Used to love them ... but, around 15 years ago, the quality (freshness) when downhill, big time. I guess the tobacconist I purchased them at wasn't selling enough of them to have decent product turn-over. I used to buy them at Joe's in Evanston, IL. Joe is, long ago, retired (or dead), and the East Indians running the place, now, don't know how to keep fresh product on the shelves. I have since switched to American Spirit (unfiltered). Don't really know why the Players are so popular in Canada and not in the US. The ones I smoked (unfiltered) had "Virginia Tobacco" printed right on the pack. If they taste 'harsh' to you, they are probably stale ... it happens.

My famley has a combined total of over a hundred years of smoking this fine tobbaco product.
If ever I had the oppurtunity to have a last cigarette, It defenetaly, would be a, """" Players Filter King Size.

Players Navy Cut! The best 'butts' out there! I was not even aware that they made them with 'filters' It's been about 15 years since I 'stoked one up' so I ordered a pack and I CAN'T wait until they arrive! Seems like no one on Long Island sells them here,so,I'm sure I'll be buying a carton real soon! Nothing 'punky' about Navy Cuts, they are what they are,a smooth yet, strong, and rich endeveavor! Peace...John C

I really enjoyed this brand. I first heard of it in a James Bond novel. I would stock up and bring back as many as I could when I went to Canada or England. The Canadians had a different box. The English brand had the classic blue box. I could only find an image of the old 25 cigarette Canadian variety.  I also smoked the non filter variety.

my girlfriend came to my house in s.c. and she got me hooked on the players navy cut,from welland ont.canada,so when ever we go for a visit there or they come for a visit i always get my cigaretts,i love the players navy cut,other than that i smoke marlbor lights.i wish we had a place here in s.c.that sold the players or even in n.c.i would drive there to,so i could buy them,it is a little far for me to drive to canada to buy them everyweek.i love them and love smoking them and yes i give them 5stars,yours truly fee,fee

Sold here for like $8 a pack. 25 shorties. I thought they were pretty bad...second only to Smoker's Choice in crap.

they r trendy and cool and like half the people i see on the street r smoking these, the players light r alright, and their so dam smooth, but theres just soemthing about them that doesnt make me wanna smoke them that much. i cant stick to one brand, ive probably smoked liek a dozen brands still cant choose one that i wanna stick to

all smokes are good, but i thought there was something pointless about these. tough guys tried to smoke them, and also a lot of hipsters did.

Players are OK. A little harsh, but once you get past that they are decent smokes.

beautiful cigarettes, smooth yet strong, excellent !!!!!!

a very strong cigarette, will make you having headache when you deep inhale when the cigarette is burning to an almost end. nice rich taste, good thing it doesnt leave nasty chemical taste.

Smoked Player's Navycut Medium for 42 years. Best tasting cigarette on the market.

dear player's. My comment is that I love to smoke Dear Player's I have a problem!I bought a package of you 20 player's light and 8 of the 20 smokes came apart at the filter.For $10.00 a Package I would think that would be made a lot better.Unfortunately we bought them in a town that was not our own,therefore were unable to return them.We then had to go to the store and by papers to fix the ones that came apart.Thank you Terrye Chellew.

I am specifically comment on Players Filter. They are the strongest cigarette that Players makes, although I find them to have a really crappy taste (during smoking and after). Don't get me wrong I think players makes a good canadian cig, since I am a canadian they are my favourite canadian smoke, (Players Light) to be specific. My favourite american cigarette has to be camel lights. They are a nice flavourful cigarette that has a nice and not to harsh smell. The smoke is thick and smooth, and it doesn't leave the gritty, sore feeling in your throat as most other brands do.

Best cigarette on the market. A little bit harsh, so if you are wussy, consider yourself warned. I got hooked on these while traveling in Canada.
