anybody else engaging in this bizarre behavior I can’t let go of?

it takes me a month to go through a pack these days, even giving them away, because I’m one of those lucky freaks who can just smoke one here and there and not be interested in one day to day

but I’m still flipping the front middle one over every time I open a new pack

maybe (probably!) you don’t do lucky cigs – what’re you doing that’s a ridiculous holdover from forever ago?

    When I used to do this, there was usually some kind of manufacturer code under one of the cardboard flaps in the top of the pack, usually a letter and a number. Superstition was that it corresponded to the row and column of the lucky smoke so you’d flip that one. No idea if that’s still a thing.

      oooooooohhhhhh, this is interesting lore I’ve never heard before! thank you, I’m gonna ask an older smoker about it the next time I’m hanging with one
