Smoking: But how do they taste?
On the pleasure-meter, the American Spirit regular filter cigarette does fine. This is a cigarette with a definite bouquet of, well, tobacco. Missing is the slight sweet tinge found at the tongue tip after a Marlboro regular. No liquorice or cocoa in this smoke.
The American Spirit burns a little differently. It may be fractionally harder to draw on than a Marlboro and leave it burning on the ashtray and the ash grows longer and longer without ever dropping off.
Does this smoker feel a rush of health-conscious righteousness from taking a smoke that advertises itself as all-natural? Not quite. So far there is no sign of my winter-long cough abating.
