Well, I have to disagree with the Old Guy's review. I have always smoked Marlboro 100's and started looking around for a less expensive brand. Tried the Bridgeport FF a couple of months ago and liked them. They seem a bit 'skinnier' than the Marlboro, but not enough to matter. Suggested to my sister to switch from Basic Mentol to the Bridgeports. The Old Guy's review said they were made in Brazil. The ones I get are made in the Phillipines. Perhaps he should try a pack of mine? Kathy M.

Bridgeport Menthol King: Made in Brazil. Length: 3 ¼ inches, 83 mm; filter ¾ inch, 20 mm. The tobacco, made of mostly light-to-medium brown flakes, compressed about 1/16 of an inch in our tamp-down test. One piece of stem was found in the mix. The Old Guy got down right irritated about this one. He said it went down "really rough" and tasted like burnt popcorn. The best thing about it, said he, was that it burned faster than most and that it wasn't a 100. (He always smokes a cigarette short enough to blister his lips...or to burn cellulose, whichever comes first. So he was evidently glad this one got to that point quickly.) He did NOT care for it! (In the interest of staying on his good side, we probably won't offer him any other styles in the brand.)

Bridgeport Full Flavor King: Made in Brazil. Length: 3 ¼ inches, 83 mm; filter ¾ inch, 20 mm. The tobacco is a mix of predominately medium-brown flakes, with just a few bits of light and dark throughout and a few ribbons. It compressed about 1/6 inch in the tamp-down test. One piece of stem and one scrap of paper were found in the sample. The Old Guy was kind of on the fence with this one. He found nothing wrong with either the draw or the drag, but he felt it burned too quickly. He felt the overall taste left a bit to be desired and was quite weak for a full flavor. There was also a noticeable hint of vanilla in it. However, it left no unpleasant aftertaste. His final words of advice would be to give this brand a shot.

Made in Colombia, Broncos Kings and 100's are available in Full Flavor, Light, UltraLite, Menthol, and Menthol Lite.

MENTHOLS:
Some who prefer a strong menthol taste say the menthols are too light. Other menthol smokers like them just fine.

One member reports that after sampling the Full Flavor Menthol, the Broncos were their brand of choice.

Other smokers' opinions: "I was lucky enough to have someone give me a pack of BRONCO menthol lights cigarettes . . . . They taste just as good as my old cigarettes, Virginia Slims, and cost me a lot less!"

"I purchased a carton of Bronco Menthol and I have to wonder why I had smoked Newports for so long. The Broncos taste, smoke and burn like a premium cigarette. . . The smoothness and lack of harshness plus the perfect blend of menthol have hooked me."

Bronco Lites:
"I have smoked Marlboro light 100s for years. Recently, I tried Bronco light 100s and find that they compare to the Marlboros at a much better cost."

Bronco Full Flavor:

from a Marlboro Red smoker: "not quite Marlboro, but not bad."

"I thought Bronco was a very good cigarette, essentially similar to Marlboro FF but burns more slowly than a Marlboro. It has a strong, full-bodied smoke but I do not think it is any stronger than Marlboro."

from Al M:
" I tried the Full Flavors and I liked them. It has a nice smooth taste and I would say Full Flavor tastes similar to Marlboro Red. Two thumbs up from me!"

from DCSG:
"A product of Colombia, made under the authority of Sun Tobacco, LTD. Length: 3 5/16 inches, 84 mm; filter 1 inch, 24 mm. The tobacco is a standard blend of light-to-medium brown flakes (with a few ribbons) and nothing unusual was found in the mix sampled. It also compressed about 1/8 inch in the tamp-down test. The Old Guy found nothing wrong with this one. It had a fine drag and a smooth draw. He was pleased with the taste, too. It had just enough boldness for him, with maybe just a touch of vanilla that was not overpowering. He said it left no unpleasant after-taste at all and burned at just the right rate. The Old Guy has already finished the pack he got from us and looks forward to getting more."

One smoker sent this review:
First my wife and I tried the Buffalo Full Flavored style. We both found them a little harsh as we had been smoking the Sonoma Full Flavored cigs.  I adapted to them, but my wife couldn't.  The 2nd order was 2 each FF and Light. For me the Lights are too light, but for Anne they are just right. One of my sons was visiting - he normally smokes Marlboro (the brand with the most additional chemicals added). He tried the FF Buffalo, and said they were so light that there was nothing to them. See how people are?

