Marlboro's black menthol 'One' cigarette in Japan


The Marlboro "One" was on every vending machine that I saw in Japan

Whenever I travel internationally, I look at how cigarettes are advertised. On a recent trip to Japan, the Marlboro "One" menthol cigarette was featured on every vending machine that I came across during my brief stay. Cigarettes were about $3.00 a pack and the minimum age to buy was 20. A special card was needed to purchase out of a vending machine to prevent underage purchases.

One of the commercials that I viewed on the television was for "Cafe Tobacco," a smoking haven. The owner said that patrons are only in the cafe for 20 minutes and therefore, could not become addicted to cigarettes.

    Definitely worth a try...I switched from Marl Green to Marl Black. Once you've tasted the flavor...other brands will taste yucky. One good side is that if the store doesn't have the black...you won't smoke and might even quit.

    I was just in Thailand, and I tried the Marlboro Black. I must say that it is the best cigarette I have ever smoked. I felt as if I were smoking a mint. It left my throat and mouth cool, and minty tasting. This cigarette should be sold in the states.

    I agree. This range of Marlboro isn't available in my country. So whenever I go across the border i.e. Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. This baby is the first thing I look for. Even the Marlboro Ice Fresh range scores a little less. Nothing beats Marlboro Black!
