Parliament Cigarettes


Parliament CigarettesParliament cigarettes hit the market in 1931. They were launched by Philip Morris, now known as Altria. Their claim to fame was their recessed filtered tip. Filtered cigarettes started to appear in the 1930s but were not common until the 1950s. Originally, their intention was to block loose tobacco leaves from entering the smoker's mouth. Later, they were promoted as a health advantage.

The unique design of the recessed filter prevents tar from touching the smoker's lips or tongue. As tar can be bitter when tasted, the design improves the overall flavor of the cigarette. Many find that the cigarette can be held in the mouth longer without the staining and burning associated with filterless cigarettes.

Parliaments only make-up about 2 percent of U.S. cigarette sales. They are very popular in Russia, Japan and several European countries. Swiss Parliaments at one time featured a series of cigarette packs featuring Marilyn Monroe. United States Parliaments had a series of George Bush Jr. pack covers. Charlie Sheen also promoted the company in the 1990s.

Parliament cigarettes are traditionally a blend of Turkish and burley tobaccos. They are a quality cigarette known for their soft, smooth taste. The tobaccos are carefully blended to ensure a pleasant smoking experience. The smoothness of the tobacco blend combined with the recessed filter guarantees the smoker a cleaner, more enjoyable smoke flavor and aftertaste.
