Chesterfield Original Character cigarettes American Blend

Chesterfield Original Character cigarettes are available in duty-free shops across major international airports in the UK, US, Germany, France, and select European countries. Note that tobacco purchase regulations vary by country, with minimum age restrictions ranging from 18-21 years. Always verify local laws before purchasing.

Chesterfield Original Character cigarettes feature an American Blend recipe combining Virginia and Turkish tobaccos, known for balanced flavor with mild harshness. This 85mm king-size variant comes in a soft box, maintaining the brand's heritage since 1873 while offering modern smokers a classic yet smooth experience.

For those enjoying Chesterfield's medium-strength profile, comparable options include Marlboro Red, Lucky Strike Original, and Pall Mall Filter Kings. Like Chesterfield, these brands use blended tobaccos but vary in intensity - Marlboro offers bolder notes while Pall Mall emphasizes smoothness.

Duty-free purchases can save 20-40% versus standard retail prices due to tax exemptions. However, availability fluctuates based on airport stock and destination country quotas. Health warnings apply: smoking increases lung cancer/heart disease risks regardless of purchase source.

Established in 1873 by Drummond Tobacco (Missouri), Chesterfield initially blended Turkish/Virginia tobaccos before becoming part of American Tobacco Company in 1898. The German-made duty-free version preserves this heritage while meeting EU manufacturing standards for filter cigarettes.
