For me it was unfiltered pall malls/camels/picayunes and a few other brands including rolling my own with pipe tobacco. I had to quit. My lungs came up and slapped me in the face one day as I hacked them up..
I still love going into pipe shops, lifting the lids on the jars to deeply inhale the scent. or walking in the cigar rooms to smell the mixed scents.. lovely smells.
Was driving through easter NC a couple of weeks back admiring the nicely growning tobacco. Coffee bean jars are another favorite ...
My grandfather smoked cigarettes and pipes. I have his meerschams still.. the naked lady, my grams said, was obscene. Nicely mellowed in all the right spots. I admired that one in particular, even as a small girl. He chewed red man when he hunted.. I was about 7 or 8 out bird hunting with him, when I asked for a taste. He didn't hesitate to cut me a plug. It was the first and last time.. that stuff is just plain nasty..
My mom considered him a bad influence on me.. he also got caught putting bourbon in my baby bottle and letting me have sips of his bourbon laced coffee. I think he found it vastly amusing to defy her dictums and to indulge my whims.
