A very weird cigarette, I must say. Kent is, in South Africa, the old B&H. This is one of their latest offerings.
I could not locate a pic of the SA packaging, but this one is close enough.
As one can see the packet has rounded edges which is all the rage nowadays. The overall design is pleasing to the eye.
The design of the cigarette is a little different, with the name branded with a "technical" looking graphic design. The filter paper is white, which would suggest this cigarette is aimed at the female market.
Now the weird part: if the bottom of the filter is observed, you will notice a small green dot. This is the menthol flavoring! they place it in the filter instead of flavoring the tobacco with it. Weird.
The taste is strange. Menthol cigarettes normally taste like exactly that.... menthol CIGARETTES!! This doesn't taste or feel like smoking, despite a mild nicotine content and a minty type flavor. No after taste, no smoke taste, nothing!
Also draws too easily, feels like sucking air.
Despite being good looking, this cigarette offers nothing to the smoker. If these were the only cigarettes available 15 years ago, I wouldn't have been a smoker today.
