I started smoking after I finished my schooling. I was the only guy among my friends who had started smoking after my school days got over. Despite peer pressure from my friends I just found many reasons to say No. One fine day I was out on a road trip to Shimla and there we met a group of foreigners who came forward to ask for a lighter from my friend who was already smoking. Since that day I have realized umpteen times that how smoking outside can be a conversation starter. It has happened in so many occasions and has helped me find new friends and in one case a girl friend too. So that road trip to Shimla was I made a decision to start smoking that changed my life forever.
I have been smoking since last 5 to 6 years and have smoked almost all the brands. First I used to buy some random cigarettes just to brag to my friends that I had smoked all the international brands from Davidoff to Benson and hedges. Though I continued with the small gold flake for first few months but afterwards I became a loyal fan of Classic Milds. It felt like this one was made after thousands of experiments to make that perfect balanced tobacco cigarette to help you enjoy smoking and help you relieve all that stress mildly and in a classic way. The best part is it’s name Classic Milds. I mean it sounds cool plus the packing too is good. I used to smoke classic mild when it came for a price of Rs 88 and now it is almost Rs 170. Be it in Delhi or Mumbai, Pune or Bangalore it is the brand of cigarette that I have seen across urban youth of India. Though I am planning at the same time to quit smoking which is very hard but till then Classic Mild will be my favorite brand.
