Im not a fan of unfiltered cigs and dont care for cigars very much anymore but been meaning to try an unfiltered kretek. So between the 76, coklat, merah, and this i ended up choosing this and wow what an experience. Im a chain smoker by trade so while i do enjoy many types of cigs, they hardly ever give me a buzz let alone leave me feeling satisfied. Smoking one of these was almost like an event. They are hand rolled so each cig is slightly different but they are all rolled pretty tightly. Once i got it going instantly got the numbness and by maybe 1/5 through it started smoking beautifully. The flavor seemed to change a bit too just little bit of spiciness definitely a bit of sweetness but different like a marshmellowy and brown sugar taste to it. Anyways even if you dont like unfiltered you may be pleasantly surprised like me so i definitely reccomend trying at least one unfiltered kretek. Its not harsh and has a great flavor i would compare to how lights or milds have almost a muted flavor compared to full flavor… Ive already ordered couple other unfiltered to try and will review after i do. As for the package design i believe it has to do with keeping the tradition of the original packaging so i can respect that. It does have the classic or antique look to it. But i couldnt smoke more than a couple a day so i plastic wrapped the pack myself hopefully that will help preserve them.

I have a bit of a soft spot for these. These really are strong as heck. Very upfront and assertive tobacco taste, but also a very assertive clove taste. The thing I really enjoy about these is how they have such a pure clove taste- in other kreteks, such as Djarum 76s, there’s fruity notes and notes of other spices. These on the other hand, are just like smelling a jar of dried cloves. Pretty minimalistic when it comes to flavor, but boy are they strong and tasty. These are hand rolled, so quality control seems to be a bit jumpy- some are much tighter rolled than others, and some have much less cloves than others.

first things first thank you so much for the service ciggies world without you we would be in a loss….and coming back to the stick it was some experience….huge body and aroma of the clove is over whelming and hard to tell you smoke with tobacco or just cloves, this thing can lit up to 20min which is due to the tight hand rolled tobacco, it help to have this with a sweet coffee to a any hot brew also will help you to reduce the numbness you get it after you smoke. i recommend this to all clove smokers 10/10.

…why package them like this? Sampoerna Dji Sam Soe 234 comes in a softpack. With no protective plastic on the outside; with no plastic, to seal the flavour, on the inside; just cigarettes in a piece of folded, glued paper.
Djarum Super is probably my favourite cigarette; so full, so rich and so tasty. From a pack of those, I saved the last one for almost two weeks, while trying other kreteks. When I finally smoked the Super, it was pretty much dead, and had lost lots of taste. No surprise then, if the Sampoerna Dji Sam Soe 234 lose a little, a lot or most of what they are supposed to have, in such an inadequate wrapping.
Unlit, this cigarette smells nicely of tobacco, and weakly, vaguely of something else, possibly dead cloves. Just to make sure, I asked a few folks (non-smokers, even – better sense of smell) what they think of the unlit smell. They all liked it, but said that it smells a lot less than the other cigs that I have asked them to sniff.
Smoking it, I found great, smooth, rich tobacco, in that Sampoerna blend that is very clearly different from Djarum and Gudang Garam. I also found a very mild flavouring in the smoke, pleasant certainly, but very weak. As for cloves/spices, there wasn´t much. Crackling, and some eugenol effect in the mouth, yes, but not a lot of taste.
These can last a long time, though that varies a lot: one was super-packed, barely smokable, and lasted 26 minutes. Another one “vanished” in 14 minutes.
They came in a pack of 16, by the way, not 12. Very nice.
Those 3 stars are on the weaker end, by the way, 3.1-ish.
In the end, I´m not quite sure what to say. Tobacco is really good, really non-Djarum/non-GG, and rich. Everything else is very weak. Are they meant to be like this, or have they leaked out all the good stuff through the idiotic paper pack? Maybe you have to get really lucky with a pack that was made a few days ago, and properly stored or something. Seriously, how hard can it be; you make your cigs, you seal them in plastic like Djarum, Wismilak, GG and Bentoel do; you then put them in a box/softpack and then seal that box in plastic, like Djarum, Wismilak, GG and Bentoel do.
I might just try these again, that was some good tobacco, and the 16-pack is nice too, but I would really like to see at least one protective, flavour-sealing layer in the pack.
Right now, I don´t feel that I have really tried the Sampoerna Dji Sam Soe 234 properly.
I have tried Ciggies World many times, though, and they always deliver. Buy from them with confidence.

I am extremely happy to say today I finally received my package. I don’t think I have ever been to happy to receive a package in my life. the selection you’re website has is the best and they are 100 times better than the cloves they sell in the US. I really want to thank you all and the wait for them was well worth it. I’ll wait as long as I need because the quality, packaging and customer service is amazing. I know it’s not your fault USPS messed up but at least I got them! I cannot wait to make my next purchase 🙂 thank you again!!!

I enjoyed these overall, nice smell, nice clove aroma and taste. The draw is really hard though, & there isn’t as much of a buzz as I would have liked for what they are. They take quite awhile to smoke. Good overall.
