I used to love the taste of cloves. I never actually inhaled completely since I liked my lungs at the time, but the actual taste was always good. Them getting banned ended my smoking habits. Never tried them from the net before, though, but like already mentioned, they aren't subject to any of our health safety rules since you're buying them off of the internet overseas. I'd say just avoid inhaling if you're cautious, but I'm sure actual smokers will frown on me for that. Smiley: laugh

I actually never inhale. Smiley: lol

I just like the taste. I'm a poser like that.

Same here

I would probably cough up my lung or some other extremely important body part. Actually it probably doesn't help that I have asthma either, but that doesn't deter me.

I might have to try those. Are they really sweet? I haven't tried any flavored cigars other than honey and vanilla. Except for sheesha, pretty much all flavors of sheesha are amazing.

They are sweet, but not overly sweet. They just have a soft cherry flavor is all. I dunno it has been a while since I started smoking them so my palette is kind of used to them now, so its hard for me to describe what a first timer might experience as I don't really remember. They are worth the cost though, and I think they can be purchased in singles now as well. (at least they could when I lived in alberta)

I saw them at a local tobacco shop last time I went. I'll have to pick some up next time I do and try them. Thanks

My wife informs me that you can still get cloves, just not as "cigarettes." They're marketed as "cigarillos" now. They're basically the same, but with cigar paper instead of cigarette paper. I guess it's a sort of end-run around the ban...

I just found a store that sells Djarum Blacks as Clove Cigars. I picked up a pack. They smell so good I can't wait to try them out. Though I thought Clove Cigars/Cigarettes as stated were banned in 2009 or so. There was a loophole where someone in America could get them if they received them as a "gift" from someone overseas. Though they are clearly selling these in a store.

I hope they are as good as they smell.

I am considering an online purchase of some clove cigarettes, since the US decided to outlaw the sale of them domestically ( Smiley: rolleyes

). Anyone here have any experience with them? Any suggestions on a site that's good?

Don't do it, they're gross. And smell awful..

So why exactly did they get banned? Are they worried the flavor is too attractive to the kiddies? Or is there something poisonous about them (more so than a tobacco cigarette? Ha)

Personally I think they smell odd, not good. A guy at work smokes them all the time. I can't imagine being attracted to the flavor/smell as a kid.

In 2009, the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act was introduced in the US Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama, giving the FDA significantly more regulatory power over tobacco; one of the provisions in the law includes a ban on the use of flavors in tobacco, other than menthol. The ban includes kreteks.

They were pretty much banned to prevent competition among American cigarette companies. Since clove cigarettes have a "clove" flavor to them they were banned. Probably because they thought they attracted a younger generation to smoking. But really it was pretty much just a way of American companies to be able to control cigarette sales in the US.

Now they have changed the name of the clove cigarettes to clove cigars. Cigars don't fall under the same federal law as cigarettes do, so it's kind of their loop hole to be able to market and sell them.
