Camel No.9 Menthe 5

As a way to slowly cut back, I have been smoking Salem Ultra Lights after smoking Kools and Salems for years followed by Salem Lights.  I was looking for something light, but possibly with more flavor.  I had tried USA Gold Menthol Lights and Sonoma Menthol Lights (which both tasted about the same - made by the same company) and found them to be okay, but a bit stronger than I wanted.  Camels and Marlboros have always been good, so I decided to see what they had in a light menthol.  After researching on the internet, I decided to purchase a pack of the Camel No. 9 Menthe, noting that cigarette advertising and marketing towards women normally means a smooth, light cigarette that is not harsh or bitting. What caught my eye  was to see them offered in the King Size 85MM box.  I was pleasantly surprised at the taste and mildness of this cigarette.  No harshness or aftertaste, just a smooth enjoyable smoke.  Keep in mind, if you do not like light cigarettes or the taste of menthol (albeit light menthol or mint) and you are used to a heavier tobacco taste, then this is definitely not the cigarette for you.  However, if you are looking for something light and pleasant and don't mind the red camel on the cigarette and the red foil interior packaging of the cigarettes (the box actually looks a lot like the Salem Dark boxes) then you might want give these a try...regardless of which gender they are being marketed.