Calon Full Flavor King -
Made in Brazil, under the authority of Tobacco Holdings, USA (the maker of the Bridgeport brand), the Calon king is more or less a standard full flavor (filtered) smoke. It measures 3 1/4 inches long (83 mm), with a white cellulose filter of 13/16 inches (21 mm). When we tamped the cigarette, we gained about 1/16 inch compression. The tobacco blend is just slightly darker, overall, than most "American blends", and we found no foreign material in the mix of ribbons and flakes. The draw was easy and the burn rate about average. In our opinion, there is nothing wrong with this one...if you normally smoke a full flavor style, it should compare favorably with your current premium brand. And at about a third the price. We can't be sure of which flavor additives are added, as we were unable to detect any. This lack of "smoothing" agents (like chocolate, vanilla, or the like) may be a turn-off if you normally smoke the "cowboy" brand, but on the plus side, we found no harsh or bitter aftertaste.
-DCSG review

Calon Menthol King -
We found the tobacco mix to be about the standard "American blend" of light, medium and dark leaf, and we found no foreign material mixed with the tobacco. The strength of the menthol flavor was just right for our taste, which is to say it was relatively light...perhaps a 4 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest strength menthol. The tobacco flavor was light, also...rather surprising in a "full flavor" menthol style. The burn rate was relatively fast and the draw was easy. There was no unpleasant or harsh aftertaste. Not a bad smoke, except for those who like their menthol and tobacco flavor strong. If you normally smoke a light menthol, you might give this style of Calon a try.

All I can say is YUCK! The menthol 100 is very dry and unpleasant. I couldn't even smoke a whole one! I gave the rest of the pack to a neighbor who's always bumming cigarettes, and he hasn't asked me for a cigarette since! My husband says the nonmenthol are bad, too. Tucsons remain our brand!

The Menthol Light 100s are the best menthol cigarette that Smokin' Joe makes, for my taste. Smoother and less harsh than their other menthols and the strength is of a 'light'.

I tried Exact Menthol Full Flavor 100's several months ago. I thought when I tried them for the first time there was a different taste, but not altogether unpleasant. After a couple of days I did not even notice the difference between them and the brand I smoked previously. I have enjoyed them very much. If you smoke generic or native cigs, you should try these. They are a great value at a great price!

GT-One includes a Non-filter choice! It tends to be a milder cigarette and is preferred by some smokers for that reason.

Al:
"Full Flavors are a tad bit lighter than what I am used to smoking. Otherwise not too bad."

One smoker, comparing the GT-One with Senecas said:
"I have only smoked a pack or two of the GT ONE and found it a bit too light for my taste."

Other smokers' comments:
GT-One FF Menthol Lights -
"They are wonderful. These cigarettes are the smoothest I ever smoked. They don't burn fast at all. I can compare them to a Salem light but a bit lighter and mintier. I love them. They are my new brand! "

GT One FF Menthol 100's -
"I've found my new brand! As a former Marlboro smoker, I despaired of ever finding a lower-cost cigarette that could compare. . . They're really excellent. Smooth and rich with a good menthol flavor, they don't burn too quickly and draw easily."

DCSG review:
GT One Menthol 100's - The tobacco is made of mostly large light-to-medium flakes, and nothing foreign was found in the sample. The Old Guy thought this was a surprisingly good smoke. He was pleased with the way it went down (not rough at all), and it didn't burn too fast. The flavor was not at all overwhelming with menthol (which, as we know, he doesn't usually care for), but it was bold enough for even him to be impressed with. He also found absolutely no unpleasant aftertaste, almost as if he didn't smoke it all. This one he would give about a "7"on a scale to ten, and he would definitely recommend it as a good choice for an economical "everyday" brand.

"My wife and I both went to Market Lights 100s. They have flavor - not the Pall Mall I used to smoke. I adapted very well to them. My wife used to skip from this light to that, but we have both settled on Market Lights 100s as the best for both our tastes."

"Not good at all. Their menthol lights are quite harsh and have a bitter aftertaste."

