Tobacco brand "Chesterfield" ("Chester") - one of the favorite species for smokers. What are these cigarettes and why are they so loved?
Chesterfield Cigarette History
Smoking is a bad habit, but not everyone can give up this pleasure. “Chesterfield cigarettes are fun,” is one of the first slogans of the famous tobacco brand. Drummond Tobacco Company produced cigarettes back in 1873. Chewing tobacco was still popular at that time , so cigarette sales were pretty low.
Tobacco Company did not last long, the business crashed. Liggett & Myers got the Chesterfield brand. Cigarettes became different: the design of the pack and the tobacco mixture changed.
More than once the company succumbed to attacks of black PR. What competitors didn’t invent: for example, they said that cigarettes are made by sick people, that Liggett & Myers supported Adolf Hitler financially. Despite this, the Chesterfield brand became more and more famous, and in 1995 tobacco products began to be produced in Russia.
