All flavored cigarettes except menthol were banned. This included clove.

I never smoked clove cigarettes, but I had some friends who did, and I seem to recall these always being clove, but I could be mistaken. Regardless, clove cigarettes were banned 2 years ago.

When I saw them in his shop, I asked Mark (Norcal_Mark) about how he could still be selling them so long after the ban, and his response was that they changed a few things a little bit to get around the law, the big one being that they went from a paper wrapper to a tobacco wrapper, which caused them to now be defined as small cigars rather than as cigarettes.

This is correct. The whole line is still available, including cherry and vanilla but with the homogenized tobacco wrapper. They also now come in packs of 12 instead of 20 and the price went up.

Kretek will not import the original cigarettes under any circumstances.
