Marlboro's Double Mix (also called Double Fusion) brings something different to the table with its dual-flavor capsules. These compact 7mm cigarettes pack two crushable balls in each filter, letting you customize your smoke.
Key Specs
- Manufacturer: Philip Morris International
- Format: Compact (7mm diameter)
- Capsules: 2 per cigarette
- Tar: 5 mg
- Nicotine: 0.4 mg
Flavor Options
You've got four ways to smoke these:
- Menthol: Crush the blue capsule
- Berry: Crush the violet capsule
- Combo: Crush both for a minty-berry mix
- Regular: Leave both intact for plain tobacco
The menthol gives that classic icy hit, while the berry adds a sweet twist that's not overpowering. The tobacco base is noticeably milder than regular Marlboro Reds, making this more of a casual smoke.
Smoking Experience
At 5mg tar, these won't knock you out - they're squarely in the medium-strength range. The compact size feels different if you're used to regular kings, but the draw remains smooth. The capsules work as advertised, with flavor kicking in immediately when crushed.
What's interesting is how the flavors layer. The berry comes through first if you crush that capsule, with menthol lingering afterward. Doing both creates a candy-like taste that's unusual for Marlboro.
Who's It For?
This is for smokers who want variety without switching brands. The dual capsules actually deliver on their promise, unlike some single-flavor cigarettes where the taste fades quickly. Just don't expect the full-bodied tobacco experience of traditional Marlboros.
