Reply Report Abuse Judge it! #1 Jan 12, 2007 Just curious if anyone who smokes Marlboro cigarettes has noticed that they do not stay lit. Half way through a cigarette it will literally burn itself out. I have noticed this change in the last couple of months and am beginning to wonder if there has been a chemical change to the cigarettes to cause this. I am not the only one who has noticed this and I am curious as to how widespread this is and also if this is experienced lately with any other brands.
Any info would be great.

California as of Jan 2007 requires self extinguishing
cigarettes. I believe about 15 other states do now or have them on the law books.
It’s to prevent deaths from unattended cigs.
I found it adds kinda a funny sulphur soapy taste.
I just ordered from a state that has the old type. UGH

Reply Report Abuse Judge it! #4 Feb 4, 2007 Yeah, i noticed they taste much different now too. Actually, i think its makes me feel sick too(stomach nausia). Good reason to quit now. Who knows what kind of shit they put in them to make them stop burning. But whatever it is, i can sure taste it, and it sure does make me feel real strange. bunsmac

The new formula not only tastes funny, but it leaves my mouth and throat all nasty feeling (cotton mouth immediately after smoking). This is one quick way to make a non smoker out of me, as I feel like I am having an allergic reaction everytime I like up. Also they are giving me a headache. Who do we complain too about this??? bunsmac

I live in California and I smoke Saratoga and am having the same problem. Then a couple of my friends who smoke other brands noticed the same I am have to pay over forty dollars a carton for ciggretts that won’t stay lit and leave a bad taste in my mouth will force me to buy from another State who didn’t pass this stupid law. I guess after doing all the scare tactics imaginable now they have resorted to this! bunsmac

Reply Report Abuse Judge it! #12 Feb 16, 2007 Another Marlboro smoker here who noticed all the above I heard it was a Ca law to have the cigs extinquish to prevent more fires, burns, and other safety reasons. They definately taste different. Myself and friends, family who smoke them all have this horrible congested cough after smoking these lately in the last couple of months. I heard it was all cigs made by Phillip Morris. I would and am going to write to Phillip Morris about it and complain. After being a smoker of Marlboro for many years, I bought a “non” Phillip Morris generic brand today. I can’t stand the new defunked Marlboro’s any longer. I’m tired of the fire going out and the chemical taste they have. It makes me wonder what they added to them. I know cigs aren’t safe, but they don’t need to kill us smokers off any faster! Angela

Reply Report Abuse Judge it! #14 Feb 22, 2007 Wel accualy there has been a chemical change in the Marlboro cigarettes. They used to put ammonia in them, but then they got sued for it.

It is nasty chemicals that “keep” them burning. Natural tobac and wrapper will not stay lit, for instance, Shermans, a decent cigar, pipe, etc. samuel messiha

Marlboro red full flavor cigarettes versus american spirit full flavor cigarettes – yahoo voices – voices.yahoo.com
Man smoking e-cigarette must be futuristic bounty hunter
Ever since I was in high school, I have been smoking Marlboro full flavor cigarettes. I count the number of cigarettes that I smoke and try to keep it at approximately twelve per day. The type of package that I usually purchase is the iconic red and white Marlboro Box, both regular size and 100’s.
Recently, a friend of mine gave me a full pack of American Spirit Full Flavor Box cigarettes. He explained that normally, he smokes a lighter style of natural American Spirit cigarettes and bought two packs of the full flavor variety, only to discover that they were too strong for him. He said that after smoking one pack of the American Spirit Full Flavor Box cigarettes, he was ready to return to smoking the lighter variety.
I gratefully accepted this gift from my friend and I smoked these cigarettes over the course of a couple of weeks. In addition to the American Spirit cigarettes, I was also still smoking some Marlboro Full Flavor cigarettes and noticed some similarities and differences between the two products. I realized that the opportunity for a product comparison review was presenting itself. Presented here, in an effort to assist the consumer, is an article which reviews and examines Marlboro Red Full Flavor Box cigarettes and American Spirit Full Flavor Box cigarettes.
Size
The size of Marlboro Red Full Flavor Box cigarettes and American Spirit Full Flavor Box cigarettes is virtually identical. These standard sized cigarettes are also known as King sized cigarettes.
Strength / Flavor
Through the tears, several people have told me that Marlboro Red Full Flavor cigarettes are too strong for them. I’ve been smoking them for so long, that it never occured to me that they were a strong cigarette. After smoking a pack of American Spirit Full Flavor Box cigarettes, I think that they are slightly stronger than the Marlboros cigarettes. While they are at least as strong as the Marlboro Red Full Flavor Box smokes, I found that I much preferred the flavor of the Marlboros.
To me, the natural American Spirit Full Flavor Box cigarettes burned a little hotter than the Marlboros and I did not feel that they satisfied my nicotine urge. Of course, that is only one consumer’s opinion and you might disagree, if you try these cigarettes. There is something about the flaxor of Marlboro Red Full Flavor Box cigarettes that satisfies my nicotine urges like no other brand of cigarettes can do.
Price
With cigarette prices already being sky high, it is hard to call the price of any brand of cigarettes reasonable. In the Hartford, Connecticut area, where I reside, the regular retail price charged for natural American Spirit Full Flavor Box cigarettes is usually a little bit higher than the price charged for Marlboro Red Full Flavor Box cigarettes.
Availability
Marlboro Red Full Flavor Box cigarettes in my estimation, are quite possibly the most well known brand of cigarettes in America. That having been said, these cigarettes are stocked and sold at almost cigarette retailer in the United States. American Spirit Full Flavor Box cigarettes on the other hand, are not nearly as well known as Marlboros and consequently, they are not stocked and sold at nearly as many retailers as are the Marlboro cigarettes.
The best bet for finding a retailer who stocks American Spirit Full Flavor Box cigarettes is to go to the “retailers” section of their web site. Aside from that, these cigarettes can usually be found at tobacco and / or smoke shops, as well as at many convenience stores, pharmacies and supermarkets.
Quality
The quality of both Marlboro Red Full Flavor Box cigarettes and American Spirit Full Flavor Box cigarettes is top rate. Each of these brands of cigarettes is tightly rolled and they each burn evenly. Although I prefer the flavor of the Marlboro cigarettes, they both offer full flavor.
Packaging
Marlboro Red Full Flavor Box cigarettes and American Spirit Full Flavor Box cigarettes are both packaged in cardboard boxes that feature flip top lids. These flip top lids are one of the main reasons that I prefer box cigarette packages over soft packs, the boxes help to prevent the cigarettes from breaking and I think that cigarettes also stay fresh longer in boxes than they do in soft packs.
The red and white color scheme of the Marlboro Red Full Flavor Box cigarettes is a familiar sight to many consumers, whether they be smokers or not. The package of American Spirit Full Flavor Box cigarettes is not familiar to most consumers. The front of the package features an illustration of a Native American man wearing a head dress and it appears that he is smoking a pipe.
Overall Rating
All things considered, Marlboro Red Full Flavor Box cigarettes and American Spirit Full Flavor Box cigarettes are both high quality products. Each of these cigarette varieties offers a pleasant and full bodied flavor that would probably quench most smokers’ nicotine urges. Although I personally prefer the Marlboro’s, I would still recommend both of these brands.
