Benson & Hedges Light Menthol 100's

Two items to address before we get on with today's review:

1) After today's post, I will stop having the MSRP category. State taxes and availability make it almost impossible to find some kind set price per pack.

2) I am many things, but half-assed, I'm not (most of the time). Each cigarette I review has been smoked by me within the last 10 days, and usually within the last 5. I will not write a review based on my memories of a cigarette. Even if it's a horrible, horrible brand that I know I hate, I'll go out and get it again, all for the sake of accuracy.

Anyway- I hate these cigarettes! Read on to find out more.

MSRP: N/A
Taste: Imagine powdered toothpaste combined with that asthma medication you inhale. Now imagine that being shoved down your throat by a gentle, soothing hand. Yeah.
Availability: These are not as widespread as Marlboro or Camel cigarettes, so I'd have to say that a specialty cigarette store would be the best bet.
Burn Length: 5-8 minutes heavily dragged, 7-10 minutes if you're trying to avoid putting it back in your mouth.

These cigarettes are terrible! I'll be the first to say that I do NOT like Menthol smokes in the first place, but I've had my fair share (reviews coming later). These are particularly strong on the Menthol, and light on anything else. I feel like I've just brushed my teeth after smoking one of these, and while that's a nice feeling, it's not what I want from a cigarette! I wanted tobacco taste, and I got dental hygiene.

Overall 2.5 out of 5.
