Buy Virginia Slims Online
This brand is of recent origin when compared to other premium brands of cigarettes. Virginia Slims were first made in the 1960's by Philip Morris Tobacco Company. This brand is mainly targeted at ladies who prefer these cigarettes for the rich taste and fine aromatic flavor. To promote Virginia Slims Cigarettes, the makers rolled out various slogans like "You've come a long way, baby!" Some well known slogans in the 90's were "Find your voice," and "It's a woman thing." These slogans are still used and are aimed at professional women who are on lookout for a good smoke; something which is different from other male exclusive brands.
Till 1979, this was only a variant or variety of the parent brand, the parent brand being Benson and Hedges. The actual pack had the name Benson and Hedges inscribed at the bottom. Only after 1979 this was introduced as a separate brand to give women an exclusive of their own. So till then Virginia Slims were very much the same as Benson and Hedges; same in taste, flavor, design and marketing.
These cigarettes were designed with women smokers in mind; they are slim, long, elegant, stylish, smooth and much more. There are longer than many other cigarettes, slims in other brands are 100 mm but slims in Virginia are 120 mm. This was done to induce more feminine character and to appeal to them in terms of look and style. The makers also marketed the brand by saying that the longer, thinner cigarettes means the lower the amount of smoke they produced in comparison to normal sized cigarettes, thereby reducing the amount of second hand smoke in the air.
Virginia Slims are available in many flavors, namely Ultra Lights, Super Slim Lights, etc. all these variants are also available in menthol flavor. The package design also differs with the type of cigarette you purchase. The packs have vertical stripes on the left side of the packs. The color of the lines varies according to the type of Virginia Slims you buy.
