Top 10 Best Cigarette Brands

I have smoked Pall Mall, Newports, Pyramid Red, Marlboro Red, and Silver, but none of them come as close to Camel, in my opinion. The taste is smooth and rich. They burn nicely and smell great. People have told me that Camel is too harsh for them - these are all Marlboro smokers, as you would expect. We're talking about 30-something-year-old men versus a 19-year-old Camel smoker like me. I've thought about trying L&M, Winston, Camel 99s, and other Camel flavors, but I have had Camel Blue, Camel Filters, and Camel Crush. Camel Crush is good, but I prefer the Filters. Whatever brand you smoke, all I have to say is you need Camel in your life. Nonetheless, smoke on and don't let those ignorant ads disrupt you. This is a free country! I <3 smokes.

Camel cigarettes are absolutely the best. They have much better flavor than the rest, and their filters are made of cotton. Unlike Marlboro, or as I call them, Marl-blows, which use fiberglass filters. Yuck! Marlboros are just more popular for now because of their tough-guy reputation and whatnot. But Camel is on the rise. Every day more people are smoking Camels because they are actually paying attention to quality now, and not just some dumb reputation.

Camels are quality, period. If you're a menthol smoker, I highly recommend the Camel Turkish Jade Silver, formerly known as Camel Turkish Jade Lights. They're the best menthol cigarette on the market, even better than the actual Turkish Jade. I used to smoke Newport, Kool, and Salem. Now, all I smoke are these. Trust me. They come in a white pack with a solid green Camel on the front. They're 85s, but they don't come in 100s.

Camel is simply a superior cigarette. Unlike Marlboro, Camel does not load their cigarettes with poor-tasting chemicals that make your stomach turn. Rather, Camels are the perfect blend of Turkish and domestic (American) tobacco and are simply ready to party. A vote for any other cigarette is like a vote for a third-party presidential candidate - a wasted vote.

Lucky Strikes are strong cigarettes in their own right. Marlboro Reds are strong because they contain an abundant amount of catalyst additives to increase their strength. Lucky Strike achieves a robust effect by toasting tobacco leaves during preparation to give their signature taste. I grew up with these cigarettes and they are completely worth shipping over to the U.S., where the filtered style is no longer sold.

I have smoked for over 30 years and have divided cigarettes into two camps: cigarettes that were okay and cigarettes that weren't very good. That was until I tried Lucky Strike. These are fantastic and very unique in a very good way. Amazingly, they are simply made from 100% toasted Burley. There's no blending of Virginia and exotic Turkish tobaccos needed to achieve this amazing flavor and smoothness. Sometimes, simple is best.

I have literally tried every brand of cigarette that is sold in the U.S., and quite frankly, Lucky Strike (unfiltered) is simply the best. It has a smooth and mild taste. With other cigarettes I've tried, such as Camel Turkish Royals and Marlboro Reds, I would choke, gasp, and feel like I might actually cough up a lung. But not with Lucky Strike.

I've been a menthol smoker most of my life, but if menthols suddenly went away, I would immediately become a non-filter Lucky smoker. I occasionally buy a pack as a change of pace and really like their rich flavor. It's hard not to think of smoking non-filters as the purest form of tobacco enjoyment.

I've been smoking Pall Mall Orange and love them. However, I just bought a pack of Pall Mall Menthol 100s and would rate them as excellent. I love the flavor, especially when I exhale through my nose. This is most definitely my favorite brand, but I will continue smoking the Orange as well. The only problem now is that I will definitely smoke more. I just love them.

I quit smoking for a few months, but today I'm going back to my favorite cigarette: Pall Mall Orange. I can't wait for that first satisfying drag. The flavor is incredible, and I get my nicotine fix, which I find so calming and relaxing. It's a truly sensual, satisfying smoke. I just love them.

These smell great, taste good, and hit me nicely. The menthol, especially, has a rich, complex flavor that makes it difficult to smoke passively. I enjoy the act of smoking these, while with other brands, I smoke just to get my nicotine fix.

I only buy roll-your-own tobacco, and Pall Mall - especially the red - has the best taste of them all. Also, it's the only tobacco that stays fresh and has no problem rolling, even when the tobacco box has been left open in the air for a long time.

