CLOVE CIGARETTES

The origin of kretek cigarettes can be traced to the late 19th century. The creator of kretek was Haji Jamhari, a native of the town of Kudus in Indonesia's Central Java region. Suffering from chest pains, Jamhari attempted to reduce the pain by rubbing clove oil on his chest. Jamhari sought a means of achieving a deeper relief and smoked his hand-rolled cigarettes after adding dried clove buds and rubber tree sap. According to the story, his asthma and chest pains vanished immediately. Word of Jamhari’s product spread rapidly among his neighbors, and the product soon became available in pharmacies as rokok cengkeh – clove cigarettes. First marketed as a medicinal product, kreteks became widely popular.

In those years, the locals used to hand-roll kreteks to sell on order without any specific brand, packing, or limits on ingredients used in production. A resident of Kudus named Nitisemito had the idea of starting serial production and selling kreteks under a proprietary brand name. Unlike other manufacturers, Nitisemito, who first created the Bal Tiga brand in 1906, enjoyed great success by implementing unprecedented marketing techniques, such as using embossed packs or offering free-of-charge promotional materials. Commercial manufacture did not start in earnest until the 1930s.[6]

Kreteks from the 1910s, containing resin, nutmeg, cumin, clove, and tobacco wrapped in banana leaves.

Furthermore, he also developed a means of production system called the abon system and which offered opportunities for other entrepreneurs without enough capital. In this system, a person called as "abon" assumes the job of delivering finished products to the company which pays the price of piecework done whereas the company is liable to supply the necessary production materials to the "abons". However, most manufacturers have since opted to have their workers working under the roof of their own factories, to maintain quality standards. Nowadays, only a few kretek manufacturers make use of the abon system.

During the period from 1960 until 1970, kreteks became a national symbol against "white cigarettes". In mid 1980’s, the number of machine-produced cigarettes exceeded that of hand-rolled ones. One of the largest income sources of Indonesia, the kretek industry comprises 500 large and small manufacturers employing a total of around 10 million people.[7]

Since 2009, kreteks are not legal for sale in the United States. However a variation of the kretek is being sold: "cigars" that are similar in size and shape to the original kreteks, also with a filter and the original tobacco/clove blend, but in a tobacco-based paper

DJARUM BLACK

Djarum is a very well known world-wide brand, and you can find them in many different styles and sizes. This one caught our eye because of it's distinctive black box. Turns out, the cigarettes themselves are black, too, so if you're trying for a gunfighter image, this might be the smoke for you. The cigarette is heavily flavored with clove...you can even taste it on the paper before you light up. We found the aroma and taste quite pleasant, although a little much for smoking steadily, day in and day out. Rather like an after-dinner liquor...you probably wouldn't want it as a constant diet, but for a once-in-a-while change, it's rather good. The tobacco is mostly dark leaf...some of the shreds were nearly black. It is packed very tightly. In fact, we could not compress it at all by tamping. (The first time we've run into that.) It is slightly longer than king size, but also slightly more slender. Be careful when you light up...the combination of the clove and slightly stronger tobacco flavor can give you a bit of a coughing reaction, but if you adjust your inhaling accordingly you might like it. The combination of tightly packed tobacco and smaller drags make this one very slow burning. Make sure you've got a few minutes if you plan to finish it.

Absolutely adore Djarum Blacks. The original, that is available in the UK, not the cigarillo kind in the US. The only problem is that I can’t smoke them standing up they give me such a hit. Taste amazing, they are slimmer and more tightly packed than most cigs. They’re ‘petite’. But they last a little bit longer than most cigs because they burn longer. They have a pleasant crackle from the cloves when smoking, and a sweet taste on the filter. A strong, distinctive flavour that hits the spot. Many people are put off by the price, but you can’t chainsmoke these all day. They’re just too intense, too strong. So they tend to last, and one pack will go a long way, if you’re smoking something milder in between. My favorites by far.
