Bengaluru: It’s not just gold but international clove-flavoured cigarettes which are being smuggled in bulk to India to cater to the growing number of smokers back home, who prefer to light up a flavoured puff at whatever price.
And the brand certainly matters. The Customs Department, Bengaluru, on January 30 seized a huge consignment of ‘Esse Lights’ – an international brand of clove flavoured cigarettes (Kretek) from South Korea worth around Rs 1.37 crore from 21 passengers at the Kempegowda International Airport.
