Sobranie Russians are the grown up sister of Sobranie Cocktails: slim, smooth cigarettes with matt black paper and shiny gold filters. They are not the bright party cigarettes of their brasher, prettier relation, but they cast a delicious tinge of seventies glamour in the mind of their smoker conjuring images of black satin sheets, shag pile carpets and gold medallions.

I can't remember what they taste like, but they look fabulous.
