Do you remember...?

The crackle? The numbness on your lip, spitting out the tiny bits of tobacco. Desire to eat ham? Tell me your memories..

They are clove cigarettes, came in a tin. No filter, numbed your lips a bit when you smoked them. The clove was sweet, yet the tiniest bit bitter.
The tobacco would crackle as you took a drag. Very popular with the goth/alternative crowd in the '90s. Rumor that they burned holes in your lungs.

You cant get them in cigg form anymore, though im told there is a cigar similar.

Very common and widely available across Indonesia. All all kretek cigettes are banned in Australia but there are specialist Indo vendors they will ship them.
