AUBURN edition

Auburn is roasted, nutty tobacco with nothing cooling in it. One of the fuller sticks in the Indonesian range and the closest thing here to a traditional cigarette taste for someone who has just switched.

The nutty character

Toasted almond rather than sweet nut, sitting over a roast that is heavier than the Japanese equivalents. The Indonesian base adds body underneath, which is why Auburn feels substantial in a way that a similarly described Japanese stick would not.

No capsule, no fruit, no menthol. What you draw on the first puff is what you get on the fourteenth.

Auburn or Warm Regular?

Warm Regular from Japan is the direct comparison, and it is noticeably lighter. Same nutty idea, less body behind it. Auburn is what you want if Warm Regular felt thin.

For something darker without the nuttiness, Sienna goes woody instead. The region guide covers why Indonesian sticks run fuller across the board.

Questions about this variant

Is Auburn good for someone switching from cigarettes?

It is one of the better choices in this range for that. Full-bodied, no menthol, no fruit, and closer to a conventional tobacco taste than most of the Indonesian variants.

Does Auburn taste sweet?

Not really. Nutty and roasted rather than sweet, though the Indonesian base carries slightly more natural sweetness than a Japanese stick would.
