All i can tell you about theses is what i found on the internet , with them being from Canada i don't know to much about them, the brand is called Export , the a comes as part of the range from what i can gather from what i am reading about them. Produced by JTI Macdonald on Wikipedia it says there available around the world , i can tell you being from England i have never seen them before. The recognized products are the Export a line , there is a Export plain available ( Unfiltered ) aswell as a rolling tobacco. I think they are quit populour in Canada , but im not sure. On the pack it says they have been made since 1928.
Packaging.
( Pictures of packaging will be at the bottom of this review. )
Ignoring the HUGE warning that Canada has to have in both French and English , its in a green pack unusual for a non menthol cigarette. But the green works very well and goes nice with the white x and the writing and the women all go together to produce a nice pack , a little plain and basic though.
-8/10- Would be miles better if it was not for the warning's bit plain and basic but overhaul a very nice well thought out pack that goes together.
The cig
First off the content is much higher than anything available in the E.U as Canada and America ect.. don't have limits.
The first thing you will notice is the small filter , it will shock nearly everyone , but this is actually how filters were when they were first introduced they were only small. This dosent effect its size , its a king size cigarette . As i said small filter , very light in colour green band where the filter meets the paper says Export 'A' in green and 2 more green bands. It has contact paper just before the filter i hate contact paper . Dry drag smooth flavour nice a sweet , smell before lighting it up , very sweet smell , but not that heavy.Light colour tobacco.
Lets get it lit up.
Good flavour from the first drag, not to harsh to me it goes down very smooth. Nice even burn from the start , i love the flavour its sweet , getting a good nicotine rush off of it. Burning nice a slow , still even. I'm picking up a smoky flavour to it ( i know it sounds stupid ) its quite unique to anything i have had before. Its giving off quite the nicotine rush as i haven't had stronger than a E.U cig in a while. Its a enjoyable cigarette, the flavour stays consistent.
8 out of 10
- Good flavour nice even burn not to bad a burn time great nicotine rush enjoyed it.
- Pack pictures - Canadian packs have large warning one side in English the other in French.
Are you paying more than $5 / pack of cigs? I'm buying high quality cigs over at Duty Free Depot and I'm saving over 50% on cigs.
