In a simple battle for the best cigarette, the two top contenders have to be Camel's Crush & Marlboro's Smooth. So which is better?
On Camel's side, they have a hybrid version of a cigarette. The first hybrid cigarette ever. So what makes Crush a contender? Simple, the fact that if you are tired of smoking a full flavor you just pop the little menthol capsule and make it menthol. You kinda have two cigarettes in one. You have a full flavored cigarette with the power to pop it into a menthol.
Sadly for Crush, you can't reverse the menthol flavor. So if you accidentally crush the capsule, that's it. You're pretty much stuck with a menthol until the cigarette finishes. Or if you pop it but then fend for the full flavor, you're still stuck with the menthol.
Now what about Marlboro Smooth, what makes them so popular and a contender here? Well truth being, they are GOOD! Marlboro has a reputation of being classic and having great tasting cigarettes. Though you really don't have a choice weather you smoke a full flavor or a menthol (which is a strong peppermint menthol taste.) The thing now is to get the young ones in this cigarette war. The majority of all people, 18-24 years of age in America smoke a menthol preferred cigarette. Menthol is the new thing now.
Though it might be a new thing, it still has it's bad side. Marlboro Smooth is an icon for rebellious teens that smoke cigarettes. Underage teens at that. That's what probably brings down Smooth here. Smooth also being a one-type-of-a-cigarette cigarette, don't have what the Crush has.
Pros of Crush and Smooth: Crush and Smooth both are a peppermintish flavored cigarette. Though Crush still has a more stronger flavor than Smooth ever will, Smooth still has the power to rake in its smokers.
Cons of Crush and Smooth: Cigarettes are bad, no matter the flavor. Although lights and ultra-lights let smokers inhale a bit less more of the bad stuff, they are still bad. Not only that, teens hunt for the next best thing. Right now it's the menthol and the companies that are fighting to have the top product. When there's a war in the cigarette business, the consumers are always the ones that lose.
I don't get it. How does something like that work?
LOL I questioned those too. But in the filter there is a small little capsule. Squeeze the middle of the filter kinda hard and you'll find a small ball. That's the capsule. It has menthol liquid that once it is broken it is absorbed in the filter. It gives a strong fresh menthol flavor.
A personal tip for menthol lovers, pop the ball just before inhaling while the cigarette is lit. The first inhale is the strongest and wears down as the filter gets tarred. :)
