All about Marlboro cigarettes: features, reviews, assortment in the world
Marlboro is the world leader in the cigarette market and is also recognized as the most expensive tobacco brand in the world.
The Marlboro brand appeared in the USA in 1924. Fun fact: if now many people still associate Marlboro with cowboys, bikes, auto racing, in general, with the world of stereotypical male values, in the 1920s Marlboro cigarettes were considered “feminine”. Why is that? Until the 1950s, men were more likely to smoke filterless cigarettes, and filtered cigarettes (including Marlboros) were seen as a product for women. It wasn’t until after the 1950s that men began to switch to filtered cigarettes as well.