"The Menthol Light 100s are a decent cigarette. The menthol and menthol aftertaste are only slightly too strong...not enough to ruin the cig. The strength is a notch above light."

Market Menthol King:
About 1/8 inch of tobacco compressed in the tamp-down test, and the smoke burned at a normal rate. The tester thought this one was very good; it has an easy drag and a smooth draw. The flavor, he said, was good and strong with no lingering bad aftertaste. He says he'd recommend this one to anyone serious about bold menthol flavor at a good price.

NATIVE is made by Native Trading Associates in the Mohawk Nation Territory, this brand is Additive-Free.

Native is said to be best in Menthols and Full Flavor. NATIVE Menthol gives you a blast of Menthol. The NATIVE brand gets many rave reviews. . .

Al said:
"This brand is highly recommended! I love Native and have been smoking the Full Flavor for 6 years now. You Marlboro or Winston smokers will love these! The Menthol tastes great too! "

Another smoker said:
"I decided to try the NATIVE Brand and they are really really good. I also ordered them for my daughter...She was a Camel Light smoker..and we all know how hard a Camel smoker is to break! Well she got her cigarettes and before the month was out she ran out of smokes waiting for her autoship to arrive. She went to the store and bought her usual Camels. What she said even shocked me!. She said, 'Mother when is my autoship coming? These Camels taste awful!' She is sold and so am I."

And more reviews :
"I have recently had several Carlton smokers who tried the "Native" and loved them. They were especially pleased with the idea of smoking an All Natural & Additive Free blend."

"NATIVES are as good or better than any national brand and the menthols are exceptional."

"I smoked Winston and Camel (Camel Wides when they came out ) all my life. I can tell you that after smoking a carton of Native Full Flavor, I will not go back to Camels or Winston. I will not smoke a bad cigarette to save money. Dont need to. The Native smoke is real close to the Winston."

"I've been smoking 30 years. Started with Dunhill ff menthol, then went to Kool ff menthol. Today I had my first pack of Natives. A decent smoke, and strong enough to replace my Kools if I wanted them to. It packs down nice and stays a solid cigarette, with very few pieces of tobacco left floating around the pack or the cigarettes themselves. A word of advice: They are a STRONG, FULL FLAVOR MENTHOL LIKE KOOL, so if you smoke Newports, Salems or anything light, don't smoke full flavor Natives, as you won't like them."

"I think Natives All Natural cigarettes are the best cigarette for value on the market. I have smoked for over 30 years and I have always smoked Marlboros, but now I would not change from Native. I have been smoking them for a few months and I love the idea of no additives and also that they have taste. Not even talking about the price."

"I smoked Kent Golden Light Kings for over 25 years. . . The Natives are nicely packed and the taste and draw are excellent. There is no harshness at all. I believe the fact that there are no additives in these cigarettes makes a tremendous difference."

"The best cigarette on the market! It will take time to get used to the lack of additives, but from that point, nothing but Native will do. I smoked Marlboro for ten years and can't stand them after a real cigarette."

"I would have prefered to roll up used coffee grinds and smoke them through a smelly tube sock then have another Niagara."

More smokers' reviews:

Al said:
"Good tasting cigarette. A little on the strong side. Compares well to Marlboro, though I will say, that Niagara seems to leave a bit of an after-taste."

Another:
"The Niagara Lights taste exactly like a Marlboro Light King."

And another about LITES:
"I used to smoke Barclays but I'm satisfied with the Niagara lights now. Been smoking for 35years."

"I used to smoke Winston and Camel filters on a regular basis. I tried the Niagara FF Kings, and there's no going back. The true tobacco flavor of Niagara is completely satisfying. I smoke less/enjoy more...at a fraction of the cost. My daughter and son-in-law have switched to the Niagara Lights. They've now gone through about 15 cartons, and they tell me they won't buy Marlboro Lights again...not because of the price, but because of the flavor."

"I decided to give Niagaras a try. I was used to smoking Camel Lights or Winston lights, but the full flavor Niagaras were so great I didn't even bother to try the lights."

"I have been smoking Newport 100s for over 15 years, but I switched to Niagara Menthol Kings. I find them to be smoother tasting, longer burning, and a great price!"

