Not bad but also not an Andies candies. Its peppermint taste is smooth but its not the first peppermint cig out there. In the late 70's to early 80's, Salem had a sister brand called BRIGHT and you actually smelled the pepperment on the smokers. Nat Sherman has a Touch of Mint which is similar. Its not likely that SMOOTH is going to be around for long. Most smokers are into the regular and lights flavors. Menthol is the alternative. Peppermint seems to be a fad of some sort every 2-3 decades. In the early 70s there was a brand called TWIST which had a lemon zest flavor. That brand sunk soon after its debut.
