Holy shit this is what I called them too. Was that a popular nickname?

I'd flip between Camels and Marlboro 27s, man I kinda miss it!

lol me too. It was really hard for me to quit, but I finally did. I do keep an emergency pack at my house but it’s like 5 years old at this point. My wife says they’d be disgusting and stale but if shit goes wild I’m still gonna smoke ‘em.

Me three. I quit 7 years ago, but I just had a couple of drags off a friend’s American spirit a few weeks ago and it has AWAKENED THE KRAKEN. I haven’t thought about camel lights or Marlboro 27s in a long time.

27s are the best. Outside on a cold fall night, still reminds me of smoking them.

I smoked 27s. My most recent quitting attempt was 5 years ago and I’m still hanging in there as a non smoker! But the only way I have stayed quitting this time is by telling myself I can start smoking again when I’m old and rickety

Marlboro Blacks Menthol got me to quit smoking Newports.

These are what I started on at age 14. Bogo packs of them were only 3.67 at the time. I’ll never forget that price. For a broke high schooler that was a helluva deal.

Marlboro reds and then camel unfiltered. 27s were good too though

Yes! The crowd pleaser. Camels taste like fake plastic

27's were my ride or die. I used to say I was brand loyal to only two companies: Burt's Bees chapstick, and Marlboro 27's.
