L&M Blue Label cigarettes

L&M is a globally recognized cigarette brand that originated in the United States in 1953. It was created by Liggett & Myers (L&M), hence the brand name. The brand was specifically designed to appeal to smokers looking for a filtered cigarette with a distinct taste. Over the decades, it has grown to become one of the best-selling international cigarette brands.

Today, L&M is owned by Philip Morris International (PMI). In Germany, where this specific packaging originates—as evidenced by the German health warnings—the products are primarily manufactured in the company's local production facilities or within the European Union. While the brand has American roots, its production is now decentralized to serve local markets worldwide.

Philip Morris International, headquartered in Switzerland (after spinning off from Altria in 2008), manages the global distribution and manufacturing of L&M. The blue packaging usually denotes a 'Label Blue' or 'Lights' variation, offering a different flavor profile compared to the original red label.
