I like me a lil cigar now and then. Expensive in this country though and don't think you are allowed to import tobacco products again. Got a really smooth one called Santo Antonio from a Brazilian cigar company at Havana hut in woodbrook. Really like the smoothness

It does exist

Yeah man I love cigars too. I’m smoking an Oliva serie O right now. I actually find them more relaxing than herb. I love Tobacco from the Oliva family, Eiroa family and some others. I had a Cuban Cohiba Robusto Linea 1492 the other day and it was phenomenal. There’s something about Cuban Cohibas, anytime I smoke one it’s like a familiar taste to me like something I’ve known all my life but I’ve only been smoking cigars for about two years now.
