As I approached my dorm room I noticed the door open and
wondered what would my new roommate be like. I entered and announced
“Hi. My name is Dana.” “Nice to meet you, Dana. My name is Brigid.”
Her accent was definitely very British and caught me offguard for a
second. “I just brought my bags in this moment. I’ll unpack them later
but now I just want to relax after a long drive to get here” Brigid
said. I was looking for clues concerning her smoking/nonsmoking
behavior and didn’t have to wait long. She said, “Dana do you smoke? I
do and would really like a cigarette right now.” My heart leapt and I
replied “Yes, I do, or should I say I just started about 15 minutes
ago!” “Well then let’s have a smoke together” Brigid replied laughingly
“and you can tell me about why.” She went for her handbag and removed a
pack of cigarettes I had never seen in ads before. They had a
distinctive red on white pattern on the front and I asked her what brand
it was that she smoked. “Players Lights 100’s” she replied. “I used to
smoke Players in Canada before we moved to the states last year and I
was able to find these. I just adore them” she chimed. “What brand do
you smoke?” “Well, this is the first pack I’ve ever bought and they
turned out quite unexpectedly to be Virginia Slims 120’s.” The late
afternoon sunlight was streaming through our window as Brigid sat down
next to it and very confidently and expertly lit her cigarette with a
very elegant butane lighter. I asked for a light from it myself
explaining that I hadn’t even purchased a lighter yet. “Glad to, Dana”
as she extended her hand with the flame held steady. I leaned forward
with my VS 120 held steady in my lips by the fingers of my left hand and
drew the flame to my cigarette and the smoke into my mouth, inhaled
gently and exhaled after 2-3 seconds. The taste was incredible. Brigid
inquired “You say you just stared 15 minutes ago? You look very good
with that long slim cigarette.” Then she took a very long deep inhale
from her Players Light 100 and what I beheld most amazed me. After
licking her lips once or twice she began to exhale. The smoke was
highlighted in the sunbeams shining through the window and it seemed
that she couldn’t stop blowing smoke through her pursed lips or through
her nose. She was talking to me, but I was so fascinated by the volume
of smoke coming from inside her that I barely heard a single word. She
was enjoying her cigarette with a sheer delight that I could see in her
eyes. I said “This is surely a nice way for us to meet as roommates,
Brigid. Can you help me to learn how to smoke in the manner that you
do? I am embarking on a new life as a smoker as I start my college
education and I know that it is going to be right for me.” I took a
deeper inhale this time from my VS 120 and exhaled into the sunbeam. I
nearly gasped as the volume of smoke from inside myself seemed endless
and I smiled at Brigid with her returning a warm smile. “Yes. I already
like you,Dana, and hope that we will be good friends.”
We both finished our cigarettes as we got to know each other.
Brigid was very beautiful, about 5’6″ and around 120 pounds with long
straight brunette hair. Her accent was positively charming and she used
words that I was unfamiliar with, so I had to concentrate on her
conversation. Then she asked after 15 minutes if she could try one of
my VS 120’s while offering me one of her Players Lights 100’s. I gladly
accepted her offer as we lit up again. My first inhale from the Players
Light 100 was very delightful. They tasted wonderful, not strong as I
had first imagined and very smooth. Brigid exclaimed that she felt
somewhat of a sensual attraction smoking such a long slim cigarette. “I
like these Players Lights very much, also, Brigid. Maybe we can share
cigarettes throughout the coming year.” “I would like that very much”
she replied. I was beginning to feel a strong bond with Brigid that had
begun with the smoking of cigarettes. Over the course of the next three
months Brigid taught me how to French inhale, double pump inhale and
simultaneous exhale, and snap inhale. I loved everything about smoking
and the wonderful feelings I got from the nicotine. We tried to meet at
our room each evening as the sun went down to smoke in the sunbeams
coming through the window, as the sight of billows of smoke being
exhaled was very sensual indeed. I was now very confident of my own
smoking style and not self-conscious about it. I was doing it for the
sheer pleasure and I felt liberated and wonderful.
Brigid and I soon became lovers. We would give each other
smokey kisses, first with me exhaling into her with my VS 120 and then
she would reciprocate with her Players Lights 100’s. We would trade
cigarettes to give kisses back so each of us could taste the smoke from
each other’s cigarette. Needless to say, from that point in time I have
a very special fondness for “My cigarette”, VS 120’s, and also for
Brigid’s cigarette, Players Lights 100’s, although I’ve smoked other
brands ocassionally such as Marlboro Lights 100’s, VS 120 menthols, and
Benson & Hedges. I love my cigarettes!
