Do they still sell them?

WTF?

Yes, but they are very difficult to keep lit. They don’t have a good draw either.

I don’t know, but that would be highly politically incorrect, so I suspect no.

lol

🤦‍♂️

I'm old

Normal question for a man closing in on 80 to pose in an outdoor forum.

LOLOLOL!!!!

The gum ones or the candy ones?

Candy.

How 'bout bubble gum cigars? Haven't seen those in awhile.

Cabin fever has struck Bumfuk Iowa

What's worse for you? Cigarettes or Sugar? WGAF?

I seen them someplace at a novelty shop. I just can't remember where.

I remember them as a kid. Pretty neat.

I haven’t seen any in years and years!
But I’m 58, and many times I carried a pack in my pocket or rolled up in a T-shirt sleeve!😀
If your hero smoked, you ate them things, and Tho Old Man smoked a pack a day until he went in a hospice for a week.😒
I smoke little cigars now, but a pack will last me three or four days unless you start feeding me beer!😀

Heck I forgot about them things. I bought a box of cigars for my friends when Ben was born, but my friends who didn’t smoke got a bubblegum cigar instead!😀

They tasted like medicine rolled in flour.

Probably get a kid kicked out of school now days.

yes they still sell them, Candy Kitchen in Wilton Iowa

Wabigoon, don't be giving these to your grandson. He might think that you are cool with him smoking.

Wow.... Can't believe those things are still around. I recall them from my childhood in the 1950's. Nowadays the anti-tobacco lobby would not look kindly on the very idea of those things. But don't take my word for it; just ask Joe Camel, who got forced into early retirement because they said he had too much influence on children.

You may be able to get bubblegum cigars in a hospital gift shop. Dads with newborns can buy to hand out instead of real cigars.

I remember those things.

I was in Switzerland last October and you can still get candy cigarettes' in many stores. But then again a lot of restaurants had ash trays on the table inside and out.

Still get them here, a local, nostalgic candy store has them. I’ve also seen them for sale somewhere else in the last couple years.
Never cared for them back in the day

They’re gayer n’ AIDS , Richard

Hard to believe, but they are still around. Pretty amazing really.

I remember liking those when I was like three or four years old, back in the early 1960s. One day, I found a real cigarette, and consumed its contents. I remember how bad it tasted.

The one's I remember were pure chocolate wrapped in what appeared to be cigarette paper, but was likely some other kind of paper that looked the same.

I remember the gum ones, too, though.

Yeah, I remember those, too.

have no idea if they still sell them. but I can sure remember them as a kid. if memory serves me correctly they tasted pretty much like chalk with a slight bit of peppermint..
nasty.
I remember the bubble gum cigars also.

what about them little bottles made of wax with like a liquid flavor in them.

I can remember as a little kid sticking the whole thing in my mouth and showing it and it was God awful.. almost as bad as Tab soda pop.

Growing up in the 1970s we had three different types.. the small, skinny, white chalky kind…

there was another that thicker, same thickness a cigarettes…. With gum (or candy?) inside a white wrapper that was open on each end…there was a little little powder sugar or something similar inside the wrapper…you could blow the powdered sugar out the wrapper to make it look like smoke was coming out of your candy cigarette (this was a one time shot of “smoke”)….

Then we had the kind that you can still find in the hospital gift shops that were just cigar shaped gum.

I think I saw some of the first two at a specialty candy shop a few years ago…

The 1970s were a pretty good time to be a kid!
