Karelia

Greeks are among the biggest smokers in Europe, and they also produce some of the best European cigarettes! If you thought that Karelia cigarettes are produced in Russia or Finland, you are mistaken. Karelia tobacco products have been produced in Greece since 1888, when Stathis and George Karelias created the company bearing their family name.

World-changing historical events that happened over the century have not destabilized the company and made it even stronger - nowadays, Karelia cigarettes are exported in 65 countries, with the company being one of the largest Greek brands. Perhaps, the Karelia cigarettes that are the most popular are Karelia Slims, known for their smooth taste and fine tobacco.
