 Chesterfield Cigarettes have a very rich and interesting history. Chesterfield cigarettes were first manufactured and sold in 1883 by the Drummond Tobacco Company of St. Louis, Missouri in the United States. They were later made by the Liggett & Meyers Tobacco Company who later sold it to the Phillip Morris Company who is now under the umbrella of the Altria Group. They have a flavor that includes the three things that a smoker wants most such as great taste, cooler smoke and a mild flavor that is enticing to every smoker both male and female.
In the 20th century, the Chesterfield cigarette brand was one of the most recognized in the world and one of the three most smoked cigarettes. Chesterfield was a favorite of Hollywood greats such as Lucille Ball, James Dean and Humphrey Bogart along with other well-known names both on the silver screen and the television. They put out a special red Christmas Edition pack of cigarettes that symbolized the international love for the Chesterfield brand.
The Chesterfield brand name was very involved in American society in the early 20th century and until the new laws banned the tobacco industry from many forms of advertising. Chesterfield sponsored many early Radio and Television Shows such as Glenn Miller’s Radio Show and early editions of Dragnet and Gunsmoke. The cigarettes were also featured in several popular movies, but now that the laws have limited them you might not see them very often any more.
Chesterfield cigarettes are offered in a variety of styles both filtered and unfiltered. The unfiltered style is not as common and is a little hard to find today simply because the demand for them is not very large. It is called the Chesterfield Regular Non Filter and is packaged in the traditional white packaging with the Chesterfield logo splashed across the front of the package.
The filtered styles produced in the Ukraine include the following: Chesterfield Classic Red, Classic Blue (Light) and Classic Bronze (Ultra Light). These are all packaged in a King Sized, white, flip top box with the traditional Chesterfield logo on the front of the box. They are also available in soft packs but the soft packs are not as popular with the smokers.
Chesterfield Cigarettes produced in Russia are sold under the following names: Chesterfield, Chesterfield Lights, and Chesterfield Ultra Lights with packaging styles that compliment the similar styles produced in the Ukraine. |
