Description
Djarum Forte – Charcoal Filter Cigarettes
Djarum Forte is a premium tobacco-wrapped cigarette with charcoal filters, delivering a bold smoking experience. Each cigarette contains 1.2mg of nicotine and 15mg of tar. Branded with the slogan “MIGHTY TINY,” Forte embodies strength in a compact form, featuring a slim yet powerful stem for an intense flavor profile.
Compact but Powerful
Forte is not classified as a superslim cigarette but has a smaller diameter and shorter stem length compared to regular cigarettes. This design enhances its rich and robust tobacco taste, setting it apart from competitors in the standard cigarette category.
International Market Presence
Initially launched in Japan in June 2016, Forte entered the Mini SPM segment, dominated by Japan Tobacco’s Hope. Categorized as a “little mini cigar” in Japan due to its Reconstituted Tobacco Sheet (Recon Tobacco Paper) wrapper, Forte offers a distinctive smoking experience. This unique wrapper, made from processed tobacco residue, contributes to its cigar-like aroma and taste.
High Market Acceptance & Expansion With strong sales and positive reception in Japan, Djarum expanded Forte to international markets in December 2017. Its affordability and bold flavor made it an instant success.
Rich Tobacco Flavor Profile
At just 70mm in length (compared to standard 84mm cigarettes), Forte delivers an intense smoking experience:
- Aroma & Taste: Strong tobacco aroma with a slightly bland initial taste, which develops into a rich, bold tobacco flavor when lit.
- Flavor Complexity: A balanced blend of Virginia, Burley, and Oriental tobaccos creates a subtle sweetness, nutty undertones, and a natural spiciness for a full-bodied smoking experience.
- Cigar-Like Sensation: The tobacco wrapper enhances the depth of flavor, making it stand out against competitors.
Djarum Forte offers a premium, intense, and uniquely compact smoking experience. With its strong yet smooth character, affordable price, and high market acceptance, it remains a formidable choice for smokers seeking bold flavor in a small package.

I order these often – they taste good and look like a small cigar

decent cigarette but when they say small they mean small

These are a potent little smoke. Little as in superslim width and regular (not king size) length. Potent as in stronger than a Marlboro red kingsize. I’ll let that sink in… these are a strong smoke!
Little harsh towards the last couple drags, but overall a very enjoyable smoke. Would order again, and as always CiggiesWorld is amazing!

Personally, I LOVE these. The flavour is amazing IMO, and they are the perfect size for me (for most occasions). Plus, the price is right 🙂
They are VERY small and VERY strong.
I enjoy Malboro, and the old school Camel cigarettes. While these have a different flavour, I enjoy these Fortes just as much. I also think these may be stronger per puff, than Marlboro and Camels.
Also, +1 for Ciggiesworld for sending precicely what I order (which last time, was like 9 random brands I had never tried before). I’m making my 2nd large purchase today 🙂 and shipping has always been quite fast.

Really pack a punch for such a tiny cigarette. Might be the first ‘normal’ cigarette that I can feel a buzz from.

Wasn’t what I expected, and I wouldn’t recommend it but the people in the review section liked it for some reason.

It’s like Marlboro had a bastard, dwarven child with a cigar! The French translation of “Forte” os “Strong”!
