Our notes

Raison Black is marketed as the strong option in a market that mostly does not want one, and the result is a cigarette that reads as medium anywhere else. The blend is competent and slightly toasty with a dry finish.

It is a perfectly good cigarette that struggles to justify choosing it over Mevius at the same price.

What works
  • Dry, toasty finish
  • Consistent build
  • Handsome matte pack
What does not
  • Not actually strong despite the positioning
  • Little to distinguish it from cheaper rivals
