RPhil Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) Reading http://www.hookahforum.com/index.php?showtopic=7603 , I thought I'd make a thread more dedicated to cloves.Aside from the occasionaly cigar, cloves were my first "regular" smoke. For me, Djarums are easily the best (and only around to my knowledge) clove to smoke. More specifically, Blacks.The first time I tried them, I was drunk, and thought they tasted pretty good. I've tried Djarum Menthols, Bali Hais, Cherrys, Splashes, and others also. My first, and still favorite, are the Blacks. They are rather strong and spicy. I enjoy that, because it deviates from the traditional cigarette. Smoking them after I'm a few beers down and already am feeling a small buzz is a wonderful feeling.Feel free to share thoughts/opinions/experiences with cloves!

jbean422 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 i had discovered cloves though the little tobacco shop that i had worked at for a while and still smoke them once in a while, hookahs have taken over that need now but blacks are one of the most amazing guilty pleasures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokinMoose Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Wow I didnt think that many people enjoyed the Blacks, I actually have a pack in my car.They are quite refreshing. Try putting cloves in your tea its really relaxing and good with a sheesha session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never smoked "normal" cigarettes. They are basically cigarettes with enhanced flavor. Illegal in many states because, basically, they taste so good that the local government thinks it will encourage underage smoking. I believe so, at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry_Royter Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 When you mention kreteks. I remember my trip to Indonesia..so wonderful country..There, kretek or kreteks mean strong taste cigarette..made by home industry or by big company...then for the lower nicotine level cigarette they called it filter..Djarhum..hm..looks similar with an old brand in Indonesia..name Djarum..Djarum has many tastes too, they also produces kretek and filter cigarette..Almost forgot! I'm new here. Hi to everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry_Royter Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Oh, Ok SmokinMoose! Thanks! I thought there is another brand..Yup it's originally from Indonesia. Djarum, hm..other that famous too is Sampoerna.. I think hookah is still new there..but cigarette as the local product,can call them the best...kretek yes very strong!! but the filter cigarette,they make many tastes on that,like menthol,even cappucino taste. Very nice Djarum, very nice country, very very nice people...Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nat3r Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 they are illegal in some use statesbecause of the clove in itit also has a chemical in it that will numb your throat so it goes down smoothgives you a VERY different buzz than cigs, so they are meant as like a snack lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is somehitng in the smoke that induces a slight bleedng in the lungs that somehow ammounts to a weird buzz. That's what I understand at least. Personaly, I hate the things, I gag everytime I walk by someone smoking one on campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Kreteks don't actually cause the lungs to bleed, that's an urban myth.They have a chemical in it that causes a numbing sensation in the throat and mouth that makes them easy to inhale. They are ok once in a while but I cannot smoke them regularly. Menthols all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjalex Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I am amazed that many people like the blacks. I have grown to hate them over time compared to Djarum Supers. They advertise that the supers use a special clove blend different from the others. The supers last probably 1.5-2x longer than a regular Bali Hai. If you liked the lights or bali hai's, I recommend trying the supers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braavos Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Cloves are nice every once in a while.They're illegal in some states because they contain a compound called eugenol that essentially numbs your throat, which can be dangerous if you've had too much to drink. They also contain fiberglass (like menthols), and so are much worse for you than most other cigs.Another thing I've noticed is that a lot of the great taste is in the paper they're wrapped with. I wish they'd wrap everything with that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
