Cigarette companies are known worldwide. Expensive cigarettes - that category, which is available in almost all manufacturers of tobacco products. Although this kind of cigarette is designed for people with high social status, anyone can afford it - the price range is very wide. Introducing you top 10 most expensive cigarettes in Russia.
10. Dunhill - 100 rubles.
The key event in the history of these cigarettes was the First World War. Taking advantage of the active propaganda of smoking at the front, Alfred Dunhill, who had previously opened a small tobacco shop in London, began sending whole blocks of cigarettes to the front line. So, the rumor about the unique strong taste of premium tobacco reached the royal palace, and then flew around the world.
The price of Dunhill cigarettes is determined by many factors, ranging from a mild noble taste, achieved through special technology of cutting tobacco, ending with a unique stylish packaging.
9. Parliament - 200 rubles.
Probably one of the most famous tobacco brands in the world. It is safe to say that throughout their history, cigarettes from Philip Morris have a touch of elitism.
In addition to the delicate and noble taste of tobacco, the cost of Parliament also determines a special air filter, which not only allows you to keep your teeth white, but also prevents intoxication of the lungs with harmful components.
8. Sobranie Black - 220-230 rubles.
Tobacco grown in Brazil without impurities and unnecessary aromatic additives gives cigarettes a clean and refined taste. They are also equipped with a carbon filter, the main task of which is to take care of the consumer’s lungs. The design of Sobranie Black is very conservative and strict: a black tutu always looks solid.
In Russia, this tobacco brand is not particularly popular among the general population. The thing is that the Russian Sobranie is qualitatively different in taste from foreign ones - therefore, it turns out that the consumer overpays only for the brand.
7. Captain Black - 250 rubles.
The "Black Captain" has won the hearts of many smokers due to its high quality and great taste variety. The sweet and bright taste of cigarettes is recognizable all over the world and has long been loved by many.
Their high cost is explained by the uniqueness of the shell - the smoking mixture is wrapped in a reconstituted tobacco sheet, and the tobacco itself for these cigarettes is selected from special varieties. Captain Black is considered one of the strongest cigarettes - they contain 14 mg of tar and 1.2 mg of nicotine.
6. Senator Private Blend - 250 rubles.
The tin, gold-colored packaging of cigarettes Senator in one look speaks of the belonging of this brand to the upper class. Unlike the previous participants in our rating, these are elite Russian-made cigarettes, and they are produced by the Donskoy Tobacco company together with Richmond tobacco.
The main feature of these expensive cigarettes is aged tobacco: a special smoking mix of Virginia, Burley and Oriental grades is put into oak barrels and aged there for some time. Nevertheless, Senator cigarettes are classified as medium-strong tobacco products - nicotine in them is only 0.5 mg. Due to the unique technology of harvesting tobacco, the very famous specific taste of the Senator is achieved.
5. Black & Gold - 385 rubles.
Just "cool cigarettes." This is exactly what the manufacturer Nat Sherman stated about this brand. At first glance it might seem that they are madly reminiscent of Sobranie Black Russian: the same exquisite design - a gold filter and black paper, stylish packaging, quality tobacco.
However, “black gold” has its own unique characteristics: their filter consists entirely of charcoal, which allows to protect the consumer from toxic substances. Moreover, these cigarettes were originally designed for an extremely narrow circle of "smokers", which leads to a high price.
4. Mackintosh - 700 rubles.
Mackintosh is the pride of Russian tobacco producers. Just think - one of the most expensive cigarettes in Russia produces the same factory that once produced the world-famous cigarettes Belomorkanal and Prima.
The peculiarity of these cigarettes is a unique combination of English pipe tobacco with elite sheet raw material. Mackintosh cigarettes have a pronounced aftertaste of sherry. The high cost of the brand is also due to the impressive tin packaging.
3. George Karelias and Sons - 2650 rub.
The production of these elite cigarettes is still in the hands of the descendants of the founders of the family company Karelia Tobacco Company Inc, which in many respects guarantees high quality and total control over the composition of tobacco - by the way, these cigarettes lack any chemical additives.
Cigarettes George Karelias and Sons are rightfully considered one of the best in the world, and therefore open the top three leaders in our rating, having a sharp price gap from all the aforementioned brands. These cigarettes of Greek origin are available with or without a filter. The composition of the smoking mixture is high in tar and nicotine, so they are classified as the strongest.
2. Treasurer - 3000 rubles.
The world's most expensive tobacco and limited production are the two main components of the price of this truly exclusive brand of cigarettes. The fact is that the Chancellor Tobacco Company produces these cigarettes in a very limited series - only 10 thousand packs per month.
That is why not only connoisseurs of fruit spicy notes “hunt” for Treasurer, but also lovers of exclusive. It is worth noting that each cigarette in such a pack is completely handmade.
1. Lucky Strike - 6 500 000 rubles.
Oddly enough, one of the most “budget” cigarettes in the world becomes the leader of our rating. What is the catch, you ask? In their packaging. The most expensive cigarettes in the world belong to the Lucky Strike brand - a cigarette case made of real white gold is encrusted with rubies and diamonds.
Despite the fact that inside this luxurious pack there are regular cigarettes that can be bought in any store near the house - to this day it is looking for its owner among wealthy auctioneers. To date, a single copy is put up for display only.
Remember, smoking is harmful to your health!
