Basic 100's Vs. Pall Mall 100's

After the federal cigarette tax increase of April 1^st, 2009 many people can no longer afford their regular brand of cigarettes and are searching for a more affordable option. I have tried a few different brands of cigarettes and in this review I will focus on 2 different brands and flavors, Pall Mall Blue 100's and Basic Full flavor 100's in an effort to help smokers save money and purchase a good quality of cigarettes for their smoking pleasures.

I bought Basic 100's because they were about a dollar cheaper than my normal brand. I feel like I got really ripped off on this purchase. Not only were the cigarettes almost 6 dollars per pack, but also they tasted really bad. I can smoke just about anything, and these cigarettes were so bad it took me two days to finish the pack! I prefer any brand to Basic 100 full flavor cigarettes. I have heard so many people say they are not that bad, but in my opinion they are terrible and if basics were the only brand I could ever have again I would quit smoking fast.

I tried Pall Mall blues, or light 100's last week. As I stood in line considering what cheap brand to get, I heard the man in front of me in line purchase Pall Mall's for a great price of $3.80, compared to $6 a pack for Basics that sounded pretty good to me. I did not expect Pall Malls to be as great tasting and long lasting as they are. I have been really impressed with the Pall Mall Blue Light 100 cigarettes. They are literally about half the price of Basics, Camels and Marlboro's and they have a nice flavor and they burn for a very long time.

Times are tough for everyone, and smokers are especially finding it harder to feed their addiction for nicotine. If you are considering switching to a cheaper brand of cigarettes but are concerned about a nasty aftertaste or a poor quality of cigarette, try out the Pall Mall line of cigarettes. They have many styles and strengths of cigarettes at a really great price. I will continue to purchase cigarettes from the Pall Mall family as long as I am a smoker. I know the prices for cigarettes will never decrease, so I am glad to have found an affordable alternative. I would recommend the Pall Mall brand of cigarettes to any smoker.
