By now you've probably heard that Djarum blacks have been "banned" since mid 2009, along with all other flavored cigarettes.  Apparently, Uncle Sam thinks flavored treats like Djarum blacks encourage kids to smoke.  At least that's the idea drawing attention as our personal freedoms are nickle and dimed to death, psh, banning Djarum blacks from the marketplace, what the hell were they thinking?  Probably protectionism, trade embargoes and getting paid off by big tobacco, but why split hairs?  The point is, no more Djarum Blacks :(

You may still be able to buy Djarum blacks online from overseas suppliers, we don't know, but they probably wont be available at your local liquor store anymore. 

And so the anti-smoking trend continues... anti-smoking rhetoric paints the habit as a wholly destructive activity; a vice of the powerless addict wantonly destroying their health and the health of those around them, at least you would think so by the vendetta backed by Capital Hill's regulations.  Smoking is bad for ones health, we can't deny that, but then again, many things are.  What about those of us whom aren't addicts, those that simply enjoy a tasty Djarum Black clove cigarette on occasion?  Thankfully, technology has a solution to our woes.

If you're like me, you've long been a fan of the delicious and satisfying flavor of Djarum Blacks, especially after you eat ;P.  But with the increasing inconveniences and negativity associated with smoking, and now the subsequent banning of Djarum Blacks along with all other flavored cigarettes, maybe it's time to switch to a habit that's just as satisfying, healthier, and thus far, "above the law?"

Yes, don't give up on the pleasure of Djarum Blacks just yet.

Vapor cigarettes are gaining healthy momentum among smokers.  Now, clove lovers, I'm talking specifically to you.  The fantastically authentic flavor of a Djarum Black clove cigarette is now available in a smokeless vapor cigarette.

Given the myriad benefits of bypassing the cancer-causing byproducts of tobacco smoke, and the sheer luxury of legally being able to smoke whenever and wherever you like, why not give smokeless Djarum Blacks a try?  Heck, the switch will even save you money; a boon to your health and wallet.


A little background on DJARUM BLACKS:

Djarum Blacks are one of the most popular types of kreteks (Indonesian cigarettes) in the world.  Composed of a mixture of clove (40%) and tobacco (60%), the Djarum Blacks also has a filter soaked in a "spice sauce," giving it a distinct and sweet flavor kick with hints of cinnamon, cardamon and clove.

Djarum Black is a sub brand of the Indonesian clove cigarette manufacturer, Djarum, which was founded in 1951 by Oei Wie Gwan.  Gwan was a Chinese businessman whom acquired the original, ailing Djarum company, turning it around from the brink of insolvency.  His efforts proved successful right up to his death and ultimate succession by his sons in 1963.  By 1970 Djarum was experimenting with new blends of Kretek and in 1972 they started exporting.  By 1980 Djarum had developed its first machine-made kretek which became its most popular brand, the Djarum Super.  That is until Djarum Blacks exploded onto the scene, gobbling up the fancy of kretek lovers all over the globe.  But now, sadly, Djarum Super and Djarum Blacks are both, technically, defunct in the US. 

As of September 22nd 2009, Djarum Blacks are no longer available for sale in the US. The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama gives the FDA increased authority to regulate the tobacco industry, including the banning of flavored cigarettes.  Harrumph.  But don't despair, we've presented you with an excellent alternative, you won't be disappointed with the new smokeless Djarum Blacks.
