Embassy Number 1 ( UK )

Overview

- This is a request from the amazing ryan.
First off sorry for the delays been really busy of late, so embassy quite a big brand in the UK , nearly everyone has tried or been on embassy at some point, when the were relaunch in the 60s more money was spent on it than any other cigarette before it. They used to run coupons where you could collect them and buy things. Originally made by Wills , embassy used to have a lot of cigarettes out number 7 premium embassy extra mild and even a menthol. Today only the filter and these remain. Embassy was the sole sponser of the world snooker but had to give it up when the advertising ban came in the sponserd it for i think around 30 years.

Price

Cost a lot these days , but you get what you pay for, same price as Regal at around £7.80.

Packaging

They have had a update they used to be the same font as Regal but now its been updated it still has that classic look , but its not for me the old pack will always be better. A lot of people say they look the same Regal the reason for this is Embassy make them Regal used to be called Embassy Regal.
-8/10

The cig.
Big filter just like Regal , same colour just says Embassy number 1 lets get it lit up , first drag , very smooth flavour great taste not as harsh as Regal , very smokable from just the first few drags, burning quite evenly , like Regal there burn time compared with most brands is quite shocking to say the least. There flavour has changed quite a bit hard to tell you what it tastes like , but it is nice. i type this as i smoke not a lot has been added and im past half way ( burn time for you.) its easily one of the better tasting cigs out there., very sweet. Even towards the end they stay a very smooth smoke. Decent nicotine rush from them. Worth every penny. i still prefer Regal to these as there my every day smoke.
- Good smoke , good flavour , even burn , good nicotine rush
- Awful burn time.
8.5/10
i prefer Regal but a great smoke non the less. Worth getting if you have never tryed them you wont be disaponted , every one should try Regal and Embassy some of the iconic brands of the UK.
