JAKARTADAILY.ID – Indonesian actress, model, and singer Aura Kasih uploaded a picture and video of her and her friend having dinner on Instagram, but commenters were more amused by the voluptuous model's choice of cigarette brand.
In the short video posted on August 5, 2022, Aura and her friend can be seen toasting and enjoying what looks to be a fancy dinner, but it did not take long for commenters to spot the Gudang Garam International cigarette pack on the table.
Gudang Garam International is a heavy kretek cigarette most predominantly enjoyed by older, working-class men in Indonesia.
Needless to say, people were amused that a young and beautiful actress would be smoking such a heavy brand of cigarettes. The video soon gained traction, especially after gossip account @undercover.id reposted the video.

"It's Garpit, wow," said a netizen commenting on the picture, referring to one of the most popular cigarette brands in Indonesia 'Gudang Garam International' (commonly abbreviated as “Filter” or "Garpit").
"She also likes Garpit, like Ariel Tatum," another Instagram user commented.
Other Garpit or Filter enjoyers expressed their pride, as stereotypically Gudang Garam International is known to be the brand of choice for laborers such as construction workers.
