If anyone has tried the Marlboros they sell in Europe (swiss made) Marlboros these are total junk in comparison. Wonder why Marlboro a american company reserves their finest blends for Europe. I guess Marlboro knows Americans accept anything. Given the crazy price hikes in California the cost of these made me try different brands at Sams club. I can say after sampling different brands these are still the best. Compared to american blends this is 5 star, compared to European blends it is no star
