NOTICE: The manufacturer of this brand stopped releasing the cigarettes in hard cartons. Instead, they will come in 2 rows by 5 packs, wrapped in cellophane.

Kent is a brand of cigarettes first to introduce smoke filters in 1952. The original version of the Kent Micronite cigarette filter used crocidolite, a form of asbestos, from 1952 until at least mid-1956 which was known at the time to be a cause of cancer. Three years later Lorillard introduced "New Kents" with a new Micronite filter, this time asbestos-free. Today the brand belongs to the British American Tobacco Group.
During the first Beatles' visit to the United States they occasionally took part in the expressing of their interest in Kent cigarettes. An announcer of a commercial Radio convinced the auditorium that Kent cigs are filtered ones which really satisfy, the smoker enjoys them and present the better emotions than anything else for the day, their Micronite filter is an exclusive one. Paul McCartney and John Lennon, being in the same studio, supported him.
There are thousands of cigarettes in the world, premium and generic, purchasing retailed or wholesaled, yet not even two those are alike. At the same time in this diversity there are some brands of cigarettes of the highest quality, embodying full palette of tobacco flavor -and such cigs make up Kent cigarettes' collection.
