The Experience
Marlboro Red's packaging keeps the cigarettes fresh even when I'm switching between different brands throughout the day. The first smoke of the day delivers a noticeable buzz - stronger than most other brands I've tried.
The burn time feels just right - not too fast, but you'll finish one in about 5-6 minutes of normal smoking. The flavor is bold and straightforward, with that classic full-flavor tobacco taste. The after-smoke smell lingers for about 10 minutes if you're smoking outdoors.
I've been exploring non-menthol options lately, and these stand out from the menthols I usually smoke. They're noticeably stronger than brands like Lambert's or Benson & Hedges - I find myself smoking fewer of these per day compared to other cigarettes.
The tobacco blend gives a robust smoke that feels traditional. While they've apparently reduced the strength slightly over the years, these still pack more punch than many contemporary cigarettes.
