i have been smoking these occasionally for about 7-8 years and i personally will NOT smoke anything else, forget it! i like to just taste the filter for a minute before lighting it up, then apply a match to hear that sweet,crisp crackling sound as i inhale the first puff. after about three or so, my head feels light and with the combined effects of alcohol, there is no other feeling like it. i too am not a smoker so i give credit to that for my excess 'buzz'. i personally hate cigarettes but since i have introduced these to all of my friends, thats all any of them smoke. i would not recommend smoking these as an every day smoker, i guarantee you they are twice as harmful as a regular cigarette, i tend to look at it like a glass of wine. like wine, it is something to be enjoyed on certain occasions, but not consumed on a regular basis. overall 10/10 for a 'cigarette', even though i consider it strictly a clove and would never call it a cigarette. i would recommend them to anyone, smokers or not.
