Top-selling Cigarettes of the Year: Legends vs. Newcomers

On the verge of New Year’s eve internet usually gets overfilled with numerous ratings, tops and lists of various things, like for example, the best cars of the year or the worst celebrity do’s. So, we couldn’t stay away from this tendency and have made up our rating of the most popular cigarettes of 2009. Here is the list:

1. Marlboro
2. Winston
3. Camel
4. Parliament
5. Pall Mall
6. Classic
7. L&M
8. Red & White
9. Hilton
10. Doina

Though our top-seller has not been a surprising one, we have been deeply amazed sweeping its dominance was, since our customers have bought 3 times more Marlboro cigarettes than any other brands, if comparing by the amount of cartons sold throughout the year.

Another surprise was to see Winston overcoming another flagship RJ Reynolds brand, Camel at number two. Nevertheless, it obviously happened due to a couple of reasons: firstly, Winston is nearly $2 cheaper than Camel, what is very important during these difficult economic times; and secondly, Winston offers a much wider assortment of varieties differing by strength and size. Therefore, it’s not that strange why Winston has been in such a huge demand.

As regards Camel, this legendary brand has tasted so much success for decades, so there is no doubt it should have been in our top-3 most popular cigarettes.

Parliament has narrowly outstripped Pall Mall to get the fourth place in the rating; however, even the 5th position is a great step forward for Pall Mall, as this brand has been almost forgotten by adult American smokers, but revived recently with the help of enormous marketing efforts by RJ Reynolds experts. So, step-by-stepPall Mall is strengthening its position among the leading cigarette brands. Moreover, it is obvious that we could see Pall Mall cigarettes climbing even higher in the nearest future.

While the top five brands are known to average American smokers and could be bought in every c-store, the remaining 5 brands, except L&M, are totally unknown to US customers, as they are produced for European smokers only.

However, since the World Wide Web is a place where one can find anything, these brands gained the popularity among American smokers thanks to their superb quality.

From these brands, the sixth place of Classic cigarettes was a major shock for us. These Ukrainian-made cigarettes have become hugely popular among our customers mainly due to great quality and low cost.

Hilton and Red&White are also discount brands, beloved by those smokers who prefer spending less on cigarettes, but still getting nice quality products.

And the last but not least, Doina brand obtained the 10th place in our list, out-distancing such world-known brands like Virginia Slims, Bond Street, Chesterfield and Davidoff. And this is a amazing success for this Moldavian cigarette brand.
