the world's most elegant cigarette ... they may not taste as great as my other favorite black cigarette (Djarum Black), but they provide a good buzz and go well with a tuxedo or suit. they turn heads because of their black paper and gold filter, and burn for a long time. the box is beautiful, with a skyline of New York City in gold in front of a black background. if you're going to smoke, smoke these, because it's easy to pace yourself and not easy to get addicted if you just have one every once in awhile. perfect for any night on the town.
