Benson & Hedges Dual ( UK )

Overview                                   ( Next review my regular brand Regal King Size )

Benson & Hedges are one of the iconic brands of England and sell well through the world , at one point the carried the royal seal as they were the chosen cigarette of the royal family , but the days of being one of the bigger selling brand in the UK is fading away as the price goes up , they were known for the extravagant adverts , they were also at one the sole-makers of silk cut , they also sponserd several horse racing events as well as snooker , but most famous for the sponsorship of cricket matches . These click and roll are quite new on the market in the uk, it seems like something that is impossible to do change the flavour of your cigarette halfway through .

Price

£6.82 from Asda not bad price for the UK around mid priced.


Packaging

It is a great pack , looks like they have really tried to make a modern B&H pack , its nice the colours go really well together , the effort really shows , they have also incorporated the capsule  to full use on the pack as well , its one of the better modern packs out there, it slides like the Silver slide they make ( if you want them you have to ask for silver slide otherwise its in a normal pack ) but all the Dual ones are on the slid pack , this adds to the modern look , it all works really well. - Could be to flashy for some people , but hay , its just a pack its looks good , but its what's on the inside that counts. 8.5/10


The cig

Clear white filter , blue ball indicating where to click when you want to change the taste just says B&H dual nice cig design even looks like some effort has been made here aswell 8 mg of tar 0.6 mg of nicotine and 10mg of carbon monoxide so quite a light cig that's common with these click things , don't think there are any full strength  it has a persporated filter so that takes any kick it might have away , it has quite a good traditional B&H flavour , usually before clicking when its a normal cig flavour is pretty bad but this is not bad at all it has quite a good flavour a little to light i like a nice light cig now and again , it is dosent deliver to much of a kick , normal taste quite good but a little light , so lets click it , it has a FANTASTIC flavour , very much like polos , the flavour is much better than before the click and the real enjoyment with this cig is when you click it usually its a menthol taste with the click but they have gone with this its has worked great - Good Bensen & Hedges quality great taste worth a try just for the flavour it really is good , much better than the pall mall ones so i would pay that bit extra just for the extra quality you do get. has a nice even burn - a little one the light side though - 7/10 for the cig as normal - 8/10 for the flavour its wonderful worth trying just for the flavour .

  1. i just found one of these , never heard of DUAL ciggie. i was impressed especially when you ' snap' the filter thing, quite a good idea. premium brands are way too expensive for me though

    1. Try "The Pipe Shop" in Edinburgh, if they don't have it ask, they have their contacts in the snuff business.
