Viceroy Cigarettes

Viceroy originated in the U.S. in 1936 as the world's first cork-tipped filter cigarette. In 1952 it was the first brand to add a cellulose acetate filter which established a new industry standard.The name of the brands is of a royal origin. Historically a viceroy was a royal representative who governed a country or a province in the name of and as a substitute of the monarch. And the word itself derives from French roi, meaning the king. This favorite brand justifies its royal origin being a leader in many know-how technologies in the field of tobacco industry.
