Parliament Night Blue Cigarettes

Parliament is a premium brand of cigarettes originally introduced in 1931 by the Benson & Hedges company in New York, United States. It became famous for its unique recessed paper filter, which was originally marketed as a health benefit to prevent tar from reaching the smoker's mouth. The brand was later acquired by Philip Morris, which eventually became part of the Altria Group in the U.S. and Philip Morris International (PMI) globally.

Today, Parliament is a prestigious global brand owned by Philip Morris International. While the brand has American roots, the majority of Parliament cigarettes sold in European and international markets are manufactured in Switzerland, where PMI maintains large-scale production facilities. Ownership remains with Philip Morris International, headquartered in East Greenwich, Connecticut (USA) for corporate operations, while being legally incorporated in Virginia.
