Smoking Experience
Before lighting, the cigarette gives off a menthol scent with hints of cocoa, licorice, and vanilla from the American blend tobacco. When smoked, the smoke volume is moderate, and the burn is even, lasting about 7-9 minutes unclicked. The initial taste is light-bodied with a cool menthol base, featuring notes of toasted bread, nuts, and a subtle sweetness. Clicking the capsule releases a stronger peppermint-spearmint flavor, boosting the cooling effect and reducing burn time to 6-8 minutes. I feel the throat hit is mild, with minimal harshness, and the aftertaste is frosty with a clean finish.
Comparison and Positioning
Compared to Marlboro Ice Burst, the Camel Connect offers a more complex peppermint-spearmint profile and a longer 100mm length. It's suited for experienced smokers who prefer a high-cooling menthol cigarette for daily use, especially those who find standard menthol options too mild. While it shares similarities with flavored capsule cigarettes, it stands out for its classic mint focus and extended smoke time.
Practical Pairing Suggestions
This cigarette pairs well with black coffee, as the bitterness can balance the intense coolness and reduce any throat irritation. Avoid sweet drinks to maintain the clean, minty taste.
