I wonder what word is that Ms. Keelalagirl? :)

At least I'm the good kind.... Well at least the sarcastic funny kind who raises hell in public. Sarcasm doesn't transfer as well on the internet so you guys don't see that side of me much. I would feel awful if anyone here got offended or took something the wrong way... One of a very few places I behave... Dfh being the other. :)

Hey, keelala, my daughters and I hold that title, too! They are quite proud of the fact that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! ;)

Back on topic...OMG, I found a WOW Nuport 18 when I was looking through cartos checking colors. I was a menthol smoker, and this is the closest thing i have had to a cigarette! Unfortunately, I can't handle the 18 mgs without getting a headache, and I CANNOT place another order...I've ordered twice today.

I've had a flirtation with WOW Peppermint, and had a passing affair with Smilin Special Premium, but this...this is IT. This is THE ONE. I just have to have it in 4 mgs.

Wow Nuport is good, thanks for the tip Monsieur Morandir, but I like the premium Kamel better, even if the juice don't have as much of the spicy undertone the carts have. And the plain menthol is good too. And Parliement Menthol, not a huge fan, the carts are quite bitter, same when toping them with the juice, I may try on a blank one day, but I rather stick with Kamel Menthol :)

On the order I put this week end I am going to try chocolate/peppemint and, also, unrelated but for times I want something else than menthol 555 and RY4, I know i really liked one of these more than the other in the tobacco sampler but i can't remember which one :)

Yeah, nice thread for me too. You know, we often hear about those snobby groups who search the world over for the perfect 555 or RY4, but we seldom see the same for menthols. And we should. I do like my 555, but I sample and enjoy menths everywhere I can find them--just like I do for the champion chile or ribs at state fairs. (OK, I made that last part up, but I've always liked the idea!)

Way back in me wild PG days, I liked quite a few of VG's menth flavs. Straight menth rocked, as did Nuport. But I also recall liking the menth versions of Kamel, Virginia, Parliament, and others. In fact, I remember some guys here who were totally crazy about that Virginia menth punch. I'm not sure how I'd like those flavs today (pure VG has messed me up), but the those sweet minty memories of those premium flavs still linger...

Edit: I realize later that it wasn't Parliament but Dunhall. While the old green Parliament was tasty, I thought the later blue version, menth or not, was pretty bad. But the Dunhall menth was nice.
