Virginia Slims


I hear that smokers of Virginia Slims include old ladies, bank tellers, "women who wear sneakers with their business suits", mid-40's females, people with drinking problems, women who wear too much make up and 1980s shoulder pads, and divorcees who call them "Vagina Slims". Also Realtors.

... So, not a cool cigarette at all.

The brand was introduced to young women in 1968 rocking the slogan "You've come a long way, baby". Since then, they have continued to use Women's Lib as a selling point.

Virginia Slims are far narrower than most other cigarettes and their taste is a mystery to me as the reviews are vague and mostly filled with childhood memories of stealing them from grannies purse. 

Except I did find this:



These mysteriously un-classy cigarettes are made by Philip Morris. They come in seven varieties, but I'm not getting into it since they're cheap and creepy.
