Smoking Experience
When unclicked, the cigarette tastes similar to a light menthol smoke, with a smooth draw and consistent burn. Clicking the capsule activates a stronger mint flavor with a subtle berry note, though the berry taste is not very prominent. I feel the smoke volume is moderate, and the throat hit is mild, making it easy to smoke, but the grape flavor could be more pronounced.
Comparison and Positioning
Compared to Marlboro Ice Blast, the Camel Activate Purple Mint offers a more distinct flavor change with the capsule, adding a berry element instead of just enhanced menthol. It's suited for smokers who enjoy experimental menthol cigarettes and want an affordable daily option with a unique feature.
Practical Pairing Suggestions
This cigarette pairs well with iced tea or light beer, as the coolness can balance the minty flavor and reduce any sweetness. Avoid heavy drinks to keep the taste clean and refreshing.
