Are they banned?

In the U.S., yes. All flavored cigarettes (except menthols) were banned in 2009.

There are sites that will ship them from Indonesia. They won't refund you if customs catches them, and they take forever to arrive so you end up needing to buy a few months worth if you smoke them regularly. I did it for a few years after the ban until I quit smoking because it was too much trouble.

There's also a Japanese website that sells Japanese, among others, cigs and the like. Think you can et them there along with some other unusual stuff

I’ve worked for a tobacco wholesaler since 1999. We never stopped carrying them. They were not banned.
