Karelia Cigarettes: From Greek Origins to Global Triumph. Cigarettes have been a successful conversation starter since their advent in the early sixteenth century. Something about the act of smoking becoming easy and convenient made the idea of cigarettes in social situations all the more appealing. There are different types of cigarettes in production across the world. Some of them have won people over after only a few years of business.
Karelia’s is one such brand. Karelia cigarettes are a product by the Karelia Tobacco Company which originated in Greece. This small-town tobacco business spent the first few decades after its foundation generating tobacco products largely for their region. The Karelia Tobacco Company has spent the last one hundred and thirty years honing its craft to produce one of the finest cigarettes in the industry. Furthermore, at this point, they devote over 87% of their products to the international market. Respectively, these countries have subsidiaries from Karelia named Karelia Tobacco Company (U.K.)