Roger Cigarettes have been compared favorably to Marlboros. Many say there's no better tasting cigarette on the market than the Rogers.

One smoker who tried them all tells us all the flavors taste good.

Most similar to Benson & Hedges & Marlboro.
Menthol Lights - similar to Salem.
Menthol Full Flavor similar to Kools.
Ultralight smokers find these mild with no difficulty drawing. Similar to Marlboro Lights.
Similar to Marlboro in BOTH the Full Flavor & Lights.
ROGER MENTHOL - better than Newport or GPC and Smoother!

Some smokers' comments on Rogers:
"I was a Marlboro light smoker and a Merit smoker for years, until the price went sky-high. Then I discovered Roger cigarettes and the price behind them. They burn like a full priced smoke and have a great taste! "

"A very light cigarette. I usually smoke Merit Lights, and find the Roger Lights didn't have quite as much flavor."

"I just tried a pack of Roger full flavor kings. Fantastic! I've recently been smoking Niagara full flavor kings - good, but strong. After some trial and error in the world of 'value' cigarettes, Roger is the one for me. They do taste like Marlboro!"

"After smoking Benson & Hedges Menthol Light or Marlboro Menthol Light for nearly 20 years, I was really excited to find the Roger brand. Roger is almost identical to Marlboro... very high quality!! Plus they are available in the crush proof box! I'm saving over $20 per carton! WoW!!"
- Johnny J., New Orleans, Louisiana

Al's opinion:
"I like a strong full flavor taste and found the cigarette very tough to draw on. Least favorite of brands I tried, although "Lights" smoking friends of mine seem to like Roger."

Note: "OPAL 120's" are now Seneca 120's!

Also known as New York Senecas (and some mis-spell them as Senaca cigarettes) they are very popular for their low price and high quality, AND because they are Additive-Free. This cigarette is Native American-made in Canada.

One smoker said:
"They have a robust, but smooth taste. I smoke them now and the last major brand I smoked was Winston Lights. The full flavor Senecas are smoother than the Winston and very satisfying."

Another smoker comments:
"I smoke the Senaca menthol ultra lights, and they taste just like Salem ultra lights."

Seneca Menthol Lights:
" have smoked Salem Lights for 20+ years, switching to Marlboro Lights a couple of years ago due to pricing. I am on my fourth carton of Seneca Menthol Lights and find them somewhere in between the two other brands.The Menthol Lights are VERY full-flavored, but not at all harsh. Honestly now, if Salem Lights and Marlboro Lights were both the same price as Seneca, I would still buy the Seneca brand. The fact that Marlboro and Salem are $36-$40 here in Arizona makes it a no-brainer."

Seneca Menthol Light 100's:
The bottom line is we are very impressed! First, these folks do not stint on tobacco...the cigarettes are firmly packed. So much so that it is virtually impossible to tamp them down more than a tiny fraction of an inch. Secondly, the tobacco appears to be good quality, in that there are few crumbs and in the several packs we've gone through we have found no chunks of stems (or any other foreign material). They use a bit more menthol than some others, but it is not excessive and the smoke is not harsh. We'll be buying more of them!
- dcsg review

Yet another smoker on the Senecas:
"I have smoked the NY Senecas on a regular basis and can say this: They compare very favorably to Marlboro & Winston. You'll find the Seneca (and all the All Natural / Additive Free Blends) have a more full bodied tobacco flavor. They have done an excellent job of blending premium tobaccos to match the flavor of the more expensive Premium Brands without using chemicals and flavoring additives to mask the tobacco or manipulate the taste. I've had a number of folks tell me they actually had withdrawal symptoms switching from smokes with chemicals and additives to the additive free blends."

Al's opinion:
"Pretty good! Tastes different than what I'm used to smoking but in a good way! Definitely a "Premium" tasting cigarette."

Another comments:
"Although the cigarettes are well made and burn slowly, the full flavor cigarettes are very light. Smokers who prefer a light cigarette will find the full flavor Senecas to their liking."

Most commentaries indicate that the Senecas tend to the "light side." Menthol Light is pretty close to a Menthol Ultralight in Premium Brands.

