Talk:LD (cigarette)

Update of page content - incorrect information shown
LD was first launched in Russia in 1999  [2 ], and was bought in 2000 by the UK-based Gallaher Group  [3 ], which in turn was acquired by Japan Tobacco International (JTI) in 2007  [4 ] [5 ].

In 2016, JTI announced it would introduce the LD brand on the United States cigarette market with the Red, Silver, and Menthol (Green) varieties  [2 ]. The brand would become a discount brand and would have a $2.81-a-pack price tag [2]. It aimed to challenge discount brands such as L&M, which cost $3.69, and Pall Mall which cost $3.49 [2]. LD was introduced in North Carolina and South Carolina to act as a test market, later expanding into several other states in the United States  [1 ][2][6 ][7 ][8 ][9 ][10 ].

The brand is now manufactured in multiple locations around the world and is available in more than 50 countries [11]. 89.217.29.229 (talk) 13:31, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
