The tobacco industry has been actively developing for hundreds of years. As a result of this, a lot of different tobacco products have now appeared on the market. In this article we will consider the most common brands of cigarettes. In addition, we will present a couple of interesting facts about the tobacco industry. What are the most expensive cigarettes in the world? Are there cigarettes with unusual and even exotic tastes? You can learn about all this by reading this article.
History of cigarettes
Initially, smoking was a rather fashionable trend, which eventually turned into a habit that killed and crippled millions of people. Fortunately, things are much better now. Smoking cigarettes in youth circles is now not so fashionable. In addition, in recent years, an active promotion of sports and a healthy lifestyle has begun.
With the discovery of tobacco, this plant began to be actively used in chewing. However, tobacco reached its peak of popularity only when people learned to wrap it in paper, leaves or even straw and inhale tobacco smoke directly into their lungs. It happened in the distant 15th century, and it was then that the history of cigarettes began.
Very quickly, cigarettes turned into luxury. In parallel with this, the trend of their use was actively growing. This, in turn, led to the creation of new companies to cigarette production and increased competition. Thanks to what we now have a huge variety of nicotine products. In this article we will describe the most popular brands of cigarettes.
Marlboro
Marlboro is perhaps one of the most popular cigarette brands. Initially, these cigarettes were aimed at a female audience. Their small size was ideally suited for tiny ladies' pens, and the signature red strip on the filter made it possible to hide the trace of lipstick. But since 1947, everything has changed. The brand has switched to a male audience. A well-known arrow appeared on packs, and a cowboy became a symbol of cigarettes. Thanks to a successful advertising campaign, Marlboro was able to get around its competitors and become the No. 1 brand. This title is kept by Marlboro cigarettes to this day.
Now Marlboro cigarettes are available in various variations. Changes can vary from a new pack design to a unique, previously unseen taste. A characteristic feature of cigarettes from "Marlboro" - high-quality tobacco and increased strength. Even the lightest variation of these cigarettes (a line called ClearTaste 4) contains as much as 0.7 milligrams of nicotine.
If we talk about the material side of the issue, then the price of Marlboro cigarettes starts at 100 rubles. Compared to domestic producers, this is quite expensive, but the high quality of the tobacco product fully justifies its cost.
Winston
Winston is another notorious brand. Cigarettes under the Winston brand were first released back in 1954. The tobacco brand got its name from one of the cities in the United States of America. In the US, this brand of cigarettes was a huge success, despite the abundance of competitors. Perhaps the reason for this popularity was that the Winston brand offered a huge range of products. After a successful start, Winston-branded tobacco products quickly migrated to Europe. Nowadays, Winston is one of the most popular cigarette brands. After “Marlboro”, “Winston” is the main contender for the title of “tobacco king”.
Perhaps the main feature that keeps the Winston brand afloat to this day is its unique and secret tobacco recipe.For the manufacture of products, only the thinnest tobacco leaves are used, which are imported from the depths of Nicaragua and Brazil. Then they are very carefully mixed together in order to obtain a soft, piquant and unique taste.
Among other things, Winston cigarettes tend to burn very slowly. Thanks to this, the smoker can enjoy the fabulous and mesmerizing aroma even longer.
In terms of price, Winston is a mid-range cigarette. That is, the price of them varies within 80 rubles.
Captain black
"Captain Black" - cigarettes that entered the world market relatively recently, but have already managed to gain popularity. What caused this success? Everything is very simple. In addition to classic cigarettes under the Captain Black brand, tobacco products with, to say the least, atypical tastes are produced. For example, there is a series of Captain Black cigarettes with the taste of chocolate, cherry, vanilla and even honey.
Unfortunately, it’s rather difficult to find Captain Black brand products in our country. And in order to add exotic to your life, you will have to pay about 100-200 rubles. Expensive? No matter how. "Captain Black" is far from the most expensive cigarettes. Doubt it? Read this article.
The most expensive cigarettes
There are millions of smokers in the world. And surely everyone at least once in his life wondered: "And what are the most expensive cigarettes in the world? And what is so special about them?" You can find the answers to these questions below.
Lucky Strike is the most expensive cigarette in the world. The price of one pack is 100 thousand US dollars. They were released in 2006. But the most interesting is the fact that in terms of composition they are no different from the same “Marlboro”. The high price is due to the pack, which is decorated with diamonds and consists entirely of pure gold. The company decided to create the most expensive cigarettes in order to attract more attention to its brand.
