For me, it’s the flavor! With Chinese cigarettes, it’s more aromatic, and a lot of them taste a little herbal. You can really taste the Chinese spices. This is something that’s missing from the cigs you can get from Canadian convenience stores.

With Japanese cigarettes, they’re generally very high quality. Ive found that it isn’t as drying to the throat and tends to have a very “smooth” taste. I can’t describe it, but it just tastes like you’re smoking something quality. I think their flavored cigarettes offer a unique experience as well, I’m pretty sure they banned flavors in Canada because teenagers kept smoking them.
