The most popular line of Djarums (internationally, at least), Djarum Black, is sold in black packaging. Each cigarette is rolled in black paper. They are sold in flat, skinny packs of twenty cigarettes, rows of ten across and two deep (as are nearly all other internationally sold Djarum products). The package bears an embossed Djarum logo, and a stylized red "A" in the word "Black". Blacks are a medium potency cigarette, comparable with "Medium" flavour cigarettes of many other common brands like Marlboro, though their tastes are dissimilar, attributable to the Asian "srintil" versus American tobacco and the addition of cloves. By weight, cloves make up about 40% of the cigarette, the remaining 60% being tobacco. The filter of Blacks are coated in a spiced "sauce", flavoured with spices native to the region; mainly the taste is of clove, cardamom, and cinnamon; the "sauce" is also rather sweet. Blacks are packed much tighter than most American brands of cigarettes, and tend to be hard to draw from for the first few drags. They also have a tendency to go out if not drawn from regularly, an effect that is exaggerated if the user packs the cigarettes prior to use. An additional effect of tight packing is the propensity for Blacks to burn 1/4-1/3 longer than more common brands, though this is of course dependent on the individual smoker as well.

A variant of Djarum Blacks can also be purchased online and shipped directly from Indonesia, cased in packs of 12 or 16 as opposed to the traditional European standard of 20 cigarettes per pack. These Blacks are manufactured in Indonesia with a fatter, looser wrapping and milder taste than the more popular 20 cigarette International packs, which are manufactured outside of Indonesia and sold throughout America and Western Europe... For other uses, see Europe (disambiguation). ...


Special

Sold in white and maroon packs, Djarum Specials or "Reds", (so-called in the US for the cigarette's distinctive maroon paper), is another kretek brand produced by Djarum. They are equivalent to medium-strength filtered cigarettes with the obvious exception of containing cloves. They differ greatly from Blacks, being much sweeter and containing less clove. Additionally, Specials tend to be lighter and produce smoke that is not nearly as thick as Blacks. The flavouring sauce put on the filter portion of the cigarettes is notably sweeter, but lacks some of the complexity of flavour in Djarum's other brands. It is overall a much more traditional cigarette; the flavour of tobacco is stronger than that of the cloves and flavouring sauce.

Super

Another unique brand of kreteks is distributed under the name of "Djarum Super" within the western market that differs significantly from the Djarum Special. It's the best-selling Djarum line in Indonesia. Sold in black and red packages with embossed yellow text, the imported version of Djarum Supers are rolled in what appears to be standard white cigarette paper, however it retains the flavouring sauce used in other brands. The filter is slightly longer and its design is characterized by a cloudy pastel yellow and grey. These kreteks contain significantly less tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide (levels comparable to regular cigarettes) than the other commercially popular Djarum brands in the west.[citation needed] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Others

Djarum also offers a variety of other cigarettes: unfiltered premium-priced Original, Menthol, Lights varieties, and a flavored line of cigarettes in Cherry and Vanilla. Djarum also markets the less available brands, such as Djarum Splash, all of which are kreteks. None of these brands are marketed in Indonesia.
