cigarette brands i think disco elysium characters would smoke
(as a smoker and former gas station clerk) (these are europe centric cause thats what im most familiar with)
lets get harry out of the way first, hes a bit complicated. mostly I think he'd bum cigs off of anyone, and esp after the memory loss he'd probably try every single brand to remember what he likes
my personal take are lucky strike click, specifically with the strawberry/mint flavor.
for kim i would dare to say the same, I think he'd enjoy the lemon/cucumber flavored cigarettes (since in game his cigs seem to be flavored too)
and from here ill go by brand:
Marlboro red, this is the classic cigarette and spans all demographics. theyre also a bit pricier, so you'll see businessmen, young adults and workers alike go for this if they're new to smoking/smoke occasionally. it also gives off that "tough guy" vibe since theyre the strongest malboro variant (iirc) so titus and torson both fit into this.
malboro gold is a very interesting case, its lighter than the reds, also pricey but has a very premium/rich vibe. its also the choice brand for people who want to prove that theyre cool, and that theyre successful in life. its like the equivalent of wearing a fake gucci bag. measurehead would not smoke but if he did, I think this would be his "supreme cigarette". the lorry driver just wants to pretend that hes cool and well off.
camel yellow is known as the truck driver cigarettes, theyre strong and a bit cheaper, unlike malboro they also come in large packs that makes them easier to bring on the road. they have a unique strong taste and people either hate em or love em, i like them but I admit they do taste like dirt more than other brands
i already hit the image limit so im gonna make a reblog for the rest 🙂↕️
pall mall is the real working class cigarette. theyre very cheap, sold in large packs and strong enough to get you through that 12 hour shift at your shitty job. had a coworker at a pet store who'd go through 30-40 cigs a day, which is both terrifying and impressive. he also never got any work done cause everyone was always out smoking. garte would buy them in large packs cause its cheaper and smoke during breaks, jean would most likely buy the large boxes of tobacco and use those little stuffer machines to prep enough each day like my coworker did. if you chain smoke that hard, stuffing is the cheapest and quickest way to do that
miss oranje and the smoker on the balcony get the vouge slims. these are sometimes called "stripper cigarettes" cause of their association with women in sex work smoking them. theyre longer and slimmer than normal cigs, making your hands look more delicate when you hold them (imo) and they also feel like youre just smoking air/have one of the lower nicotine contents. great for longer sessions of smoking without too much nicotine since the slimmer/longer shape makes them burn longer. you can also gesture sexily with them more than normal cigs. this also makes them great for smoking more often if youre on the road waiting to attract customers. these are not very common nowadays, probably cause of the connotation of them being "girly", but theyre quite interesting!
now gottlieb and jules would be cigar smokers all the way, esp jules since a cigar can take 30 mins - 1 hour to smoke which makes it great for a job where youre sitting down all the time. but for a quick smoke id give them gauloises blue. this is a certified old man brand, I've literally never seen anyone under 60 smoke or buy these and the brand is not popular these days
another reblog coming asap, I have more to say lol
bit of a strange pull, but if trant smoked id give him Chesterfield original SPECIFICALLY the ones made and sold in Switzerland. the ones I've tried in germany taste like actual scratchy dirt, but the Swiss one have a different formula or smth cause they taste smooth and herbal. he'd have these specifically imported and would swear that theyre the only good brand haha
Pueblo is the communist cigarette. this is the cheapest pack of tobacco you'll find for rolling your own cigarettes. its popular with young alternative people and stoners in europe and its the most common one to mix with weed as well.
american spirit is basically the same, except it tastes better (imo, theyre my personal choice of cigarette) and costs a few cents more
now mañana would definetly bum most of his cigarettes from others, but if he had a favorite I think it would be Parisienne. these are basically exclusive to switzerland where they originate, the blondes (less strong) are the most popular version of them and theyre the art student cigarette. where american spirit is the broke art student getting by on ramen noodles all month, parisienne is fancier more well off version of that, for someone who cares about social activism, but hasn't really faced discrimination themselves so they lack that hands on thinking. american spirit or parisienne tho, in the end both end up unemployed with an arts degree. parisienne just has a safety net to fall back to and the others dont.
chester gets an oversized vape with bubblegum Dubai chocolate blue raspberry ice flavor. he blows the smoke in the faces of children. if were going cigarette only tho, malboro gold probably
okay thats it thanks for listening 🚬🤏💖
obv i dont condone smoking, as a smoker myself please dont get into it. its really not as cool as people say, you get addicted immediately and the positive effects are literally none 💀
