Here's the crap I use in China:



Great Wall "Cigars"
They the same size as normal cigarettes but come with a filter tip that's nice to bite on for hand's free use. They taste like really strong gas station cigarillos (like Swisher, etc.,) but don't seem to be filled with shredded cigarette tobacco. Unlike cheap gas station cigars, if you try to inhale one of these you will be gagging and coughing, much like a real cigar. Like everything else in China, they do an OK job simulating the intended product, and I smoke one of these once or twice per week.
$4 USD for 10 pieces.
Flavor: 5/10
Lingering Stink: 5/10
Simulation of actual cigar by taste and smoke thickness: 3/10

Esse Super Slim Menthols
These are "girl cigarettes," specifically to target the drunk club-goer girls, factory women, and college girls that think they are cool. They do this by being tiny and minty, since menthol are often seen as for women though Marlboro menthols are now really hip with the rich young males.
Being Super Slims, you can see how skinny they are compared to the normal-sized Great Walls. You can smoke one of these in a one or two minutes, since they are for women who want to pretend they aren't damaging their skin and lungs by having the habit of smoking.
I don't like cigarettes. I like menthol. I wish there were menthol cigars. I like menthol vapes. I half-puff, half-inhale one of these once a week and it feels "cool" and minty.
$2 USD for 20 pieces.
Flavor: 6/10
Lingering Stink: 9/10 (these smell especially atrocious indoors)
Stare factor from locals at a foreign male smoking girly cigarettes: 10/10
