My mom used to smoke cloves when I was a little kid on occasion, and I remember that cigarettes smelled disgusting but damn those cloves smelled delicious.
I never wound up trying one as an adult (I've tried regular/mentholated cigarettes, both disgusting but I'm glad I know for sure). Cloves are banned now?
- SOLAR_FIELDS 5y agoThey are still sold, but they are called “Filtered Clove Cigars” now and are not as good - among several things: they are harder to draw now, they lost a lot of the characteristic “firecracker” pop (a popping noise that happens as the cloves burn that’s very similar to wood settling in a campfire) and are harsher to smoke. I suspect if one wanted to find them in their original, better form the easiest thing to do would be to import them from Indonesia somehow - the kretek, which is the Indonesian name for the clove cigarette, originated from there and it’s an extremely popular cigarette in Indonesia.
