D&J cigarettes sit in that odd space between discount brands and mid-tier smokes. Manufactured by Tobacco International Company, they offer several varieties at price points that make you wonder about the catch.

Smoking Experience
The Virginia Blend version scores a 7/10 on taste - higher than expected at this price. It's got a slightly sweet, woody character that doesn't immediately reveal its budget origins. At 4mg tar and 0.4mg nicotine, these won't knock you out, but they deliver a consistent smoke.
The Filter Tipped variety burns faster than premium brands, with some unevenness in the draw. You'll notice the paper quality isn't quite up there with bigger names, but at $27 a box, that's expected.
These won't replace your daily Marlboros, but they work as a backup or when you want to stretch your tobacco budget. The hard box versions travel better than the soft packs, which tend to crush easily.
