Abstract

Disclosed is a method of merchandising cigarettes, both in factory-made form and in the form of loose tobacco of the same blend and other related products bearing the same brand.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Heretofore, “factory-made” cigarettes have been sold in a variety of brands in packs, each of which brands has a distinctive flavor. Tobacco companies have also sold loose tobacco and cigarette papers or prefabricated tubes from which the smoker may assemble, either manually or with small, hand-operated machines into individual “make (roll) your own” cigarettes. [0001]
  • It is well known that smokers cigarettes tend to develop a loyalty for one brand which has an established tobacco mixture or blend of tobaccos that best satisfies their individual taste. [0002]
  • With the increasing prices and taxes on cigarettes, more smokers are turning from factory-made cigarettes to make your own. [0003]
  • When a smoker is pressed for time or is not in a situation where it is convenient to make his/her own cigarette, a factory-made cigarette will be the choice. When conditions permit, however, many smokers prefer the enhanced quality and flavor of a freshly made cigarette. [0004]
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a method that enables smokers to satisfy their preferences by merchandising tobacco products of the same tobacco blends and under the same brands in both factory-made form and the “makings” for the smoker who prefers to make his own individual cigarettes.[0005]
    • DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS
  • According to the present invention, various brands of cigarettes are merchandised in factory-made and make your own forms bearing the same brand and containing the same tobacco blends. [0006]
  • Examples of the present invention are: [0007]
    TOBACCO BLEND
    BRAND Oriental Virginia Burley
    GERONIMO 7-9% 78-88%  5-13%
    BANDITO 4-6% 69-89%  5-27%
    NOBLE 12-15% 58-60% 25-30%
    REVENGE 10-11% 75-76% 15%
    • Other Related Products
  • The present invention also contemplates similarly branding products related to cigarettes and smokers, such as hollow tubes and hand-operated machines for filling the tubes with loose tobacco, matches, and empty cigarette packs. These additional items, bearing the same brands as the factory-made cigarettes and the “makings” for individually-made cigarettes, enable the smoker to complete the appearance of brand loyalty between factory-made and make-your-own form of cigarettes. [0008]
