Chesterfield Cigarettes

Chesterfield

The Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company is known for Chesterfield, a cigarette brand that they manufactured from 1911 until 1998. The Drummond Tobacco Company of St. Louis, Missouri began making Chesterfield cigarettes in 1873. A 'plug tobacco war' was fought during 1897 and 1898 with Drummond and Liggett & Myers on one side, and American Tobacco Company on the other. In October, 1898, Liggett & Myers became part of ATCo trust and continued to produce Chesterfield until the 1911 trust dissolution. L&M reblended and repackaged Chesterfield to compete with the 1913 introduction of Camel Cigarettes. Nowadays, Chesterfield is manufactured by Philip Morris. At present Chesterfield cigarettes are a classic favorite, as Pall Mall and Lucky Strike cigarettes. At due period Chesterfield was one of the most smoked brands of cigarettes in the United States. Both versions - filtered and non-filtered ones were spread, though non filtered Chesterfield considered being very strong. James Dean, a famous American film actor, whose mainstream status was considered as to be a cultural icon for masses, was known to be an inveterate Chesterfield smoker, who took up two packs of the brand daily. Chesterfield was also the brand of choice for legendary college football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, who liked to smoke beneath the goalpost prior to a game and continued to smoke when the game started. Current NCAA guidelines prohibit the use of tobacco by any on-field personnel. Chesterfields are made for real smokers, and combine the three important things in each cigarette - mildness, excellent taste and cooler smoking.
