How many did you ever save up and what's the best thing you ever cashed them in for?


In my high school in the 90's they were used as alternative currency, long before the internet or Bitcoin was a thing.

I never smoked

I'm not trashy

ETA: OK, I am somewhat trashy

But I never smoked

My parents both smoked so I got the good shite. They used to give away some quality stuff.

I smoked Camels back in the day. I had all kinds of Joe Camel stuff. Dart Board, mugs, shirt, poker set. I think the last Joe Camel merch I had left was an old thread-bare beach towel that ended up as the drop cloth for my daughter’s painting when she was a little kid.

ETA: I think I may still have a Camel Zippo lighter in a drawer somewhere.

Used the Marlboro dufflebag this week.

Just looked it up and saw someone trying to sell one for more than $40.

Zipper broke on mine so eventually will have to toss. No big payday for me.

Yes I smoked, quit, but still trashy.

"I want to buy a dime bag of weed but I'm a few dollars short, here's $7 and 25 Camel Cash"

Done deal.

My former BIL was a smoking fiend and had pretty much every item you could get.
He finally quit years later and seems to be doing well.

When I was a kid I found bags of these Raleigh coupons from my dad who smoked 3 packs a day. I used to play with them like it was real money, my mom would get mad because she was saving them to buy stuff from the Raleigh catalogs.

I only used cog coupons to get a buck or two discount on a pack.

Our neighbor was in charge of updating and managing displays back when it was easy for kids to steal a pack (I stole so many packs of Harley Davidson cigs). She had all kinds of cool Marlboro shite that sometimes went home with me.

I miss that first cig in the morning with a cup of coffee. Take that first drag and feel that nicotine rush extending through your arms into your hands and then the feeling of it falling all the way down to your feet. I miss that morning jump start.

I recently noticed someone selling Marlboro branded Olympus point & shoot camera (35mm) on Facebook Marketplace.
