Taming Clove Tar Without Sacrificing the Spice
When clove tobacco burns, it releases eugenol, the compound responsible for the signature numbing and sweet taste of a Kretek. Unfortunately, it also produces a much heavier particulate phase than light western cigarettes.
Smokesafer lab-tested filtration is designed to intercept a portion of this heavy material. The physical condensation mesh cools the hot oil vapors, causing them to solidify inside the cartridge chamber instead of condensing at the mouthpiece. You retain the aromatic clove impact with a smoother draw.
