anybody else engaging in this bizarre behavior I can’t let go of?

it takes me a month to go through a pack these days, even giving them away, because I’m one of those lucky freaks who can just smoke one here and there and not be interested in one day to day

but I’m still flipping the front middle one over every time I open a new pack

maybe (probably!) you don’t do lucky cigs – what’re you doing that’s a ridiculous holdover from forever ago?

The tradition goes back to I think soldiers in WWII. That flipped cigarette you smoke last, reminding you that you lived long enough to finish another pack, or so I have heard.
