I've smoked Silk Cut cigarettes for a few months now and have found they're helping me to really cut down. I'd like to give up really but just haven't got the willpower at the moment. A few years ago I'd have laughed at anyone who smoked Silk Cut because they're so weak but these days I find they're about as hard as my lungs are willing to accept. You can get Silk Cut in three different strengths. Purple are the strongest with about 5mg of tar in them and 0.5mg of nicotine. A "normal" full strength cigarette has around 10mg of tar and 1mg of nicotine in it. Then there are the blue ones which are my favourites as they're 3mg of tar and ...  Read the complete review

Silk Cut are widely acknowledged as the wimp's cigarette, perceived as too mild to count as actual smoking (although obviously doctors disagree considerably). I have been smoking them for around 4-5 years. Before that I smoked Benson and Hedges (that's right, I was hardcore, me) but then I developed a chest infection and went down to Silk Cut - god forbid I should go without - for the duration of the infection and never went back to B&H. I find both Benson and Silk Cut have a smooth taste, unlike Marlboro which I always find rather gritty; it feels like little bits are catching on the back of your throat, whereas with Silk Cut it's a smoother feel as it's going ..  Read the complete review

I have been a smoker for more years than is good for me, and for more years than I care to admit to. I have smoked brands because they are the cheapest, for snob value, because the brand is kewl, or simply because it is the only brand I can lay my hands on at the time. Now I smoke Silk Cut, and have done for the past few years. Why Silk Cut? Well, the theory is that they are one of the least damaging cigarettes you can smoke. The lighter versions are like smoking fresh air; this pack does at least give you some sense of having had a cigarette. But I know in my heart of hearts this is a load of tripe. For a start, because of the holes around ...  Read the complete review

I have been a smoker for several years now, and have pretty much tried every brand of cigarrettes that there is in the UK market. After being a regular smoker of Marlboro, I had the urge to cut down on my smoking and decided to give Silk Cut a go, as they are not that strong, therefore reducing the amount of tobacco that I was inhaling. Ever since trying Silk Cut, I have sticked with this brand, as they taste just as good as any other cigarrette without the feeling of guilt and that your lungs were about to explode at any minute. I must also say that these cigarrettes have helped me reduce the amount that I smoke, and therefore saving more ...  Read the complete review

Smoking Silk Cut can be surprisingly economical, although they are one of the premium priced brands. I smoked Silk Cut for most of my smoking life, after an initail skirmish with Marlboro (the pack looked cool, but I could never talk after a night out). Economical? Why?? Quite simply put: get your fags out and offer them round, and most smokers will turn their noses up in disgust rather than take one. The few people who took me up on my offer (apart from my fellow girlies who also smoked the purple poison) ripped the filter off, explaining that: "Last time I tried to take a drag on one of these I nearly gave meself a ...  Read the complete review
