Greetings,
I had never smoked and thought I would finally try a clove cigarette after seeing a reference to them on a forum. So I called around and found a smoke shop in Carson, Ca that carried Djarums. I bought a pack of Djarum Blacks, and really liked them. I did not cough when I had my first one, and really found them soothing as I enjoyed the taste, smell and sound of the crackling as it burned. So I went back and bought a pack of Bali Hai and a pack of Vanilla Dreams. Both of these tasted more of tobacco than the Blacks, so I decided I preferred the Djarum Blacks. These were all the "cigar" versions as required by the stupid US law.
So I decided to order some from Indonesia. After spending a lot of time searching the internet, doing research, and reading all the posts on this journal, I decided to order from cassen at Inacigar.com. I saw no one making any bad posts about his website and service. So I ordered two cartons of Djarum Blacks and one carton of Gudang Garam Professionals, because they were on sale for a great price. Each carton was $15, for a total of $45. In addition, shipping, handling, and paypal fee was an additional $50 for a total of $95 for all three cartons. I did not want to use the Western Union or MoneyGram alternative which the other websites required, so this was ideal. This works out to be about $3 per pack, about half the price of the US versions. And the Gudang Garams would not be available in any form, as they do not produce a "cigar" alternate version.
Inacigar.com was perfect. They shipped the correct cartons and they arrived from Jakarta to Los Angeles, Ca in exactly 7 days, one of which was the memorial day holiday. Very impressive and I highly recommend them.
I just tried one of the GG Professionals, and I loved it. It had a very strong clove taste, and did not taste excessively of tobacco. I now know that I like strong clove flavors, not milds or menthols, though I haven't tried these alternatives.
Which brands and products would you recommend based on this preference?
Thanks to all, and here is a pic of the items mentioned above, if this link works:

Today is not Veteran's Day. Platitudes about "thank the troops" do not do today justice. Today is a day to distinctly honor those who have given the last full measure of devotion.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow - this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