I can't for the life of me remember the exact price of these cigarettes, mainly because I don't pay attention to the price that's displayed above the registers. However, I do know that of all the cigarette brands I have had the pleasure of enjoying, Newports are my all-time favorites. They are set at a low-budget price, but for a cheap pack, they are quite strong. My Red Newports are as strong, if not stronger, than Marlboro Blacks and Reds.

An added bonus is that Newports burn slower, last longer, taste better, and simply get the job done. When I first tried them, I was hooked on Marlboro Red 72's, but my cravings for a nicotine-filled drag have changed to the Newports I smoke today. I recommend that no matter what you smoke, everyone should at least try Red Newports at least once. And if you prefer menthols, then go for the Newport Greens. However, I'm a bigger fan of the Reds.

I'm not a fan of the short cigarettes from any brand. They just burn up way too quickly. No ...more

When I started smoking again after a long layoff, I happily settled on Newports after trying several old brands from my past. I find it to be the richest and most satisfying menthol cigarette I've tried. I must confess, I find it exhilarating that it has such a high level of nicotine content. I guess that explains why I so quickly became hooked again. But if you love the cigarette you're smoking, it actually adds to the pleasure.

I've been smoking Newports a lot lately. I've been smoking for about 5 years now, and I used to smoke Marlboro Greens, which were okay, and Eagle Menthols, which are only good for smokers strapped for cash. I love this smoke! The rush is amazing. The flavor is amazing. It doesn't leave too much of a stench afterward - just don't go drinking cold water right after. I used to be a strong supporter of Camels, but now that I've tried Newport, they have become more of a sidekick.

Newports are probably the best cigarette for me. I've tried most, if not all, smokes available here and I keep coming back to the Newport Red Shorts. The flavor is awesome and they are about the same price as L&M and Pall Mall. I'll smoke Marlboro Reds for a while and then go back to Newports. Even if I crave menthol once in a while, Newport is my choice. Some say Marlboro and Camel are better, but for the price, you just can't beat a Newport.

When I became a smoker, I was told that Pall Mall was the real deal, and I can agree: they are good for the price. In my country, Sweden, they cost 43 SEK, which is about 6-7 dollars. Winston costs exactly the same. Therefore, when my local shop was out of Pall Mall, I bought Winston to save money. At first (maybe the first and second cigarette), I thought they tasted the same as Pall Mall. But after a while, I could really feel the difference. In every way, they are better. If you ask me, it's the best brand right now. It's cheap and tastes wonderful. What else should you require? Strongly recommended.

I smoke Winston because it's everything a cigarette should be: great taste, super smooth, long-lasting, and there's no chemical taste. I used to smoke Marlboro Red 100s because that's what everyone said was the best. But I started to try others just to see if they really were the best, and they're not. So go grab a pack of Winston Red 100s, and you'll know what I'm talking about. Love them.

These are the best! My granddad used to smoke the red box all the time when we would work out on the ranch, so they've always had a certain nostalgia for me. Anyway, they are so smooth when you take a drag and have a nice strong body. Plus, they are additive-free. What more could you ask for?

I used to smoke Marlboro, but now I love Winston much better. If you want great cigarettes, then go for Winston. It's amazing. I love it. There are different kinds of Winston: blue, silver, and red. The red has the highest nicotine, the blue has medium nicotine, and the silver has the lowest. Enjoy.

I have smoked tons of cigarettes, going from Marlboros to Winston, Pall Mall, Newport, and whatever else you can think of. L&M Blues have to be my favorite. Usually, when I pull a pack of L&M's out of my pocket, everyone asks what type of cigarettes these are. But when I light it up, they say it smells amazing. Really, try it. It tastes good and gives a nice rush.

I love L&M so much. I smoke L&M Red 100's, and they are so good. They go down really smooth. My only complaint is that the smoke isn't wispy. I've tried most of the types, and my friends have the same problem: the exhaled smoke is very thick and cloud-like. But they taste good, are very inexpensive, and are just really good overall.

L&M menthols were the first brand of cigarettes I had when I started smoking, and I can't put them down. They have great flavor and a sweet scent. They're truly amazing. I've tried other brands like Pall Mall and Marlboro, but they don't even come close to L&M menthols.

They burn so fast, but they cost 1.70 euros where I live, and they don't smell strong, like most other cigarettes. They are worth every cent. I can't compare them, nor replace them with any other cigarette.

