I've tried both and I really cant smoke the foreign blend of Marlboro Lights. It has a weird burn on my throat and just tastes harsher.

I friend who works for a us embassy got me a 10 cartons (that's the min buy amount) from Switzerland for $150 - but that was two years ago and I still have 8 cartons left! How bad is that?

Anyone else have an opinion of American brands but foreign blends?

The marlboros are all pretty much the same to me. Some of the other foreign brands are very much stronger that domestic brands

I live in Greece. All the EU cigarettes can't compared with the US made last 10 years. The Nazi EU force us to smoke light cigarettes(maximum tar level 10),don't allow to grow european tobacco,so companies takes from third world.
Also RJR sold Camel,Winston,Salem e.g. to Japan Tobacco and that company changed the quality,Philip Morris makes rubbish tasteless cigarettes into the EU,Brown and Williamson is dead,the same Rothmans inc.,Atlandis,and Gallagher which bought by BAT and changed the cigarettes blend recipe.
Small tobacco companies closed,only the Karelia Inc still lives.

I don't like any cigarette in the Greek market. Used to smoke Camels until 2002 when JT changed the blend. 2002 -2006 Dunhill's, BAT changed and them so i smoke George Karelias and Sons
When i am in Germany i smoke "Orienta" an excellent cigarette. In the UK i prefer Sobranie Black Russian and Tor and in the US Camel Turkish and Lucky Strike

Hello, i am new in forum, not in CigReviews. I had reviews for that brands long time ago.

Welcome Petr_4, I saw your review at cigreviews for the Sobranie Black Russian smokes. I looked those up at "cigpedia". The packaging looks cool. I have never seen those though in any of the tobacco shops I go to. If I see them, I will try based on your review.

I am not sure if they are available in the States. Before some years was. Sobranie is a cigarette you can find only in limited areas and really expensive (12E/pack=16$),a smoking experience you should try at least once. Made in the UK by Gallagher limited a part of JT inc.
