Cloves

A common name for the Djarum brand of kretek cigarettes. The name clove comes from the clove content in the cigarette. These cigarettes burn longer, are longer (but slightly skinnier) than regular cigarettes, and taste sweet. They are also referred to as kreteks, because of the noise they give off when inhaled (pop, pop). The smoke they give off is pleasant smelling and also contains something that numbs the smokers mouth/throat after smoking one. Also called Blacks, because of the black paper they are wrapped in and the larger bold faced lettering on the package reads: BLACK They are on the expensive side (only draw back). Comes in packs of 20. Djarum has many different varieties including vanilla, super, supersmooths and cherry (plus more) Another nick name is Christmas, because the smell of the smoke is often related to the Christmas season.
