Dear John,
Smoke can be a metaphor for something most pleasurable.
But I won't go into any graphic detail.

Dear Captain_Fil,
Given your (likely) meaning, more a euphemism than a metaphor, methinks.
Regards,
John |

Dear John,
Methinks that my euphemism is of something you enjoy, too.

Gentlemen, forgive me, but this is straying weirdly into get-a-room territory....  |

Dear spiral78,
Metaphor? Euphemism?? A scholarly discussion of the differences between the two??
Hardly "get-a-room" territory, my good spiral. Honi soit qui mal y pense
Regards,
John |

Got to agree with Spiral78 here. This was supposed to be a topic about the escalating price of cigarettes...not an outlet for a dirty old man to reveal his fantasies; however tame and uninteresting those fantasies might be proving to be.
Anyway, I'm on the Golden Virginia roll-ups these days...strong enough without being overpowering, a smooth taste, and only �3.89 for 12.5grams to boot. |

Dear eutobound,
I think I'm probably the only dirty OLD man here; I believe Captain_Fil is a dirty young (or at least youngish) man.
Regards,
John |

Dear John,
You're right. I am a dirty young man.
When you were a Marine in Vietnam, I was just a child in elementary school.

I liked Baisha when I was there, about 50p usually. The Marlboros always tasted a bit funny to me, though I may have been buying fake ones for all I know. |

HongHe 88's are similar to marlboro, currently 8 RMB (= $1.25) per pack.
made in the genuine virginia style, according to the label.
for the cheap charlies, there are other brands running 3-5 RMB per pack.
and for the destitute ESL teachers, there's always the option of
hanging out at weddings for the free cigarettes. |

When I went to see the Terracotta Army last year, I ran out of cigarettes and asked an elderly Chinese chap if he had one to spare. He pulled out a second pack from his jacket pocket and gave me the whole lot. So maybe tipsy old folk at weddings will be even more generous! Minds due, that was the October national holiday, so maybe he was already in party mood. |
