Marlboro 27s are good. The strength is lighter than reds, but I like reds better. They have a bad after taste, but when you are smoking it is a very enjoyable cigarette. I bummed one of these from a friend after she got them at a gas station for $4.88 a pack. They burn very fast which is why I am only giving them three stars. You should try these they are not bad at all, but there are better cigarettes out there like camel filters, Marlboro reds, Marlboro lights, Pall mall reds, and parliament lights. Parliament lights are like 6 something a pack, but it is totally worth it. A lot of cigarettes make me spit a lot. Marlboro 27’s are the only ones that leave my mouth completely dry. These cigarettes are good, but not great.

The famous Marlboro Blue Ice got the name form a street in London , Marlborough . The brand was owned by Phillip Morris company , based at that time in UK and which further created its subsidiary, Phillip Morris USA, in the city of New York. The history of well known brand begins in 1847.

Initially , Marlboro was targeted at female smokers as main customers. Several advertisements introduced Marlboro to the fairer sex as Mild as May , also the cigarettes manifested a unique design having the tip colored in red which ensured that the lipstick marks would not be visible on the cigarette. After little success with female smokers in UK, in the 1920&#8242 s Marlboro was re targeted to female smokers in the United States with a stress that Marlboro had a mild taste.

Due to socio political events on the globe , the market for Marlboro cigarettes during the WW II started falling , but it reappeared in in the 1950&#8242 s with a focus on promoting filtered cigarettes. At that times , the majority of cigarettes were non filtered thus , selling Marlboro which was filtered cigarette appealed to the public awareness of a healthy life.

Later a substantial change of advertising was made. All the subtle allusions to women disappeared and the company started to promote Marlboro as a man’s cigarette. The first icon of this new change in marketing was the ‘Tatooed Man’ and later on images used in their ads evolved more and more into those depicting particularly macho types beginning with images of naval officers and ending with livestock ranchers . In 1954, the famous Marlboro cowboy was introduced as part of Marlboro advertisements and till date the image of this Marlboro man is what appears in minds of both smokers and non smokers when thinking of Marlboro.

It transformed a feminine campaign, with the slogan “Mild as May”, into one that was masculine, and which led to significant and immediate effects on sales. By 1957, sales represented a 300% increase within two years.
