If they are anything like Belomorkanal then they must be desperate. A Russian friend brought a carton back years ago claiming they were about $0.60 a pack. Man were they absolutely vile.

You could say they were the 21th century version of those. Looked like a normal cigarette, smelled like sulfur and burnt tea leaves.

Another I forgot were these Chinese cigarettes a friend once bought which tasted and smelled like burning solder rosin flux. That was another one or two puff and toss.