I switched from Misty & Basic Menthol Light 100 to the Sincerely Yours Menthol Light 100s and thought they were simply awful. The menthol was even stronger than Misty's; the tobacco taste was very weak, the draw was heavy. I thought the cigarette was extremely harsh.

Made in the USA. The tobacco mix is a standard blend of medium-brown ribbons and flakes, and nothing unusual was detected in it. About 1/16 inch compressed in the tamp-down test. First, our tester was a bit put off by the appearance of the pack; it seemed to look a bit too much like a "girl's smoke" to him. But he got over that once he tasted it. He was surprised by the rich, bold flavor of this "light" brand. He said the draw was easy, and it went down nice and smooth. He did say he would like for it to burn a bit more slowly. No matter, though, because he really liked this one.

Smokers' comments:

We are on our tenth carton of Sixty1's, Full Flavor 100's, which we tried because they are the cheapest smoke we've found to date. This is a very smooth, flavorful smoke with no off aftertaste. Sixty1's are much less harsh than many other Super-Value brands we've tried, including Yours, Sincerely Yours, Smokin' Joes and others in that class. The cigarettes are well made without chunks or holes, or being loosely packed. The only down side we've found to this brand is the filter...it will burn in a heartbeat if you don't carefully snuff it out before the fire hits that yellow band! Keep your car ashtray cleaned out, as leaving a burning cigarette in the holder can easily set fire to any piled up filters left in it. But don't let the incindiary filter put you off trying this brand, which is made in the Philippines from American tobacco. It's a heck of a good smoke for a rock-bottom price!
- K.H.

Ordered a carton of Sixty 1 Menthol Lights 100 because of the great price while ordering a carton of Newport's for my sister. I read the great reviews on the Full Flavor 100's here, so I thought it would be worth the try. NOT! Not certain if I got a bad carton, but Sixty 1 Menthol Lights have no menthol taste at all! The first two puffs, you get that great menthol taste and the rest of the cigarette tastes like a Full Flavor regular cigarette and I hate those! It also tastes as if you're smoking charcoal or a firecracker. Sixty 1 may make a great Full Flavor smoke, but they are awful at Menthol. Now I have to see if I can try and pawn off the remaining 6 packs that I have to someone. For your best bet at a discount Menthol, I HIGHLY recommend Homer Menthols or Infinity Menthol Lights 100.
- PeaJay

If you are still a full flavor smoker, and want something with a little kick, Sixty One's (called Sixty's in some places) are the brand to go with. I smoked full flavor Camel Wides and nothing quite came up to what I wanted until I tried these. To compensate for lack of wides, I order the full-flavor 100s, and it is exactly like smoking a Camel. I read a review that says the filters burn, but that must have been some sort of mix-up, because these filters do not burn, even when I forget to snuff one out. The cigarettes are packed nice and tight, so the coals don't fall out as much as some others I've tried. So if you want full flavor in a value cigarette, I highly recommend Sixty One's.
- Marti C.

Sixty 1 Full Flavor King:
This brand is manufactured in the Philippines from tobacco imported from the U.S.A. The "tamp down" test resulted in very little compression...about 1/16 inch. The tobacco was about 90 percent medium brown, and mostly finely cut ribbons. We found no foreign material in the mix. This cigarette is quite strong, too strong in fact, for our personal taste. And there was a definite sharpness to the smoke, leaving a sensation in the back of the throat like one is coming down with a sore throat. Perhaps it was intended for beer drinkers, because after each draw, we automatically reached for one to cool down the throat. The draw was a bit harder than most, which makes sense considering the minimal compression resulting from tamping.

The reviewer was pretty pleased with this one, saying it has a good, solid flavor, with no unnecessary additives.

The reviewer is not normally a menthol smoker. He thought the draw and burn rate were just right. The flavor, however, had way too much menthol for his liking, about an 8 on a scale to 10. In fact, he couldn't remember the last time he'd tasted such a strong menthol. And, unfortunately for him, the flavor stayed with him for a long time after he'd finished the smoke. He said anyone who's after a very serious menthol flavor at a very reasonable price might want to light one of these up.

Made in the U.S.A. by a small independent, the reviews are calling the Tucsons a truly great tasting, high quality smoke!

