A Montclair Moment!

The man in the photo is how I imagine most Dataloungers.

They seemed to have a target audience.

Smelling cookies through the cigarette smoke?

I once sat on a pinecone, which is apparently the same thing.

It looks like they were trying to appeal to Roger Collins from "Dark Shadows."

"Oh, CaRRRRRolyn, have you seen your mother?"

Maybe the cigs smelled like cookies?

I’m never this happy when I light one up.

I’m going out for a Marlboro moment right now.

I’ don’t dress that faancy.

I’m quitting tomorrow.

Nasal surprise

1990? 1991? 1992????

What the actual fuck????

On MST3k when someone was being attacked by a monster and screamed in terror they would say "It's a Montclair moment!"

I don't remember Montclair cigarettes at all. Maybe they were more of a regional brand.

Those guys are holding the cigarette like ladies do.

I think you could use them to dial a telephone.

R14 If that was true, they should have invented phones with a built in lighter on the them. Imagine dialing up your friend, then lighting one up and just have them pick up the phone. All seems to flow nicely.

At 54:30 Sandra Bernhard has several Montclair Moments!

OP- That datalounger in your photo is ecstatic because the TOP of his dreams just gave him a wink and a nod.

Dataloungers prefer Capri 120s, in Mother's old silver cigarette case and Waterford crystal ashtray.

It's Don Cheadle and Goliath Joan Collins!

In high school we called those "bitch sticks."

Our Klasssy queens sucked on Gitanes

I don't remember those. But we started stealing our moms cigarettes when we were around 8-9 years old. Silva Thins, Kent, Merits. Everything was 100s or 120s. All the boys from the pool would sneak off and smoke cigs in big drain pipes in the growing burbs where we lived. I bet I looked glamorous with my Eve cigarette. Who's gay? Me!

I loved clove cigarettes back in the day.

I didn't think they meant anything, I just loved the taste.

Not sure how lame that makes me.

Coincidentally that's what many Dataloungers were also called in high school.

After all these years, R1 makes me realize where I got my mental image of DataLoungers. I think I saved one of the ads at OP—not because I aspired to become him, though (and I'm still not a smoker, not an ascot-wearer, not a brass-button-fancier).

The acrid taste of New Jersey!
