naw man, parliament full flavors are a delicious cigarette, and the p-lights aren't bad either. if anything stay away from allllll menthol, that shit is just way more terrible and harder to quit (from what i've read on wikipedia), but they taste decent. if you want a good cigarette, marb red. classic choice right there, as for camels, wide lights are equally delicious, but i just dont like camel filters, not that good to me for some reason. american spirits are awesome cigarettes, good call on that, but for real if you want to start smoking stick with reds, and just have 1 or 2 a day. no need to have more than half a pack unless you are drinking. as for cloves, get some, clove splash, bali hai, and djarum blacks are all really decent. so yea, so many options, but for a first time smoker pick up a pack of reds, bust them with a friend and try to make 10 last you 3 days.
