Marlboro Gold Crafted Selection cigarettes

Marlboro is one of the most recognizable tobacco brands in the world, originally established in 1924 by Philip Morris & Co. The 'Crafted Selection' represents a specific line within the Marlboro family, designed to offer a distinctive smoking experience. While the brand has its roots in the United States, its global operations are now split between domestic and international markets following the 2008 spin-off of Philip Morris International from Altria Group.

Manufacturing for the European market, including Italy (as indicated by the Italian health warnings in the image), typically occurs in large-scale facilities across Europe, though the brand is produced in dozens of countries worldwide to serve local demand. Today, Philip Morris International owns and manages the brand outside of the USA, where it remains under the ownership of Altria Group. The company has publicly shifted its long-term strategy towards smoke-free products, though Marlboro remains its flagship traditional tobacco offering.
