alternative to djarum blacks?

malefic · 10-10-2009, 05:27 AM

so most people by now know of the new clove ban.
I'm on my last pack of blacks at the moment. 10 left to be exact.

So for those who smoke these, have you found any good alternatives? I've heard about the new cigars, but I'm not so sure about the idea yet...
And I'm not a huge fan of black and milds.
If you have any other suggestions or reviews of the new clove cigars, post it here.

If not, I might settle with the black and milds.

I still cannot believe they banned cloves, that would be like banning menthol.

Do it yourself clove cigarettes -- make your own:

edit: Also worth noting that djarum makes little mini-cigars that are basically the exact same thing as a clove, only wrapped in tobacco paper to circumvent the ban. tell your supplier to buy some.

Lol. That was pretty funny.

I don't know if they do cloves in the UK. What's so good about them? I don't mean to derail the thread, I'm just curious.

They're their own thing, like a menthol or a flavored cigarette. I don't care much for them and do not like their scent or taste at all. Reminds me of thanksgiving turkey dinner.

At this very moment, I'm smoking the new djarum black cigar.

It is not even close to the cigarette

-tastes different
-too smooth
-doesn't crackle

Its decent... but won't even compare to the good ol' clove cigarettes

I might try black & milds next to compare those

Someday, I will make my own clove cigarettes... someday

The ban is only on selling them, not owning them, right? So why not order online? First site that came up from a quick google search sells them for $26 a carton.

malefic · 10-13-2009, 04:26 PM

I know. But don't they get stale? See I smoke onne a day. (Its my altnernative to cigarettes, since I quit that) so 1 pack of 20 lasts me 2 and a half weeks about. So idk maybe

Store them in your fridge.

Okay

I still see djarum blacks at smoke shops. I'd be stoked on it too if I didn't think they tasted like diarrhea

ToKEN · 10-22-2009, 05:56 PM

From what I've seen/heard: its because flavors "target" kids and teens. It makes smoking sound more appealing. They banned light and mild cigarettes because it promotes itself as a "healthier" cigarette. Probably the biggest amount of bullshit I've seen in years.

You could google it too.

personally, I would choose death over a diaheaum cig.

It's fucked up is what it is, we're getting less and less rights.

Exactly.

Is this ban only in one state, or is it nationwide? I haven't heard anything about a clove ban.