I smoke Kool Blues. They are not too strong and not too weak. They're very smooth and cooling on the throat. I have tried Newports and other brands and usually sell them to my buddies and then go replace them with a pack of Kool Blues. Kool Greens can be pretty strong if you're into that. As they say, they are the house of menthol. It's the best menthol cigarette I've ever had!

I started smoking Kool at 18, and I've tried every cigarette, but I always run back to Kool. Kool is the smoothest menthol ever made.

Best menthol made. Wish there were coupons like all the others.

It's a nightmare not being able to buy some in Canada, but I miss them so much.

Best man, I used to love the gold chavy Bensons packs. I started smoking Superkings Black as a kid, which my brother and I nicked from my dad. At 20, I started dating a heavy Benson and Hedges Gold 100s smoker, and he liked it if I would try them, as he liked to see us as a couple both smoking the same brand. I loved them and have been smoking Bensons ever since. My brother and dad switched to them too. All our family smokes, and I guess that about half are Bensons smokers. Even my nephews smoke Bensons, representing the youngest generation of smokers.

This is definitely the best cigarette I have smoked in 40 years. I have traveled throughout the globe, carrying my 50 packets of B&H with me. Unlike others, you get to appreciate the cigarette, and your throat loves it. It takes longer to finish, which tells you about the quality of the tobacco being used here.

This brand has its own taste. Nothing can compare with it. It gives you the ultimate taste and fantastic smoke, not too strong and not too weak, and it doesn't ruin your throat. I've tried all sorts of brands available here in Ireland, and only Lucky Strike comes anywhere near close.

When I began smoking, I first smoked Marlboro Lights, Silk Cut Purple, and the occasional Dunhill (the last one my mother smoked). That was until I bought a packet of cigarettes from a vending machine, and instead of the Silk Cut, I accidentally got Benson and Hedges Gold. Well, as soon as I lit one, I knew instantly that I would never smoke another brand again. It is smooth, slightly dry, and burns beautifully. I love them! I probably shouldn't say I love to smoke, but I do, and it can only be Benson and Hedges Gold. J'taime!

Long burn, nice flavor, and a good price (depending on state tax laws on tobacco). American Spirits beat out most brands I've tried due to their fresher taste. As a cigar smoker, I find their burn time admirable for cigarettes. I recommend you try the blues or turquoise if you like a full-bodied flavor. If you prefer a softer flavor, go for the yellow or gold, and then try their menthol.

American Spirit cigarettes last longer than any other cigarettes I've smoked. The different types are very important. I like the yellow pack because of how smoothly they smoke. Light blue is another favorite and it's quite harsh. They offer a smoke for everybody, and everyone I know loves them. The 20-minute cigarette will always be my favorite!

The unfiltered tan Spirits are the strongest cigarettes you can legally smoke. However, their other offerings are just as great. Lime greens are the best menthol I've ever smoked, turquoise are the best full-bodied cigarettes I've ever smoked, and the oranges are a very good light option. They last longer, taste better, and outperform the competition.

American Spirits are absolute heaven. It's all-natural blended tobacco with no additives. They take about 8 minutes to burn, so each cigarette is a commitment. Whether it's lights, full body, or menthol, all of them are great. I've been smoking a pack a day for 7 years. Two weeks ago, I had an American Spirit in the morning and started buzzing so hard I almost fainted and had to sit down. If that doesn't embody American Spirit cigarettes, then I'm not sure what does.

The best cigarette of all time. I don't think there is any cigarette that can come any closer to Marlboro Red. The perfect taste of chemicals and a good buzz. Even buying them feels different.

When I started smoking, I smoked Salem. However, a friend of mine let me try one of his Winstons. I loved the taste without the menthol covering it up. I was 50% sure I was going to be a regular smoker (my mom didn't know yet). But when I tried my first Marlboro Red, I knew I was a smoker. After finishing a pack, I knew I was going to be a regular smoker, so I went and told my mom that I had started smoking and that there was no use in arguing. She saw that I liked it and never complained. Marlboro Reds are the best.

These are great! Smooth and amazing flavor. I recommend them to anyone who wants to start smoking or find a new brand. These and Blacks are my favorites.

I've been smoking Marlboro since I was 14. I've tried many brands of cigarettes, and I always go back to Marlboro. By the way, Dunhill also tastes good. Now that I'm 35, I like the aftertaste of Marlboro. It's my number one choice when it comes to cigarettes.

Not for posers. They literally burn your throat, which is a very good thing if you're not a sensitive little boy.

