Jacob I’m so glad you were raised right and are respectful to the people in japan I’ve seen so many dickheads thinking they’re the main character and just obnoxious everywhere they go! 😊 btw if you need to talk to them you can always use google translate if needed. Been loving these japan videos
I've always been taught to be nice whenever possible, but working customer service jobs drove it home. Hate having rude customers, so I try to be as courteous and understanding as possible. Gotta make people's days better, not worse ykwis 💪
well he's minding his own business like you should anywhere yeah
Pftttt as an American I can imagine so many Americans being dicks in Japan. I just really hope Japanese people understand that some of us have to deal with trashy people in America everyday 😂 but on the same note Japan is a little too restrictive for me
I first read “i buy cigarettes at 9/11” 💀
☠️☠️
Next travel vlog should be in ny with him smoking at the top of the new World Trade Center just for this

Ok.
Jacobs kindness gives me so much happiness ykwis
love to see the daily videos of you just enjoying life in japan!
happy you're enjoying the videos man :) thanks for the kind words!
Dawg, I haven't even begun the video, but idk, you just reminded me of my friends and that just gave me hope for some reason
Miss these... I genuinely enjoyed binging them over the summer.
I hope you save up and get to visit the country again - this time more higher-end tobacco stores; smoking cafes and exclusive rolling tobacco; the accent on a more upper class tenet of the smoking culture in Japan.
Maybe even more tobacco vending machines and convenience stores.
Happy to hear you enjoyed the Japan series man !
Definitely planning on visiting again sometime in the next couple years, and when I do, definitely want to make videos visiting real tobacconists, fancy smoking cafes, and more. I'm already collecting a list of places to visit next time ngl 😂
Look into the Jazz Kissaten in Tokyo@@jacobfuckingjones
I guess you already found out by now why the package was so slim. There are only 14 pieces in it.
Did you know that American Spirit sold in Japan are actually now owned and produced by Japanese Tabacco Inc since 2017 ? I read many reviews that the flavor changed quite a bit from the original ones produced in the US.
I am keen to know the difference of Japanese ones and American ones.
Indeed, wild that they've only got 14 cigarettes inside but are sold for the same amount as a normal pack. And I did indeed know that! It's very interesting. Looking forward to posting a review of the Turquoises and letting y'all know my thoughts on the difference between Japan American Spirits and American American Spirits!
That's terrible! My son is in Japan for the next 9 days and I was going to get him to get my the AS black. I live in Australia and am only allowed by agreement with my wife to get a pack of cigarettes when someone we know buys them for me overseas. I was really looking forward to trying perique tobacco :( Last time I got a pack of smokes was in 2017 when my son went to Spain and I asked for Lucky Strike non filter and unfortunately he brought me what they sold there which was filtered and made in the EU with little flavour. Cigarettes in Australia are all made with Indonesian tobacco pretty much, none grown here and no American smokes sold. Used to be great like the USA with tobacco, now a tin of pipe tobacco is around $150! Is there any American brand you might recommend to get from Japan?
Absolutely loving these videos, Jacob
Hopefully we'll see you travelling to different countries and reviewing local ciggies!
glad you're enjoying the travel videos man !! and that is exactly the plan, got lots of places i wanna visit so of course gotta film while i'm there 💪
The way cigarettes are marked by numbers in Japan makes it so easy to let them know which ones you want. Should be that way in the US too in my opinion! I was shocked when you handed him the money directly, where was the money tray? It be out for a smoke I guess ykwis 😂
honestly! the numbers make it so convenient, and nearly every convenientstore has numbers like this one did, albeit, not big signs at the front showing off the selection. and it took me a while to get used to money trays so it might've been there and i missed it ngl 😭😭 whoops 😂
@@jacobfuckingjones I didn't see one!
Could just be different in that area of Japan
Never seen a men who bought ciggarets that fast XD thanks again for this Video
Haha you should see me at the only gas station that doesn't card near me 😅 I timed it once, 10 seconds to walk in, get a pack, and leave!
Cigarettes smokers are fast buyers then you have cigar smokers that are slow.
