The Kent cigarettes brand was put into production in March 1952 by the American company Lorillard. These were long (70 mm) and expensive cigarettes in a soft pack traditional for America in the 1950s. The brand was named after the then head of the company, Herbert Kent.
The sales of Kent cigarettes were initially carried out mainly in the United States. In some countries, they were used as a currency – for packs of cigarettes, you could buy certain goods and even services. They were then quite expensive and were affordable only for people with a good income. It was Kent cigarettes that were the first to have a filter. In the 70s of the 20th century, the brand was acquired by British American Tobacco, which allowed KENT to enter the world markets.
The first Kent cigarettes appeared in 1952. Their production was started by the Lorilard Tobacco Company. Initially, they were 70 mm long, with a mild flavor and an asbestos filter. Kent cigarettes got their name in honor of Herbert Kent, who at that time was the head of this company. Sales of cigarettes were carried out mainly in the United States.
Cigarettes were very popular among smokers. However, scientists soon came to the conclusion that the asbestos filter can lead to lung cancer, and manufacturers replaced it with an asbestos-free Micronite filter, which allowed the company to outperform its competitors in the market. Now Kent cigarettes use a carbon filter.
Kent cigarettes are a measure of quality. The packaging is designed in soothing colors, without any special design moves. Just white packaging and strict Kent uniforms. When worn for a long time in a pocket, it begins to deform. But nothing wakes up in the pocket and this makes smokers very happy.
