I don’t smoke anymore. Haven’t smoked for more than 10 years. Oh, on very rare occasions I’ll have a cigar (had one last August) but no cigarettes. Anyway, my question involves a brand of cigs called “Bright”. They were made in the early-mid 1980’s (83, 84??). They were not menthol, they were mint. It was like smoking a roll of Life Savers. Very refreshing for a smoke. They stopped making them. But I’ve always wondered if any other brand has a mint (Not menthol) flavor. I’m just curious, I don’t intend on starting up again.

> **Nat Sherman Hint o Mint** - Artificial flavorings are not the way to create a mint cigarette. We simply put a compartment of natural mint crystals in the filter so that their cool flavor blends with your smoke with no bitter after taste.
