I can see how hardcore menthol smokers would not like it. But for me who normally smokes higher end cigarettes these were a nice change up. Mint flavor with a hint of vanilla and something else.
It had overtones of what I would describe as a chocolate covered cherry, that ended in a smooth toffee note, the mint didn't stand out strong so a person who doesn't like the heavy menthol feel might enjoy these a lot.
These are not for the blue collar chain smoker. These smokes have character and are for the most part a novelty.
I would buy these again.
