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.

    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.
