Chesterfield cigarettes were introduced in 1912 by Liggett & Myers as a Turkish-Virginia blend, named after Chesterfield County, Virginia. The brand became one of America's top sellers during the 20th century, known for its robust flavor and consistent quality.

Taste and Smoking Experience
Chesterfield's signature blend combines aged Virginia and Turkish tobaccos for a balanced profile. The Red variety delivers noticeable tobacco richness with slightly enhanced sweetness from the Virginia leaf. Menthol versions provide a crisp cooling effect without overpowering the underlying tobacco notes.
The draw tends to be consistent across the range, with smoke that feels moderately dense but not harsh. The burn time averages about 5-6 minutes for a standard king size cigarette.
