Djarum Vanilla is an Indonesian brand of kretek (clove) cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by Djarum.

History

It is made with a blend natural Indonesian tobacco and cloves, the filter is coated in vanilla which gives the characteristic vanilla taste on the lips. The cigarette features a clove and vanilla flavor both in scent and taste. In Europe it is marketed and sold in a 20 cigarette pack and in South Africa it is sold in a small (5 cigarette wide 2 cigarette deep) pack and is typically sold alongside Djarum Black, Djarum Menthol and Djarum Cherry. It was first introduced to the US market in 2003, together with Djarum Menthol and Djarum Cherry. When launched, Djarum Vanilla was the first vanilla-flavored kretek in the world.[1]

The Europe and South African marketed pack contains 10 mg tar, and 1 mg nicotine as per government agreed method.

A law passed in the United States in 2009 has made it illegal for tobacco shops and stores to carry cigarettes that contain characteristic flavors other than menthol. The law affects the Djarum Vanilla cigarette brand as well as Djarum Black, and has made it unavailable for purchase within the United States.[2][3][4]
