The world’s best-selling cigarette, Marlboro is produced by Philip Morris USA and Philip Morris International. The brand became top-selling cigarette across the U.S. in the 1972 and never lost its leadership since then.

Marlboro cigarettes were launched in the U.S. tobacco market in 1902, by a British tobacconist Philip Morris. In the beginning Marlboro targeted female smokers and was marketed under a slogan “Mild As May”. The brand was hugely successful thanks to its light and mild taste. Marlboro was phased out from production during the World War II and re-introduced only in 1950s as cigarettes intended for male smokers. In 1995 Philip Morris introduced first filtered Marlboro cigarette.
2. Newport

Currently Newport full-flavored variety contains the highest amount of nicotine on the market. The brand is especially popular among African-American smokers.

One of the most outstanding tobacco products, Camel was introduced by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco in 1913. Camel was the first pre-packaged cigarette on the market and took leadership position in the country with annual sales reaching 425 million packs. Produced from premium sorts of Virginia and Turkish tobacco, it gave smokers a much lighter taste in comparison to strong and harsh smokes offered by major rivals. But currently, Camel offers a more bracing and intense taste. And this brand is considered to be one of the most innovative brands, with such varieties as Camel Nr. 9 and Camel Crush.
