Navy Cut, now in Qatar

By far, the most preferred smokes among the youth of India, are now available in Qatar.
Wills Navy Cut - its story is strange. It's a cheap brand of cigarettes. Sometimes people ask you, what brand do you smoke, some say Marlboro whites, reds, some say Classic, some say Benson, but there'll always be one at that table, probably with long hair, a beard, specs maybe, wearing a Kurta and jeans, the artistic kind that still probably uses a steel glass filled with a lil bit of water for ashtrays at his home, who casually takes out his Navy Cut pack and lights one up.
And trust me on this one, each of the rest on that table, will collectively go, Man! Navy Cut!
Every smoker's smoked them in his/her college days, some continued, some moved on to other brands to look a little classier. The love, never died.
Eeeeeeeehaaaaaa!
Last night, when I saw them here for the first time, the grocery store guy thought I had gone mad. My face turned as if I were orgasming staring at the pack kept behind him.
The last time I smoked like I smoked last night was when I was in school. When my parents would go out for lunch or dinner, and I'd take out one ciggie and smoke it like there's no better thing to do in the world. There wasn't actually. Not back then, until smoking just became another habit - an act you perform just to see smoke come out of your mouth.
Last night was different though. How do I tell you?
Ok... if someone called me last night just generally, and casually asked me: "Soooo, what you doing?" I'd have replied, "I'm smoking."
Lets hear it for Navy Cut!

I like the way you wrote it! I feel that way about a lot of things that remind me of uni! Brands of bubblegum, rickshaw rides (only when its 7 people, one rickshaw), kings & queens pizza and the list goes on!

aye to NAVY CUT. i found it here in Dubai and am very happy, i never had to change brands, i came with my stock and found that its freely available here.

lately i discovered that a CHARMS pack costs only 1 AED, and its not a bad cigarette.

is there anything as a bad cigarette.

CHARMS - the original indian one, is a laryngitis for sure, the new and improved king sisze dubai version is ok, not as potent as its original predecessor.
