Kool are quite a widely smoked menthol cigarette from what i have heard in the USA, in america Rj reynolds make them but in the E.U there made by British American tobacco , first produced in the early 30s originally like most old brand only available unfiltered filters were added when they became more popular in the 60s . Nat King Cole the singer actually smoked kool's he chain smoked them and could go through 3 packs a day or more . A penguin was there mascot at the start. Not the biggest menthol smoker but for some reason i have always like to try them and Kool is the one i have always wanted to try , but there not available in the UK.

Packaging .

Has a good look to it , easy to tell its menthol and it does stand out , lettering stands out and is arranged well overhaul nice pack .
-7/10

The cig.

Inside the cig 
90.5 % tobacco paper 6.5 % texture 3.0 %  - that's my own translation so i think that's what it is.

10mg tar 0.8 mg nicotine 10 mg carbon monoxide that's quite high for a menthol there usually around 8mg

Paper is held down nice , dark coloured tobacco says Kool like it does on the pack in green. Dry drag light taste nice flavour , lighting it up and first drag ,menthol hits you straight away not a overpowering menthol taste that's a let down for a lot of menthol cigs but not for these. Few drags in burning nice and even. Burn time is a little fast. Not as good as the St.moritz but there expensive but there up there nice menthol flavour , good nicotine hit , the taste stays through out. The mint flavour is good in the mouth
- Nice nicotine hit
- Good menthol not overpowering
- But a fast burn time

-9 out of 10

  1. Are you paying more than $5 / pack of cigarettes? I'm buying my cigs at Duty Free Depot and this saves me over 60% from cigs.
