What is Poland's favorite ciggarette? Which brands are the most popular?

kelob, you're possibly thinking of cigarettes made from black tobacco which is .... distinctive (though IME almost no one would describe the smell as appealing).

AFAICT that kind of cigarette is pretty much history.

On the other hand, I've known people that think that kind of unfiltered, relatively unprocessed tobacco is probably less harmful than the chemical mix in western cigarettes (which often includes sugar so that you're caramelizing your lungs).

I'm not a smoker or owt but some Polish guy brings back cigarettes from Poland called "Capital." No-one likes them... I presume they're cheap shite

I only ever smoke Slim Menthols.. they are pretty hard to get hold of in the UK. I can buy some Greek ones called Vogue at my local shop.. but mainly Slim Menthols are only found in mainland Europe.. strange.

Good luck. Just remember the odds are pretty high against you being able to quit after a couple of years of smoking.

Nicotine is _extremely_ addictive and there are lot of 40+ year olds thought they could quit after a couple of years and are still hooked.

Never smoked my whole life and took it up at the age of 40! I blame the Polish influence myself.

A smoking hot Pole, eh? ;)

Marlborough do menthol...(or did)

My fav are Malborough lights - I did start off smoking Silkcut and worked my way up...I tried some L&M's in PL last year and they're not to my liking..cheap yet not very cheerful ;-)


Is that what happens after you put one out?

I smoke Marlboro Menthol if I cant get slim, but they are much stronger. The slim ones are very mild and look nice and ladylike.

Smoking hot Poles.. yeah, bring it on.

I smoke L&M Red, its the closest to Lambert and Butler i could find, but still never the same:/

are you advocating setting poles on fire?...after all there is no smoke without fire ;-)

I remember Sobieski smokes being pretty popular. Kinda your Marlboro equivalent.

I bought Marlboro when I was in Poland recently. They tasted bad. Luckily, I still had some of Marlboro lights 100's I brought with me from US.

I'm more of a 'party" and 'occasion" smoker, so I don't do it daily, besides, just like Billy Clinton - I don't inhale. :)

i get bored with those .... lol....too long ;)


lol!... right :)

really, I don't. People make fun of my 'puffing'. I like the taste, however. Ugly, but tasty - to me.

Actually, there is :)

the classics;

Caro red pack of 25.
WALET menthols - equivalent to KOOL in the US

out of the more new school ones;
NEVADA blue or red

but the best ones are the illegal imported Ukrainian cigs;
2020 , Pilot , and russian Marlboro's are TOP
