I've not seen a discussion on this so, puffing away on my morning cigarette, I decided to make one.

My vice of choice is the Bohem Cigar 6, a cigarette made with 30% cigar leaf. What about you?

I smoke Dunhills. The closest thing they have in Korea to cigarettes back home. Everytime I smoke Raisons (a lot of stores don't stock the "international brands" especially a few of my local GSmarts) i feel extra shitty the next morning.

The Bohems make me feel sick. They're too, er... aromatic? I swear they spray them with some kind of perfume or something. Still, I agree, they are the best Korean cigarette. I'll stick with Dunhills.

It's the strength of them. The white ones are the lights. I smoke the dark blue box. I think they are the strongest. They certainly create a pleasant rush first thing in the morning.

Dunhills are good too but as my mate works for KT&G, I get free packs of the Bohems Cool

I usually smoke Dunhill red, but if the store only has Korean cigarettes i'll opt for the Bohem brown (number 5 maybe). They are far and away the best korean cigarette that i've tried (i haven't tried that many tbh as i only pick them up when dunhill are not an option). I used to smoke L&M red here, my choice of cigarettes in korea has always been shaped by the colors of my favorite football team (red and white) and has yet to disappoint me.

Korean-made Marlboro 'Reds'.

When I go on 'home leave' every year, I've found I don't like Canadian cigarettes anymore - they're too 'harsh'.

Not really a smoker, but I was given a packet of ultra lights recently. Although thinking about it Marlboro lights are not particularly light, so ultras are more like normal lights?

Anyway I'm hard and smoke camels when I can get them.

I hear you. Last time I was there, I tried smoking a regular old Du Maurier and it blew my mind and raped my throat.

I smoke Arirang. I never like Dunhill in any country not sure why. But the best thing about Korean smokes is the price. Back home they will be at least four times the price now.

Until I can find Parliament lights (not sure they exist here?) it's Marlboro lights.

A friend gave me a Plus and it was awful.

Parliaments are not all that uncommon here. They've got them down the street from me, and I live in the boonies.

I smoked THIS for around 5 years. Switched over to Marlboro Reds for the last few years.

Back home Camel Regulars. I miss my Camels
