Well, let me start off with the packaging. I don’t know about other foreign cigarettes, but the packaging on these was very informative. On one side, you have the amount of nicotine and tar listed and on the other side you have a mascot telling you to toss cigarette butts into the trash when you’re done with them instead of littering. The back lists the type of tobacco, where it originated, how it was cured, and some sort of content (Brazilian Tobacco Leaf, sourced from Santa Catarina, cured by flue, and 16% content). Additionally, there’s a lot of Korean on there which I can’t read.

So the cigarettes themselves definitely smell like coffee. Specifically, they smell like espresso with vanilla added. If you were hoping for a strong coffee taste, you’ll be disappointed. It’s a very weak taste and more of an aftertaste than anything. The nicotine and tar itself is very weak compared to U.S. cigarettes, but I wouldn’t consider that an issue. These are definitely light cigarettes though, and anyone who’s used to U.S. cigarettes will most probably not get a buzz.

Overall they’re average, and if not for the subtle coffee flavor, they would get two stars from me. Since I know Ciggiesworld is legitimate now, I’ll definitely be ordering from them more often and experimenting with different cigarettes.
