St Moritz Menthol ( UK )

Overview 

This time there isnt much to say about these as i have never heard of them or no idea they even existed, i do belive that they are imported from whereever they are made ( theres a place called St Moritz so i would imagine there. ) Produced by British American Tobacco , but made under the authority of Turmac tobacco company  , i would think there the original producers / owners  , this is all from the pack i have looked on the internet for more but couldn't find anything on them , so this from what i can tell must be quite a rare cigarette to find . Im not the biggest menthol smoker out there but i do like them from time to time , and know quite a lot of people who smoke them. i wanted to try them as i haven't seen or heard of them before.

Price

These are the most expensive cigarettes i have ever bought , the same price as Dunhill ( never tried them ) they are close to verging on £8

Packaging 

It has wonderful packaging , very classy well you probable are classy if you can buy these to smoke every day. Although it is very nice , and is presented well , for the money you pay , the packaging i find there to be something lacking really . - Not bad at all looks very nice well designed . 2 things that also lead me to belive they are imported is , inside its separated into 10s , i have only come across one actual English brand that does this and also , there isn't a picture on the back its just a written warning. - 7 or 8 out of 10 - Nice and classy but something lacking . Its also a very large pack , it is VERY impractical to carry round with you its large and bulky .

The cig .

I am quite sure there bigger that superkings ( 100s ) , not by much but i don't have any lying around to compare them to. Very fancy looking has a gold band on it ( a actual band sort of like what's used on cards , and Christmas crackers ) Has St Moritz in green on the body of the cig, and a small crown above that . It is the best designed cig i have ever seen it does look really nice , a lot of thought has been put into the design on the cig unlike most brands. Even when you have a drag before lighting you get a nice menthol taste . At 10mg of tar 1.0mg of nicotine and 10mg of carbon monoxide its the strongest we can get in the E.U . it delivers a fair hit , not to strong or harsh considering it the strongest available, most menthol cigs have a very overpowering taste to them , but they have managed to find the right balance with it its not overpowering it really is a great menthol taste , burn times is good and they burn down nice and even. It is a a very light menthol taste though . overhaul it is a very good menthol cig . The menthol become a lot stronger as you get towards the end . - If you want to try a menthol i would go with the cheaper brands like Ritchmond first , just to see if you like them, the price is very off putting though , but they are worth trying though , great flavour good hit . -9/10

  2. I smoked St Moritz & /or Dunhill Menthol for 30 years ( as well as vaping since they since out). Dunhill menthol stopped being imported @ 15 years ago. Both were smooth & had a nice blend of
    menthol that was not overpowering like Consulate & other menthol cigarettes.
    I would really like to know where you are able to purchase them. I can no longer travel due to a neurological degenerative disorder so am no longer able to purchase duty free or in any country where you can buy them.
    I would greatly appreciate knowing where I can purchase now.
