I tried cheapest "Belomorkanal" and was surprised because these tastes almost like Cuban cigarettes mostly because they consisted from raw tobacco coated in paper, nothing more.

Belomorkanal is not cigarretes, it is called папиросы, (paper rosy)

Belomorkanal is cool. It has no filter, such a roll-it-yourself-joint kit =)))

Russian cigarettes are essentialy the same shit as all other cigarettes, no more no less.

There's a plenty of brands. Do you want some specific info?

A pack of Marlboro will cost about 1 euro... but it will be locally made (maybe in Central Asia) Marlboro, they just have the name, it is completely different.
It is very common here to have locally made international brands. For example Baltika brews a beer under the name Asahi (which is quite OK) in Saint Petersburg, that's why you can get Japanese beer at a decent price.
I think the biggest producer and seller of cigarettes in Russia is JT (Japan Tobacco), under many different brands (Camel, Winston, Russian Style, Mild Seven, Peter I, Ducat...). They sell tens of billions of them but hardly any Russian knows they are supporting a Japanese company when buying them.

"Papirosy Belomorkanal" are a top-notch. You know why? Because they're cheap as hell. And they aren't supposed for smoking. They're supposed to be a material for joints Smile

Hi guys, The only thing i could say is that cigarretes is not good for the health. There are many effects while using it. First, a mixture of chemicals in the cigarettes are released when heated and enter your lungs (obviously) then, the chemicals numb little censors that are about the size of a thick hair in your lungs, which makes you cough really bad the first time it happens. Then, as those chemicals build up a residue remains on your lungs that is almost impossible to non-surgically remove.
