Marlboro

With the largest product line of any cigarette brand on the market today, Marlboro cigarettes, manufactured by Phillip Morris, has the largest share of the market according to a 2002 study. The Caucasian community makes up the largest segment of Marlboro cigarette smokers. The Marlboro product line includes Marlboro Reds, Marlboro Mediums, Marlboro Lights, Marlboro Ultra Lights, Marlboro Menthols and Marlboro Menthol Lights. Mainly produced in the Ukraine, the most famous tobacco product manufacturers in the world have captured the market with their unique advertising campaigns. Originally featuring the main characters of Marlboro Country and “the Marlboro Man”, the advertising campaigns quickly became famous and launched the Marlboro brand of cigarettes through the roof in sales. Also producing a large portion of its inventory in Russia, the Marlboro brand of cigarettes gets its name from the street where the first factory was built; Great Marlborough Street in London. Actually based in London, Marlboro first appeared in 1902 and is now considered to be a true United States brand of cigarette. Known for their quick burn, almost 25% faster than its closest competitors Winston and Camel, the special blending technology and chemicals used to produce these cigarettes continues to make Marlboro the world leaders of cigarettes sold around the world.
