Goths love clove cigarettes. Is it because many cloves are black? Is it because they taste better? Is it because they are worse for your health than regular cigarettes, therefore beckoning Death at an accelerated rate? No one knows.
If you wish to befriend a Goth, strike up a conversation with, “Would you like a clove?” The goth’s eyes will light up. You may not be able to see the eyes under the shaggy bangs and eyeliner, but take my word for it. Cloves take longer to smoke than regular cigarettes, so you must have some additional conversation material prepared. Ask about the goth’s cat.

Ah, but you really should have gone with a photo of the Djarums in the black box. What goth in his or her right mind would go about less than fully coordinated?
Gotta free picture of one? I was kinda surprised to find any creative commons hits for clove cigarettes at all!
I should just take a picture of the package on my table! But no, GIS is about the extent of the help I could offer. Enjoying the blog, btw.
Thanks! I’m still getting things started and figuring out WordPress. How did you find it?
Now we need to feature those damn E-Cigs.
must get a pic of Sable using his.. for kicks
Yeah seriously. I think the picture would look exactly the same but with a blue glowing tip.
Hey, I like that replacement photo!
Found your blog through Google — News — Goths — Blogs (you’re a few pages in, but it’s always worth it to keep sifting through the dross until you find the good sites, I think).
You know, e-cigs would probably insist upon a whole entry to themselves : ) pushy little things!
Cool, welcome.
I was wondering if the e-cigs was a new Utah phenomenon due to the smoking ban in bars, or if it’s just a new techno fad right now. I hadn’t seen the e-cigs anywhere in California before, and they’ve been smoke free indoors for a long time now.
what will goths do now that cloves will be banned in the US?
purcahse themfrom abroad.
What we “goths” will do is simply order them over the web and import. What a shame.. even for an occasional clove smoker with a drink like myself, to see yet another civil liberty denied!
I hope that will be an option. E-cig doesn’t offer a clove flavour yet, the bastards ; ) I’m almost ready to grow my own tobacco and add clove oil, just out of defiance. Should be easy to find black rolling papers to order.
Ha, I’m feeling unusually punkrawk at the moment.

i never buy djarum black online at http://www.indonesia-cigarettes.com
and I think they are not 100% banned because there are no problems with customs clearance