😂😂 i didn't want to hold up a line if one formed behind me but i do take my time sometimes
Thank you for sharing your trip to Japan. It's an amazing country
"Let's get a mask on. Certainly no complaints on my behalf" this dude is hilarious
I had some of the best sushi from a 7-11 in Tokyo. Hope to go back soon and try out their ciggies! Awesome vid as usual man
I’m in Japan right now looking to buy some cigarettes or an evape, aiming for an evape. I’ve noticed 7/11 sometimes have clerks who can speak somewhat English so it’s been very helpful. Even in other businesses I’ve noticed everyone is so kind and thankful. This place is amazing
Golden Bat has been discontinued at end of 2019.
It was sold from Meiji period over a 100 years.
Kind of sad thing
yup 😔😔 found that out after a couple weeks in japan to great disappointment. would have loved to grab a pack and try them
Bro as a Persona 5 and Yakuza fan this video is fire
Love to see the manners and kindness
Great video, you seem like such a cool dude. Keep up with the ciggies content!
aye appreciate the kind words man :) i gotchu !!
Twenty years ago I got my hands on a some packs of Ganesh 501 Bidi's at a music festival. Despite beeing very cheap tobacco, these were the best ciagrettes I've ever had. I've never been able to get my hands on any again.
Indian moment
blud so respectful
Japanese American Spirits actually have charcoal filters in them, if you didn't know. At least for the Turquoise and Black NAS japanese packs I've gotten. Turquoise also come in packs of 14, dunno why.
What are charcoal filters like? any notable differance? thinking about buying some for roll ups.
@@nervousnorvus1944 ive only tried a handful of cigs with charcoal filters, always makes the smokes smoother, and takes some harshness and bitterness out. the amount of charcoal determines how much, if that makes any sense.
I think they made pack of 14 for price competitiveness making them look a bit cheaper, although JT officially explains that customers can enjoy freshly opened pieces more in this way.
@@ymatsuda6406 hm doesnt make sense to me the perique i got were 600yen a pack, which is normal afaik. also, i no longer see japanese NAS Perique on sale from where i used to get them from, wonder if they got discontinued.
american spirits in america are too harsh until you get used to them.
even with the normal filter they feel like unfiltered.
Certainly no complains in my behalf about that vid lol
glad to hear man 💪
I know this is a year ago but I want to point out that when you bought your Cigs for 420yen(lets say 4$) you gave him 910yen(lets say 9$), I think as you were walking away he was getting the change ready for you I don't think he meant to scam a foreigner or anything like that as ive lived in japan for the last 5 years and the people in Japan are insanely kind.
then again watching it back.. he pointed at it like it was a 10yen like the one next to it then told you thank you.. You mightve got scammed sir.
I don’t smoke cigarettes and never will but I enjoy watching your videos
I think it’d be pretty cool for you to go to China. They have a big smoking culture there.
Uiuiui....
going to china is definitely on my bucketlist! i'm gonna have to wait a couple years tho for all this stuff to die down 😂😂
@@jacobfuckingjones Yeah that’s true, definitely not the best time to visit 😳
I can't lie I was a little disappointed that you didn't crack them open. Know what I'm saying know what I'm saying. Furthermore I would just like to point out to those that did not notice that they were 420 at 7-Eleven what a co-inky-dink
I wish i was like you when i was younger, part of me says i kinda was but just couldn't find the right way to go about it.
Love your Japan videos dude ykwis
ayee happy you're enjoying them man !!
Maybe next tried to buy cigarettes in vending machine dude,i heard that japan have a vending machine for cigs yo
tyvm tyvm tyvm
more travel vlogs! I love this shit!
You should try out LD standard bold, they’re a more heavier cig with a taste I can’t really describe. If anyone could give the perfect description it’d be you lol ❤️
get a pack of ninja reds
Japan is really putting the US hot and ready gas station food to shame. I'm lucky if 1/10 gas stations I go to even offer hot food.
