- Then a small tribute  to Camel filters with a review , as they are being discontinued in the UK. - ( Next few days.)

Overview - Marlboro are easyiley  the most known cigarette brand there is ,ask anyone if they smoke or not and they will know Marlboro. This is thanks to the sponsorship of most things back in the day when it was allowed , there biggest being the sponsorship of Ferrari in f1 , it continues to this day only now they cant actually show it on the cars. Marlboro sponserd many events , aswell as there well known Welcome to Marlboro country ads . But most famously the cow boys , giving them the name cowboy killers after a few of the models for the advert died of smoking related illnesses. There advertising ensured that they are remembered, they are the most sold cigarette brand in the world , they also have many variates , but sadly most are not available in the UK. I had to do a review on these at some point as they are so iconic all around the world.

- i have lost my lead to my camera so until i have found it or got a replacement , there wont be any pictures of the packaging ect..

Packaging 

Its very simple  , but for me it works , it does remind me of the world far gone , where it was hard not to see it at a sporting event. It would look better without the warnings . Marlboro is presented in black , its a nice shade of red , would be better to see what im talking about if i could put the pictures up , but you all know what it looks , like and that's the beauty of what they achieved with this brand from a failing brand to the best selling , the pack sticks in your mind.
-8 out of 10 - in fairness it could do with a little bit of a jazz up , its starting to look old now with all the modern packs , but i fear if this is done , it would ruined the look of Marlboro

Price 

As explained before its a old brand so its been through more taxing , resulting in them being quite expensive now. depending on the shop around £7.30.

The cig.

From my experience i have found they have always been a well made cig. Paper is well held , tobacco is packed nice it still is .
The filter looks quite large , light looking , just says Marlboro in black same style as on the box. They have a nice sweet smell in the pack .Having a dry drag they taste wonderful. burn nice and easy from the start , you get a good nicotine kick straight from the first few drags. Quite a sweet flavour , some pepole find reds harsh i don't in fact i think they are quite a smooth smoke for nearly for strength ( limited in the E.U) Easy to take a drag , some cigs are harder to drag on. Good burn time . Half way through they still burn nice and even. I got a little bit of throat  burn the farer down i got. Nice flavour all the way down. As with most there's a difference since FSC came in, towards the end you get a better kick than nearly all cigs.
- Great nicotine hit from them. good burn time , nice and even , worth the money .
- Not that much wrong with them , the price is the only thing that comes to mind , but there worth it.
-9/10

- Sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes was done in a bit of a rush.

  1. Are you paying more than $5 per pack of cigs? I'm buying all my cigarettes over at Duty Free Depot and this saves me over 60% from cigs.