The Viceroy Menthol Lights taste good, and the smell doesn't linger much.

Mac Demarco is a god.

Every smoker in this world is acquainted with the reputation of Davidoff cigars. Davidoff cigarettes maintain the same well-defined standards of quality and excellence. Born to be elite among cigarettes, Davidoff offers superior unique taste and stylishness. When you smoke Davidoff cigarettes, you not only taste the best tobacco but also experience the history, culture, and tradition of rich and quality smoking.

Davidoff is synonymous with living the good life. We rank these cigarettes at the top of our list of best smokes. Great filter and inhale. Always ask your vendor for the freshest boxes, or even place a special order. Experience the full line of Davidoff products for gentlemen. An excellent choice.

The taste of Davidoff is so much different than any other cigarettes. After tasting Davidoff Gold or Classic, you can't go back to simple Marlboro. For the record, smoking Davidoff is a unique and glamorous experience.

Simply the best cigarette in the world. Classy, the taste, look, and aroma are all incredible. The Davidoff Classic is a cigarette that has such a strong aroma and taste that, if you try it once in your life, you'll be hooked.

These cigarettes are premium - they have the perfect strength and flavor so that they satisfy exactly enough. Just one is not too little, and that last puff is just right so as not to leave any desire for a second. They don't make you sick if stress leaves you smoking a few too many occasionally, nor do they cause you to become tolerant and need to switch up brands ever. Also, there isn't any withdrawal if I want to give smoking a break now and again. When you find something this right, you don't mess with it!

This is by far the best cigarette in the world. Unfortunately, they aren't sold in Australia, so I need to import them from Turkey or Asian countries like Korea. The taste is smooth and consistent, the butt never gets warm, wet, or soft. And I've never woken up with a sore throat, no matter how much I chain-smoke the night before. I'm normally a Marlboro Light smoker, as Parliament smokes aren't sold in Australia, and Parliaments are by far a better cigarette.

The smoke just smells so good. The taste of the Parliament tobacco is so nice and smooth. The smoke is even sweet sometimes. Parliaments aren't ordinary cigarettes. That's why they top my list. The recessed filter really helps to cool the smoke and enjoy the beautiful taste of these cigarettes.

Absolutely the best cigarette I've ever smoked. I actually completely forgot about them, and I used to buy them - laugh out loud. I wonder how much they are now. I need to get a pack. These Sonoma cigarettes I'm smoking right now are terrible. They burn up and leave me fiending for nicotine. Parliaments are the perfect cigarette for people who like to actually enjoy good-quality smoke and maybe even remember they had a cigarette after they've smoked one.

Two thumbs up - 13 out of 10 stars.

I've always smoked Marlboro Red, and I still do sometimes, just to remind me how Rothmans is actually a lot better. Marlboro makes you feel dizzy, and its drag feels heavy. Rothmans Reds are just as satisfying as Marlboro Red, with an outstanding aroma and smell, but a lot more pleasurable.

For real men, yet guys whose knuckles don't drag on the ground. This is not a smoke to forget about hanging off your lip, but one to enjoy.

Always crisp and fresh! The same smoke till the last puff, with no harsh tar taste. Good price, thumbs up.

Best European cigarette by far. Superb flavor, smooth, and a great aftertaste.

I have loved being a Salem smoker for a lot of years. I started smoking at a young age and enjoyed the feeling associated with it, but didn't really find any taste to speak of. Then I tried a Salem and knew at that moment that I would become a long-term, regular smoker. Decades later, here I am, just as happy as ever when I put that first cigarette of the day to my lips and inhale that rich, mentholated smoke. I am so thankful for all these years of Salem pleasure.

I've smoked Newports and Kools, and the store only had 100s in both the other day. I hate 100s, so I said, Give me Salems. I'll never smoke anything else. I smoked Kool Filter Kings for 18 years. It's Salems from here on out!

I've had a fascination with them for ages. While the pre-FSC version was much better, a Salem Full Flavor 100 is still a pretty wonderful smoke.

I have enjoyed Salem's for 36 years and love the 100's. That first cigarette in the morning refreshes your lungs for the day to come.

I live in Canada, and I've tried most of the cigarette brands here. Nothing compares to Du Maurier Signatures. They have the perfect amount of sweetness with a great body, and they have a unique, very bold flavor overall. They're great to enjoy anytime you need some nicotine. The only downfall is that smokes are very expensive here, and these are high-class smokes, so a king-size pack will set you back about $14.50.

