Marlboro - The taste of your product has changed
To Whom It May Concern:
As a long time user of your product "Marlboro" red box I am now a little concerned that the taste of your product has now changed.
I am now detecting a harsh dry chemical taste.
My question is. Has your company done something to alter the cigarettes and their taste. Perhaps there are new government guidlines or safety recommendations that is resulting in the changes you have made.
I have enjoyed this brand over the years, but now I ponder whether to change brands alltogether.
I would hate to change but I can no longer tolerate this dreadful taste and after taste.

Had bought Marlboro red in the Dominican. Not the same cigarette and had allergic reactions to them.
As of September 2020 the U.S.
cigs are now having the same effect. Are the cigs now coming from out of the U.S.?
They are probably buying bootleg cigs from overseas and selling them in the U.S.A. It doesn't even taste like tobacco. They went from the best cigs to the worst.
I agree. I smoke M lights and all the packages, with the big white warning label in them, taste hotrible and stale..all the places I would frequent for always fresh cigs now have these horrible excuse of a cig...it has been going for a month now and I finally just quit smoking..FEELS SO MUCH BETTER AND NO MORE WASTING MONEY ON *** TASTING CIGS.FROM MARLBORO. So thanks to Marlboro for making such a disgusting product so I could quit.
The don't hit the same at all either I'm so confused about this an truly upset I've had no problem over the last 10 years but this
Just had a pm rep try to sell me their american spirit brand at racetrac because they know they taste like *** now
Definitely a change in lights too. Government bs
I'm looking into the nasty cigarettes I'm smoking and can see I'm not the only one that can tell the difference so why am I having to look you up after 20 +years of being a loyal customer to Marlboro red 100s!
I noticed it on my last 2 cartons. They taste terrible.
I can barely smoke a whole one! Smoked these forever.
Really disappointed paying so much, thinking you are getting the same taste It's so bad I want to quit! What did they do!
They added ammonia to the cigarettes to make them more addictive I believe. I donโt know but it seriously has a bad taste and after taste.
No matter how much liquids I drink to get rid of the taste it is still there. I am so glad Iโm not the only one this is happening to.
I have smoked Marlboro for several decades now and Iโve noticed a definite change in the product lately. Iโve never had discoloration on my fingers where I hold my cigarette but lately my two fingers I use to hold my cigarette are dark brown as if I applied sunless tanning lotion on them.
The cigarettes are also almost impossible to keep lit. I often have to relight my cigarette. With all the disturbing things happening in the world Iโm wondering if I will eventually learn that Marlboro has done something to its product that makes them even more hazardous than before.
Doing my own research and came across this blog. Im even more concerned now
Iโve been smoking marlboro lights for awhile and can taste a difference with these ones also. Iโve noticed I get a small headache every time I smoke one.
I thought at first it was just my body not having enough oxygen but, seems like its a issue with everyone.
I also noticed the filter gets darker than before. I see comments from others saying there menthol blacks taste like lights but, if lights are tasting off as well I wonder what the f is actually going on.
Also I seen online they are stopping production, had this been confirmed yet or just a rumor?
Completely different taste i dont even smoke them anymore its so bad
This has me very confused as well ! There has been a change in the packaging as well.
The newer packs have a rewards symbol on the top of the box ( the odd tasting one).
But i can sometimes find the " original" flavored ones in the packages which don't have the symbol on top. What is up??!!
Me too I've been searching for the old ones
Marlboro has definitely done something.These things are horrible and I'm getting sick from them. Iโm coughing all day/night, since these came out.
Check out new on what Marlboro is doing less nicotine and less stuff to make cigarettes less additive
It seems they also added more menthol flavor to UL menthols. I now have (what feels like) heartburn all the time. Not happy and am switching as this sucks.
I switched to Marlboro Red Label. I believe the blacks are now the same as special blend or plain Marlboro 100's...they certainly are not the original Marlboro Blacks!!
They switched the Marlboro blacks to regular menthol , I didnโt want to purchase these
