Karelia cigarettes

Karelia is a prestigious Greek cigarette brand with a history dating back to 1888. Founded in Kalamata, Greece, by the Karelia family, it remains one of the oldest and most successful independent tobacco manufacturers in the world. The brand is renowned for its high-quality tobacco blends and elegant packaging, often associated with luxury within the cigarette market.

Today, Karelia products are primarily manufactured in the company's ultra-modern facility in Kalamata. The brand has expanded its global footprint, exporting to over 65 countries across Europe, Asia, and Africa. Despite the consolidation of the global tobacco industry, Karelia Tobacco Company Inc. remains a family-owned, publicly traded Greek enterprise, maintaining its independence from the major international tobacco conglomerates.
