Best of the cheap cigarettes?

It seems the cheapest cigarettes currently available are:

JPS, Windsor Blue, Mayfair, Sterling, Richmond, Royals, Pall Mall, Sovereign, Dorchester.

Out of this list, which are the best, and which one are best avoided?

Also, anti-smoking brigade - don't bother. We know the risks full well and make a choice to smoke.

Sterling Menthols, at £2.15, you can't go wrong. Pall Mall at £2.06 are good too, but I've yet to see a menthol variety.

They all taste the same to me, to be honest, just get the cheapest.
Avoid Pall Mall like the plague... bleh!
Personally, I used to quite like Mayfair, and Richmond's weren't so bad.

Rollies are cheaper though, as they last longer. You just have to remember that a thin rollie lasts longer than a superking (in my experience)

Bit of a daft thread really.

Dorchester are to be avoided simply due to their reputation as 'granny fags'. I think Richmonds are all right, IIRC.
Yeah, Richmond, or roll your own. 12.5g of GV is like 2.50 :smile:, add in some cheap mock-rizlas and swan extra slim filters, cancer sticks at a rock bottom price :biggrin:

Well, I get a pack of 12.5g tobacco for £3.10, rizzla's cost 35p and filters cost 60p. That's £4.05 for about 28 cigarettes for me :smile:

&& Democracy: *shakes head* Rollies Are Tha Shizzz :dance: They stop you from smoking as regularly which I like, and they lack the formaldehyde etc. that pre-rolled cigarettes are blessed with.

They do make up for that by having as much, sometimes even more tar than a pre-rolled cig though....... :o:
Of those, mayfair

But I've always liked marlboro, despite cost :P

But then you have to learn to roll, which after many failed attempts, seems like a distant dream.

35p?! I haven't smoked in about 10 weeks, but couldve sworn that in tescos, they're 22p (well they WERE). Seriously, get yourself there instead :P

Yeah but they taste horrible :o: Roll ups are the only cigarette that "taste" bad to me...the rest taste all the same. Plus, you can't get menthol roll ups can you? :colonhash:

Weird, if given the choice, I'd take a roll up over anything else, even Marlboro Reds!
And menthol=cough remedy, not to be smoked ^_^

Has to be Royals or Sovereign. And Richmonds to be avoided.
It's cheaper not to smoke :ninja:
