Urban Dictionary

A type of cigarette with a sweet smelling smoke. Cloves are generally imported from indonesia, the two most prevalant brands being Djarum and Sapoerna. They typically are a harsher smoke then most normal cigarettes, being that they don't contain chemicals that cause them to be "smoother." Cloves are a mix of approx. 60% clove leaf and 40% tobacco. Although many people claim, most research has indicated that cloves are no more harmful then normal cigarettes (the misconception comes from the harsh smoke) and they typically contain fewer chemicals like those found in normal cigarettes (arsenic, cyanide, formaldihyde). Cloves also contain a chemical eugenol that mildly numbs the mouth. They are also known as kretek Urban Dictionary

A common name for the Djarum brand of kretek cigarettes. The name clove comes from the clove content in the cigarette.

The smoke they give off is pleasant smelling and also contains something that numbs the smokers mouth/throat after smoking one. Also called Blacks, because of the black paper they are wrapped in and the larger bold faced lettering on the package reads: BLACK They are on the expensive side (only draw back). Comes in packs of 20. Djarum has many different varieties including vanilla, super, supersmooths and cherry (plus more) Another nick name is Christmas, because the smell of the smoke is often related to the Christmas season.
