Kool cigarettes with Penguin Willy
In 1933, B&W launched KOOL cigarettes, the first U.S. brand of menthol distributed nationwide. In 1936, B&W introduced Viceroy as the industry’s first cork-tipped filter product. In 1952, B&W began selling Viceroy with a new cellulose acetate filter.
In 1940, the brand’s mascot appeared on the packages of Kool cigarettes: the penguin Willy. At first, it was printed along with the advertising slogan on the back of the package. Willie was animated in a 1950s black and white promotional television cartoon series. The company that makes Kool cigarettes, Brown & Williamson, was absorbed by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco in 2004 and renamed Reynolds American. In the United States, Kool is still produced and not only in the United States, but always from American blends.
In the 1970s, Kool cigarettes, like most other brands, underwent significant changes: in 1972, Kool Milds appeared (in 85 mm and 100 mm formats); at the same time Kool Super Lights (in 1981 they were replaced by Kool Ultra); in 1979 – Kool International, which, however, was produced for a very short time; in 1981, Kool Lights was introduced.
Despite the great competition among menthol analogues, KOOL cigarettes have conquered a good place in the market. The quality of the tobacco and materials is higher than the mass brands. The pack has an appealing design and a small form factor. It allows you to always take your favorite cigarettes with you. The lovers of this brand highlight the following advantages: strong and well-defined aroma; the rich taste of menthol with roasted notes; acetate filter.
Given the advantages of Kool cigarettes, the above-average price is completely justified.
