The original American blend, and still the one with the most Turkish leaf in it.
10 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet

Chunghwa Hard Pack
The Chinese state banquet cigarette, and still the reference point for the sweetened Yunnan style.
11 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet
—/10

Davidoff Classic
Restrained, dry, and the most European cigarette in the premium bracket.
9 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet

The definitive kretek: clove, sweet paper, and a crackle you can hear across a room.
20 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet
—/10

Dunhill·United Kingdom
Dunhill International Red
The luxury full-flavour benchmark, and still the smoothest 12mg on the shelf.
12 mg tar · 100 mmNot rated yet
—/10
Esse·South Korea
Esse Super Slims
The super-slim that made the format serious, and the only 3mg here that still tastes of something.
3 mg tar · 100 mmNot rated yet

Furongwang·China
Furongwang Blue
Hunan's business-class cigarette — clean, bright and noticeably less sweetened than its rivals.
10 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet

Gauloises·France
Gauloises Blondes Blue
The blonde reinvention of a dark-tobacco legend. Pleasant, and much less interesting than what it replaced.
10 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet
—/10
Gitanes·France
Gitanes Brunes
Dark air-cured tobacco, unfiltered, and the most distinctive smoke in this catalogue.
18 mg tar · 70 mmNot rated yet

A ten-stick short pack built for a quick, strong smoke and nothing else.
14 mg tar · 70 mmNot rated yet

Karelia·Greece
Karelia Slims
Greek Oriental leaf in a slim format — light in body, surprisingly aromatic.
5 mg tar · 100 mmNot rated yet
—/10
Lucky Strike·United States
Lucky Strike Original Red
Unfiltered toasted Virginia. Exactly as blunt as that sounds, and better made than it needs to be.
24 mg tar · 70 mmNot rated yet
—/10
Marlboro·United States
Marlboro Gold
The Red blend behind a ventilated filter. Cleaner, and correspondingly less interesting.
6 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet
—/10
Marlboro·United States
Marlboro Red
The most recognisable cigarette on earth, and a genuinely well-made American blend.
10 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet
—/10
Mevius·Japan
Mevius Option Purple
The capsule format done properly: crush it and you get grape, not detergent.
6 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet
—/10
Mevius·Japan
Mevius Original
The best-engineered cigarette in this catalogue, and the clearest argument for a charcoal filter.
10 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet
—/10
American Spirit·United States
Natural American Spirit Yellow
Additive-free, densely packed, and slower-burning than anything else here — for better and worse.
11 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet
—/10
Newport·United States
Newport Menthol
The heaviest menthol in the mainstream, and it does not pretend to be subtle.
13 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet
—/10
Parliament·United States
Parliament Aqua Blue
The recessed filter is a real engineering idea, not a gimmick — it keeps the smoke off the lip.
7 mg tar · 100 mmNot rated yet
—/10
Peace·Japan
Peace Deluxe
A 1946 unfiltered short in a Raymond Loewy tin, and by some distance the heaviest thing here.
28 mg tar · 70 mmNot rated yet
—/10
Raison·South Korea
Raison Black
Korea's answer to a full-flavour American blend, at about two-thirds the intensity.
8 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet

Rothmans·United Kingdom
Rothmans King Size Blue
The value end of the British houses — competent, plain, and honest about it.
9 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet

Sampoerna·Indonesia
Sampoerna A Mild
The kretek made approachable, and the reason the light-clove category exists at all.
14 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet
—/10
Seven Stars·Japan
Seven Stars
Japan's full-flavour standard — heavier than Mevius, and built with the same discipline.
14 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet
—/10
Silk Cut·United Kingdom
Silk Cut Purple
The brand that made low tar a design statement. The design has aged better than the smoke.
6 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet
—/10
Sobranie·Russia
Sobranie Black Russian
Black paper, gold tip, and a blend that cannot quite live up to the presentation.
12 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet

This Plus·South Korea
This Plus 1mg
One milligram of tar, and about one milligram of reason to smoke it.
1 mg tar · 84 mmNot rated yet

Yuxi·China
Yuxi Soft Pack
Grown and blended at the source in Yunnan, and the most floral cigarette in the Chinese mainstream.
