Cigarettes "Arctic" are familiar to many smokers in our country, as they began to produce them back in the Soviet Union. They got their name in honor of the icebreaker, which reached a record point at the North Pole. In 2005, the manufacturer completely changed the packaging design. In addition, tobacco quality has been improved.
How did the "Arctic"
When the Soviet Union conquered the North Pole, the name of these cigarettes was born, as this event became a sensation. The manufacturer decided that in this way he will perpetuate the name of the icebreaker, which set a record. The first Arctic cigarettes were released in 1982. They almost immediately became popular among smokers, as they were one level higher in quality than the products of competitors. The cigarettes had good taste and aroma, and the performance of tar, nicotine and CO satisfied the manufacturer.
Further development
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the quality of Arctic cigarettes began to significantly lose to competitors. As a result, in 2005 the company completely altered and improved this brand. The manufacturer has created a new packaging design. At the same time, only the best varieties of tobacco began to be used in production again. Advantages of cigarettes:
- The suppliers of tobacco for the Arctic are Turkey, Brazil, Argentina and other countries.
- They use the best varieties of tobacco.
- Nicotine levels are reduced. This was possible due to the use of tobacco streaks.
- Good paper. Suppliers of this material are trusted companies, including Wattenspapier and PDM.
The price of Arctic cigarettes is 70 rubles. The manufacturer adds flavoring to tobacco. For such a price a person receives not only a unique taste, but also a fragrance. Thanks to this, the product has gained demand among smokers.
Cigarette manufacturers
All rights to manufacture belong to the company "Nevo Tabak". However, Donskoy Tobacco still has a license. These companies have been cooperating for 20 years. Each manufacturer has its own suppliers of tobacco and cigarette paper "Arctic". By orders of Nevo Tobacco, about 20 items are produced. That is why a smoker can buy a brand of cigarettes, which are made by another company. There is a quality control commission at Nebo Tabak that monitors production at the plants.
Types of cigarettes
The Arctic is made in King Size format. You can buy only two types of cigarettes. Among them there is a classic and lighter version. The composition of tobacco may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. However, this does not reduce their quality. Cigarettes "Arctic Classic" contain 0.8 mg of nicotine. The second version of the product is Light. Cigarettes contain 0.6 mg of nicotine. These indicators relate to the manufacturer Nevo Tobacco. The company "Don tobacco" makes the "Classics" with a content of 0.5 mg of nicotine. "Light" are made with the same indicators. Filters for the "Arctic" are made of special fiber.
Advantages of cigarettes
The factories of the companies use modern equipment. Thanks to this, 10 thousand cigarettes are produced per minute, that is, 500 packs of the Arctic. The advantages of the brand include:
- Careful selection of tobacco. Companies prefer fragrant and strong varieties. They deliver it even from Italy, mostly Virginia tobacco is used.
- Low resin content.
- Automated quality control. Thanks to this, the weight of tobacco and the nicotine content are regulated. Also, automatic control allows you to observe the quality of cigarettes at all stages of production.
All flavors that improve the taste of tobacco are sourced from foreign representatives. These include factories such as Mane and Etol. Paper comes from Germany, Austria and France.
Cigarettes "Arctic": reviews
These products are popular among experienced smokers, as 0.8 mg of nicotine quenches “thirst” well. Most girls speak about the Arctic only negatively. They don't like the taste or aroma of cigarettes. Also for girls, this nicotine content is very high, for them these cigarettes are too strong.
People emphasize that their low price allows you to save on a bad habit. Due to the high nicotine content, packs of cigarettes can last for 2-3 days. Young people are trying to bypass the "Arctic". Since people do not like that after smoking the smell does not disappear for 30 minutes, even if a person eats candy. But almost everyone likes the packaging design.
