Karelia Red cigarettes

Karelia is one of the oldest and most respected tobacco brands originating from Greece. Founded in 1888, the brand has maintained a reputation for high-quality tobacco blends, specifically utilizing fine Virginia tobaccos.

Unlike many global cigarette brands that have been acquired by multinational conglomerates, Karelia remains an independent entity owned and managed by the Karelia Tobacco Company Inc. The manufacturing process is primarily concentrated in their state-of-the-art facility in Kalamata, Greece, where the company oversees every stage of production to ensure consistency and quality. The brand is a major exporter, reaching more than 65 countries worldwide, and represents one of Greece's most successful international commercial presences.
