Kent Crystal DUO tries to stand out with its dual-flavor capsules, but ends up feeling more like a novelty act than a serious cigarette option. The compact 7mm sticks come in boxes of 200 (10 packs) with a minimum order of 3 cartons.

The Smoking Experience
Without activating the capsules, these taste like low-grade tobacco with a harsh, papery edge. The much-hyped flavor capsules disappoint - the yellow "melon" tastes like artificial bubblegum sweetness, while the purple "berry" gets drowned out by an overwhelming menthol blast.
The filter design is interesting but flawed. They've sacrificed the charcoal section to fit both capsules, resulting in a less refined smoke. The tobacco burns evenly but tastes noticeably chemical when the capsules are activated.