The satisfying and intense flavor of these Caribbean tobacco leaves stimulates a taste so insanely good that your taste buds keep you craving more. A marvelous cigarette indeed. Du Maurier is nearly as good as Marlboro - it's the best cigarette brand in the world!

The price keeps getting more outrageous by the day. In Northern Canada, they are costing almost $18 now, give or take, for a pack. But any long-time smoker who I get to try a pack or two of these never goes back. Sadly, I'll pay anything for them.

As an American, I've been smoking these things since the early '90s. Being a Marlboro smoker all my life, these (duMaurier) are the Marlboro of whatever origin they're from. But I get them from Canada (Imperial Tobacco LTD), and I think they are the best-tasting cigarette in the world.

In my opinion, I have smoked many kinds of cigarettes, including most famous ones. I started at 15 years old, and now I'm 21. Kent is the only cigarette that could rival Marlboro! I loved Marlboro Gold 7katran, the old ones, but they changed it. So I smoked Winston until I ended up in the hospital from it. Now I use Kent 4kantran HD. At first, you might think it's very low in tar, but after smoking it for a week, you definitely will never change it anymore!

Kents are the most refined and elegant cigarettes you can find. The taste is sweet and smooth, and they leave little to no smell. Kent Classics are a gentleman's choice, and they last a long time. If you want fewer additives than those found in all the newer, inferior cigarettes being released today, try Kent Classics and you won't regret it.

Kent would be my favorite brand because of the smooth taste. Their filters are one of the best I've seen. Even the strong Kent cigarettes don't leave a taste like a cat just took a dump in your mouth, referring to Winston, ahem. Overall, it's a great brand with excellent taste.

The best cigarette I've ever had. I've tried every single cigarette brand. Like Kent? There's none. KENT: nothing compares to you. History, reliability, and quality have a name. Smoke Kent for a week and you won't compromise. For a smoker, it's a Kent.

They are very underrated. Cheap, burn kinda quick but it hits You pretty good. Great quality tobacco.

Like a lot But very hard time finding them.

They don't burn fast

I've been a smoker for six years and have tried almost all brands available in India. I find Classic Regular to be better than Marlboro Red, which many people think is the strongest. Classic Regular feels the best in terms of smoothness, taste, and nicotine rush. No dry mouth after smoking and leaves you fully satisfied!

I've been smoking this brand for years now and have tried switching to other brands like Marlboro and Camel. The taste and heaviness take some getting used to, but once you've had a few, all other cigarettes in the world seem light in comparison.

If you've never had a classic, you've just missed an epic moment of your lifetime.

Just the right blend and fine flavor make Classic always dependable.

Great full-body taste.

Here in Canada, we have "Canadian Marlboros" made by Imperial Tobacco, which are different from the rest of the world. So when Phillip Morris Co. brought real Marlboros to Canada, they had to use a different name. Calling them "Roof Top" is a nod to the original Marlboro pack design.

I have no idea about cigarettes, but I like the name Roof Top because it reminds me of the fun I used to have with my ex (on the rooftop, of course!).

I just tried these and I really enjoyed them. I would highly recommend these.

I don't know what Canadians believe, but this is not Marlboros. Its taste is different, and it is stronger than that.

Gold Flake King Size has a nice clean tobacco taste with a light, mellow sweet tone. The quality of the tobacco used in the cigarette is good. It draws very well and has a decent enough smoke body for a filtered cigarette. Burning is generally even, with no blush on the paper, indicating good quality paper. It is a slow-burning cigarette, adding value to your money. Overall, it's a nice and pleasurable cigarette, worth a smoke.

If you've got the guts, inhale it to the maximum. You'll feel the maximum taste. It'll surely make you go crazy. This refers to cigarettes made using 'bright rich golden tobacco'. Brands other than Wills Gold Flake include Bacons' Gold Flake, Hignett's Golden Flaked Honey Dew, Salmon, and Gulckstein's Gold Flake.

If you are looking for something called a cigarette, then without much ado, grab one of these. Any other brand might be good as an occasional cigarette, but Gold Flake is the king of daily smoking.

The best option for those who smoke a lot and those who smoke less. There are options provided by Gold Flake, such as Gold Flake Small and Gold Flake King Size.
