Clove cigs were the gateway to tobacco smoking for me at age 17. Back in the day I tried them all, and really liked a couple of brands in particular for their strong, sweet taste. Sampoerna, Djarum special unfiltered (in the tin), and Krakatoa were my favorites. When I started going to tobacco shops to buy them I became more curious about pipe tobacco and RYO and started experimenting with them. In college it was cloves and Drum, mostly, and sometimes Gitanes. When I moved to Mexico and couldn't find kreteks I would sometimes chop up cloves and add them to my RYO cigs.
Because sometimes the body just wants canned fish. 🦪

I had a Djarum cigarillo this morning with a cup of Newmans coffee.

I believe they soak the tobacco in clove oil. I think it is low-grade Indian or Indonesian tobacco, not Virginia or St. James Parish perique. I think they started soaking (topping) the cigarette tobacco in clove oil to cover the bad taste of the inferior tobacco. The way people in Europe liked to spike their spoiled hams with cloves to cover the off taste of their off ham.
