Cigarettes "Don Tobacco". What is the popularity of the brand?

The history of the company "Don Tobacco" goes back to the distant days of the Russian Empire. The company was founded in 1857 and originally supplied the market with only grades of Kuban and Odessa tobacco. But already in 1860 the specialists of the company managed to arrange deliveries from Turkey and Bessarabia, which made the brand famous for the whole empire.

In honor of the founder of the company, tobacco was originally called and was known exclusively as "Asmolovsky" and was in demand everywhere. In 1870, Asmolov was awarded the great honor of becoming a supplier of tobacco to the court of his Imperial Majesty.

By 1912 the company Asmolova became the world's largest producer and seller of tobacco, so that the entire smoking world recognized and appreciated domestic tobacco mixtures. In the Soviet years, production was not extinguished and continued to function properly as the Don State Tobacco Factory (DGTF), supplying cigarettes, mahorka and other products to the market. After the collapse of the Union, the factory was transformed into OJSC "Don Tobacco", and later the company became a part of the holding company "AGROCOM".

Today, "Don Tobacco" has lost its competitive ability, but still remains a well-known brand, which is smoked by many of our compatriots and residents of the CIS countries.
