| General info : | | Chesterfield is a brand of cigarettes, named after Chesterfield County, Virginia. The brand is owned by conglomerate Altria and produced by its subsidiary Philip Morris USA.
Chesterfields, originally a blend of Turkish and Virginia tobacco, were introduced by the Drummond Tobacco Company of St. Louis, Missouri in 1873. The company was acquired by American Tobacco Company in 1898, who manufactured Chesterfields until 1911. In 1912, the brand was taken over by Liggett & Myers and production moved to Durham, North Carolina. The brand was acquired by Philip Morris (now Altria) in 1999.
Chesterfield was the first cigarette to add an extra layer of wrapping to their pack to preserve moisture.[citation needed] In 1926, Chesterfield's "Blow some my way" advertising campaign targeted women smokers,[1] while a 1948 advert produced for NBC claimed that the brand was "preferred by professional smokers".[2]
In 2011, Philip Morris created three variations (Chesterfield Red, Chesterfield Blue and Chesterfield Menthol) for the UK market.[3] In 2018, Phillip Morris discontinued Chesterfield non-filter cigarettes in the United States;[citation needed] shortly thereafter (January 2019), the company began limited US testing of three filtered varieties: Reds (Full Flavor), Blues (Lights), and Green (Menthol).[ | |
