Marlboro is one of the world's most famous brand names of cigarettes produced by Philip Morris Company. It has become famous not only because of its distinct taste, but also due to the fact there was a lot of advertising on TV and in magazines featuring a real cowboy-type man smoking and living in a Marlboro country - this imagery appeared in the 1960s. Few people know that until the year 1924 the company was advertising Marlboro as a woman's cigarette, using a cute slogan that went "Mild as May". It was this way before World War II when Marlboro temporarily left the market until the year 1955 when it was re-launched by Philip Morris. The new cigarettes were filtered following a series of articles linking unfiltered cigarettes to lung cancer and other diseases. Marlboro can boast one of the most recognizable and memorable slogans - even about half a century after its initial appearance the slogan "Come to where the flavor is… Come to Marlboro country" continues to be quoted in different countries of the world. In 1972 Marlboro became its period of sponsorship in motor racing (Formula One) being affiliated with a number of famous teams. Four years ago Ferrari extended their sponsorship arrangement with Marlboro that will last until the year 2011. According to some estimates this agreement will bring the Ferrari team about 1 billion dollars. Besides Formula One Marlboro cigarette brand has sponsored a number of other teams and races, but it is most often credited as being among the most important sponsors of motor racing and Formula One in particular. To celebrate this, in 2006 there was a special edition of Marlboro Red - the pack had a Ferrari-inspired design. The design implied Ferrari, but the badge and name were not used. The limited racing edition was sold in the UK only. Marlboro comes in several varieties, including Marlboro Reds, Marlboro Medium, Marlboro Lights, Marlboro Ultra-Lights, Marlboro Blend No. 27, Marlboro Virginia Blend, Marlboro Menthol, Marlboro Menthol Mild, Marlboro Menthol Lights, Marlboro Menthol Ultra-Lights, Marlboro Menthol Blend No. 54 and Marlboro Menthol Smooth. These cigarettes are always available at online tobacco shops and are usually among the most popular kinds of cigarettes ordered online. The company also produces three types of snus (moist powder tobacco product placed under the lip) - Marlboro Rich, Marlboro Spice and Marlboro Mint.