Tucson 100 Full Flavor:
Our "tamp down" test yielded about 1/8 inch compression. Renegade Tobacco Co., Winston-Salem, NC appears to be a truly independent maker. Also, we're not aware of any other brands they might be making. We can say, however, that their effort with the Tucson brand is very, very good. The tobacco in the cigarette is medium to dark in color, and is nearly all long-cut ribbons. We found no stem chunks or any foreign material mixed in.

All in all, we are really enthusiastic about Tucson. It has been a while since we've tried a new brand that we liked as much. It is not yet being carried by many of the online dealers, and your chances of finding it in your local supermarket are still pretty close to zip. But, if you're looking for something that costs about half (or less) of your current premium brand-and tastes and smokes every bit as good-you should make the effort to try this one. A definite " thumbs up." (We tried the Menthol Light, too. It's just as good.)"

Smokers' Reviews of Tucsons:

"Fantastic! Everything about this brand screams 'Premium'. Taste is top-notch... very much like the Viceroy brand I am accustomed to smoking or Marlboro/Camel/Winston types that I buy when I'm forced to shell out for them. The Tucson FF is very smooth... a little lighter than some other FF, but with a good draw and excellent flavor."

Our friend Al says:
"Excellent cigarette! I was impressed and found the Full Flavors to have a nice smooth taste to them."

"I think Tucson is great! Have been smoking Marlboro Menthol light for years...but no more. "

"I recently purchased 2 cartons of Tucson FF 100s menthol and was extremely pleased. I have smoked Newports for over 20 years, and I find the Tucsons to be just as good. I tried Broncos, and they are pretty good, but no comparison to the Tucsons."

Smokers' Reviews:

In the past few weeks I've been trying different brands of value smokes trying to find one that gave me the full flavor and strong smoke of my regular brand Kool FF Mentol Kings. Today I tried Wave FF Mentol Kings. They were good...strong enough to statisfy my needs in a smoke, but the only problem I had with them was the filter. I hate it when cigarette manufacturers add that quarter inch of paper just after the filter so they can print their name. It gives you that much less smoke, and to me anything that gives you less smoke in the cigarette is a waste. I feel like I'm being cheated out of 1 or 2 smokes per pack.

I used to smoke Marlboro menthol until the price skyrocketed,so now I'm trying some of the cheaper ones. Waves are pretty good--I got the menthol 100s--but still not quite in the class as Marlboros. They're not quite as smooth and mellow, but still a pretty good smoke. When you factor in the price, they start tasting even better! The only real complaint I have about them is the very odd orange filter. I know it's supposed to look like cork, but it just looks weird! Definitely worth a try, and a brand I'll buy again.

Tried the Menthol light, and it's a pretty good smoke - although I don't care for the cork-colored filter. The menthol is a little on the strong side...kind of like a Kool. The ultra-light might be better for me.

Smokers' Reviews:

I'm usually a Marlboro Lights smoker but since the price went up I've been looking for another brand. I ordered a carton of YOURS cigarettes, and after I smoked the first one I thought it wasn't bad. After the second and third cigarette, however, they got this really strong pungent taste. I'm sure it's the chocalate they add to them. What's up with adding candy to the cigarette? I much prefer Sonomas over this brand any day.

I taste-tested Yours against Checkers, Seneca Cayuga, Market and Exact and I thought Yours was the best. I used to smoke Basic, but I immediately liked the Yours better, and I'm saving about $40.00 a month now.

Yukon FF Box -
The Tobacco Holdings company, based in Miami, Florida, has authorized the manufacture of the Yukon brand in Uruguay. (Among other brands it distributes are the Bridgeport and Calon brands.) The Yukon full flavor king is 3 1/4 inches (83 mm) in length, with a white 3/4 inch (20 mm) filter. The tobacco mix in the cigarette appears to be a fairly standard combination of light, medium and dark leaf, cut in slightly more coarse ribbons and flakes than we usually see. We were able to compress the tobacco about 1/16 of an inch by tamping it, and we found no foreign material in the tube we dissected. The draw is easy; the cigarette burns pretty quickly. We found the tobacco flavor to be about right for an "American blend" of tobacco, with no unpleasant harshness or aftertaste. At the low price for these smokes, we would highly recommend any full flavor smoker to give it a try.
