Trudeau, you are probably the ONLY comic author who could have gotten away with that gag. You did some great edgy stuff in the 70s and 80s, too. Hope you continue again. Dan
When the Chapelle Show was on Comedy Central, in the long, long ago, he used an occasional game show sketch he called “So You Think You Know Black People”. One of the questions was “why do black people smoke menthol cigarettes?” The contestant, a white guy, answered “I don’t know”, whereupon Dave Chapelle (as host) exclaimed “That is correct! No one knows.”
Actually there have been flavored strains for at least 20 years. First here was Bubblegum, then Blueberry, now there is lemon, orange, grape, piney, minty, diesel fuel smell. it really goes on and they will create more as time goes on.

Don’t let Newport find out or they’ll move in on your operation.

Couldn’t stand menthol in tobacco, not about to ruin good medicine.

Yeah, what is it about black people and menthol? Never could figure out the connection.

Makes you wonder when Zonker is the more businesslike of the two…

I suspect not many will comment today. Kind of a niche market of a niche market subject going.

a science fiction story from the 50’s had a bit about stargazer’s fifteen flavor cigarettes.

So the knowledge of CooLeaf papers has been lost by this time, eh? So sad.

Minty Fresh as in Christopher Moore?

But the black gay stoner market is even smaller than the gay stoner market — it’s a subset of a subset!

Yet another stereotype I didn’t know. Must be nice to live around people who know all the proper prejudices.
