Calon Menthol Cigarette Reviews

Calon is made in Brazil, under the authority of Tobacco Holdings, USA, the same company that makes and distributes the Bridgeport brand. The king size is 3 1/4 inches long (83 mm), with a white cellulose filter 13/16 inches (21 mm) long.

The cigarette seems fairly well packed, resulting in about 1/16 inch compression when tamped vigorously. We found the tobacco mix to be about the standard "American blend" of light, medium and dark leaf, and we found no foreign material mixed with the tobacco. The strength of the menthol flavor was just right for our taste, which is to say it was relatively light...perhaps a 4 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest strength menthol. The tobacco flavor was light, also...rather surprising in a "full flavor" menthol style. The burn rate was relatively fast and the draw was easy. There was no unpleasant or harsh aftertaste. Not a bad smoke, except for those who like their menthol and tobacco flavor strong. If you normally smoke a light menthol, you might give this style of Calon a try.