Japan's gas station / convi store food is godtier while American gas station food gives you food poisoning 😂
That's my personal way to describe it at least
@@jacobfuckingjones Thats pretty spot on. I have a decent gas station chain around me on the east coast called Sheetz that has pretty decent food, but its gone down hill as they've expanded over the years. I'm just west enought that we don't have Wawa around here, but I've heard good things.
Have you been to Japen before? Do you go on holiday to the same place or different places?
I think i saw someone skate the stairset behind you in that first shot on an Instagram clip
for future reference "pack" in japanese is "paku" so that might help a bit.
different convenient store next video? show selection of ciggs :D
We used to have American Spirit in Canada as well and I loved them! Sadly for whatever reason they are not imported anymore☹
2.69 usd for a pack of american spirits brings a tear to my eye
the cigarette prices in Japan are simply so beautiful
@@jacobfuckingjones its about $14.99 in hawaii for that same pack 😭
I thought it was a 9/11 cigarette ☠️
😂😂
1:59 those Larks are the one to review! Solid smokes.
sadly i missed out on trying them but i really should have 😭😭
gonna have to pick them up next time for sure though
@@jacobfuckingjones Haruomi Hosono smokes 'em, and the dude's been smoking for over 50 years; they must be worth trying.
Jacob,Do you need to show ID when buying cigarettes in Japan?
I only got ID'd once during the month I visited, and that was at the tobacco museum funded by Japan Tobacco, so it makes sense.
After having spoken to someone I know who was born and raised in Japan, most places do not generally, if ever, card foreigners, and rarely card locals unless they look like they're in middle school
Idk if they still sell them but pls try to get a pack of black devil cigarettes. They're good.
Can you please let us know the outcome of the cigarette quantity
Try the ones in India 🇮🇳
hi i smoke for u
my cig king 👑
Hey Man great video. Quick question though do they ask for identification when you purchase it?
Happy to hear you enjoyed man!
In Japan, I only got carded once, but that was at a tobacco museum, and I was buying $60 worth of goodies, so I'm not surprised. Simply got out my passport, pointed at my date of birth, and was all good to go.
When I mentioned that that happened to a friend from Japan, he was surprised, and said that almost nobody ever gets carded, especially foreigners, and that was my experience everywhere else I went. Never got carded at convenience stores or any other tobacconists I went to, although it is possible of course, as it happened to me, albeit, only once.
American spirit was the only brand that was shown
indeed i shoulda shown the selection a lil bit more ngl
Fulcrum of nicotine
Yourwelcome Jacob 😂
american spirit skys are my go to theyre so good
i do gotta try those eventually ngl !
@@jacobfuckingjones they’re insanely good
Do they sell tabaco to roll or just cigarettes?
Where in japan is this?
, it looks a safe place and not too crowded.
i believe i recorded this near in or near Harajuku, Tokyo ! Beautiful area, but quite expensive.
This is awesome
why indian flag at time 04:30?
Come to Korea too!!!!
Why didnt you open the.
That’s cool considering 7/11 doesn’t even exist here in my state anymore.
What are the mask rules these days for Japan?
jacoblovingjones
Were you not speaking English from 2:48 to 2:49
love japan
Do they have the 21 law
You shouldn't support 7/11 with your value dollar, you should support Japanese businesses. No complaints on my behalf, just sayin'.
The Japan 7 11s are 100% Japanese owned and apart from the branding, completely different inside. They are unreal - One of my favourite parts of Japan - the best food 😍
Also there aren’t many other realtors for cigarettes in urban areas apart from the other convenience stores like lawsons and familymart
You have just taken 20 minutes off of your life. No bueno
Are you on holiday?
Whuy are you in Japan?
nice video😂
appreciate it man 💪💪 glad to hear
do they still require masks in 2023 over there?!
Probably look it up
👍
I’m first like first comment first viewer 😂
W
still wearing masks there? good grief lol
w
yoo 1st ykwis
Masks in 2023?
It's everywhere there's tv I guess...
So cheap as well?
I have new video idea for you. Take your favorite 2 or 3 different cigarette brands, mix tobacco and make one cigarette with that so you can get triple lung cancers at once
