I'm curious if anyone has bought the online smokes which advertise American brand names (Marlboro, etc..) but are 'made' somewhere else? I remember during a trip in the Ukraine and Turkey a few years back the European versions of these were _not_ up to snuff with the American made ones. The tobacco was much more loosely packed and tasted different as well. Tapping down a 100 would sometimes result in the tobacco settling down almost a full inch.

I have tried the light blue pack of camels, which are called "export quality". They weren't bad at all. I am not sure if this is the same thing, however.

I've bought Marlboros in Germany. The only difference I noticed is that they were half the price.

You might try yessmokes.com. I think they are in Switzerland. I am very satisfied with quality and delivery (6 days).

I smoke Benson and Hedges Menthol 100's and have only purchased them out of the country while in Honduras. Definitely a different, inferior quality to them......
