been smoking 'em for years. (I too remember the various free promos they offered)
Totally NC, the rolling tobacco is great, as are the Black box, and the "Blue" one, everything else is too much filter for my taste.
Still, they're not the king of cigarettes. Camel Straights FOREVER! (okay, till that lung totally falls off)
Wish I could succesfully quit. But, since I haven't yet. Spirits are a GO.

Too hard to draw on and they burn too slow. They taste like hay. I like the chemicals in cigarettes that make them burn fast and stay lit. That's why they put the chemicals in there: to make them addictive and smokeable. Screw American Spirts' reputation for being healthier. If I wanted to be healthier I wouldn't smoke atall.

American Spirit Yellows - love 'em.
I laugh at the people complaining about them being too hard to smoke, etc.
I like to relax and have a smoke, not power huff it down.
Don't feel like I've smoked anything with a camel or marlboro or whatever.
Therefore the 7 min to smoke one cigarette factor of American Spirits = not crap. Especially for long drives.

Too hard to draw... Burn too long
The trick is to loosen the tobacco by gently rolling
the cigarette between thumb and forefinger;
from end to end.

I just did this with the Pall Malls i'm stuck with and it made it way more tolerable. I'm not sure how I didn't think of this. Thanks!

American Spirit Lights (yellow box) are basically the only cigarettes I've smoked for about ten years. The other brands I've tried on rare occasions, even other American Spirits, taste like utter shit now -- too sweet, too chemical, too harsh, or else flavorless; even the second-hand smoke from other brands smells bad to me. If A.S.L.'s went out of production or if the formulation changed noticeably I would stop smoking altogether.

marb lights, I don't smoke alot, but marlboro lights are pretty much the only cigarette I buy, ...camel lights are an odd flavor as well.

Santa Fe Tobacco, the company who (I guess?) makes American Spirits, will send you two $10 gift certificates just for registering on their website. Since I did this I have not only gotten (and spent) said certificates, but also a non-crisp $10 bill to be used any way I like.
My friend, who also signed up, has been offered a bunch of free tobacco as well.
Santa Fe, your promotions are mysterious! But I like your smokes, so hey!
