The occasional clove cigarette is just TOO GOOD

[Guitar Woman]

My new cigarette holder is a butthead to use

It basically has a little pinhole tube that goes right up to the filter, which means I have to draw harder than I usually do to get a decent mouthful, and it leaves this really nasty-looking spot on the butt that's black with concentrated tar. The problem could be with what I'm smoking, since American Spirits have notoriously thick, shite filters, but I refuse to switch brands because shit is delicious. Cutting a bit of the filter off seems to work but I don't want to have to carry scissors around with me everywhere, or offer people without holders stubby cigarettes.

If the clove smuggling doesn't pan out, by the way, I'd recommend developing a taste for Spirit Periques, the ones that come in a black box. It's kind of a spicy tobacco that they press-age in whiskey barrels. They're not as sweet as cloves, but are infinitely more satisfying.
