Greetings from the Commander. It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to Squadron Officer College (SOC). Located at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, SOC is the Air Force's center for company grade officer professional development.
Clove Cigarette. A cigarette made of tobacco leaves, cloves, and spices prepared from the dried flowers of a tropical tree, Eugenia aromatica; CCs are produced in Indonesia, where they are the preferred (smoked by 90% of smokers) smoking product; 30â40% is shredded clove buds, while the rest is tobacco.
In manufacturing, clove is used in toothpaste, soaps, cosmetics, perfumes, and cigarettes. Clove cigarettes, also called kreteks, generally contain 60% to 80% tobacco and 20% to 40% ground clove. Eugenol, one of the chemicals in clove, acts like menthol to reduce the harshness of tobacco smoke.
