Marlboro Marlboro Lights shorts

A while back you changed the paper on the filters. Now, when it gets wet, as it will, it starts to disintegrate and then you’re spitting paper. I believe that you have done this on purpose, you’re either trying to save money or so that we toss the cigarette sooner and we smoke more.

So, just FYI, you have lost a loyal 50 year customer as I’m trying other brands to find one I like that your company doesn’t make, if possible.

Marlboro Marlboro red label 100

I have been smoking Marlboro for over 60 years I called about two weeks ago and they said they were gonna send me after I was complaining about an issue with smoking Marboro red label 100 what’s happening is it goes out in every cigarette it goes out about four times between drags and it’s starting to make a new flame about an inch down which cannot be tolerated this is been happening to me for the last three months Because I called again they told me that they can’t issue me a credit on that so I have decided to change my brand if there’s such a long time smoking Marboro cigarettes I have become so fed up with the customer service that I’m actually as hard as is I’m changing brands..I’m Done!

Marlboro Marlboro reds

The last two cartons of marlboros I have bought have had atleast 4 to 5 factory defect broken cigarettes in each pack. I've been an avid Marlboro smoker for around 30 years and have never had this problem. It's been a huge inconvenience at work. I purchased these cartons in two different areas as well. One carton at sheetz in weirton wv and one carton at the state line store in wellsburg wv all in the last two weeks.

Desired outcome: I would like a response and some kind of solution. [protected]@gmail.com

Marlboro Marlboro reds shorts in a box

25 years ago, I went from Camel to Marlboro Lights, eventually leading to Marlboro Reds. Always loved, Marlboro up til 2018 or so, I started to notice a difference. Not only did Marlboro lose its flavor, they won't even stay lit, anymore. On top of that, I have developed a cough that has lasted 3 years until I switched to Winston's Red Box! 3 days my cough is gone, not to mention they taste like your cigs did, 20 years ago. You're lucky I don't sue your company, then again...

Desired outcome: Don't smoke Marlboro!!

Marlboro Misleading refer a friend to get points on the website

I am very disappointed that Marlboro would have a referral program on their website to earn points and for the referral friend to as well. Yesterday 8/23/2022 sent my friend a referral from Marlboro website to earn 1500 points to sign up and in return I would earn 500 points. Nope not true. I didn't get my points, so called customer care and the woman who answered said that the referral program isn't available any longer. I asked her since we did it already can you please give us some points. She replied no I cannot do that. Really? I told her it is on the website and she said let me take a look. She responded no I don't see it. Well today is 8/24/2022 and it is still on the website showing you earn points for referring a friend. This is misleading and someone isn't doing their job.

Desired outcome: I would like our points and as indicated on the website. Maybe for our trouble send us a free harmonica each?

Marlboro MARLBORO mobile app portal; Speedy rewards program

This app NEVER works! It's a never ending loop of "Please sign in". After signing in 4 or 5 different times, it'll then ask for your pin to, get this, SIGN IN AGAIN. When you click on Marlboro cigarette offers, you get thrown deep into a black screen of nothingness and there you wait. And wait... for more nothingness. Prices are sky high guys. One, $1 off coupon would be lovely in this economy. Unfortunately, I quit getting coupons in the mail and lost all faith in the Marlboro app ages ago. Unfortunately, times are tough right now so in perseverance to save a dollar, I tried the app again this morning, only to be reminded of why I gave up on it 2 years ago. I'm beginning to believe Marlboro just doesn't have any consideration when it comes to saving thier customers money on already extremely overpriced products.

Marlboro Marlboro Black 100's Non-Menthol

Hi there, it's me Jason Masters, I recently purchased a carton of Marlboro Black 100's Non-Menthol cigarettes and about half of the packs in the carton were bent/creased inwards and the cigarettes in those packs were torn. I tried to use cig paper to patch the tears on the ones I could but needless to say it didn't work out very well. Just wanted to bring it to your attention. I've never ever had any problems before that I can remember so I'm assuming this is an isolated and very rare incident. Thanks, Jason Masters.

P.S. I tried to put pict at bottom where indicated but when I pushed the button to do so it wouldn't take me anywhere to take pict.

Marlboro Special select regular gold box

Purchased Special Select on July 4,02002 at Walgreens Store # 4593

in West Palm Beach Florida.

When you light the cigarette the paper burns down with heavy smoke

and won't stop burning; no chance to enjoy the tobacco

I have smoked this brand for some time and this is the first time this happened.

I purchased 5 packs on 7/04 the first 3 packs were fine last 2 were horrible.

as well as scary. I don't want to change brands but I can't afford a repeat

Mary Anne Ryan

Desired outcome: i would like an explanation. Worried these were tampered with.Please respond.

Marlboro Marlboro video

Watching the video of the black lady “woodworker/furniture maker” and realized she spoke of helping ‘women and people of color.”

I find this highly discriminatory and believe a lawsuit could be won. I imagine this woman has zero trouble taking money from White men in exchange for her “furniture “. Please fix this, Marlboro. Being woke can make you broke.

I watched the video at approximately 2:00 pm, Wednesday, July 13th, 2022

Desired outcome: I want that video removed.

Marlboro Marlboro Rewards

The Marlboro Rewards catalog offers an item listed as "TILE WITH REPLACEABLE BATTERY". (It's a tracking device.) I ordered this item in October 2019. I received it. I liked it.

I ordered another one in March 2022. This time they sent me a unit that has a non-replaceable battery. As I explained to their customer service rep, whether the battery is replaceable is the difference between an item that can be used indefinitely versus an item that becomes disposable when the battery dies. It's a significant difference. So they sent me another one...also with a non-replaceable battery.

I offered to send both of the units I have with non-replaceable batteries in exchange for 1 unit with a replaceable battery. "No exchanges. No refunds." So I said, "Fine. When can I expect to receive the item that I ordered?"

They asked me to send them pictures. Now it's kinda like I'm doing their work for them, but I sent them side-by-side pics of both the fronts and backs of the devices and the packaging. They replied that I'd hear back from them within 2 weeks. It's been 6+weeks and I haven't heard from them again.

Desired outcome: I want the item I ordered (not an obsolete, inferior version). If that item is no longer available, a refund of my Marlboro Rewards points would also be acceptable.

Three weeks later and several emails the reneged on giving me my prize. I am bitterly upset and I was given the runaround by their customer complaint department. I have been a loyal customer and am bitterly upset by this.

Desired outcome: I want my prize

Marlboro Marlboro double-ice mixed with berry flavour (double fusion)

I have been smoking Marlboro double-ice (menthol) since it came on the market and would be saddened should I need to change my preferred choice of cigarettes. I had bought two (2) cartons (20 packets) of Marlboro double-ice (menthol) cigarettes recently. In both cartons, in each packet there has been 3-4 berry flavoured cigarettes (Double fusion). I would like to make Marlboro aware of this error and hope that in future it can be resolved.

Marlboro Stale, and not tasting well

I went and bought two cartons of cigarettes I can normally do at the gas station I normally do. These cigarettes had a horrible taste n oder almost being rotten. I tried to get a refund and wasn't able to I'm so upset because I basically been a lifelong customer of yours and I feel like I'm stuck with something that's is no good and how expensive they are per carton it's kind of disheartening. I understand mistakes can happen but I can't afford to pay for a mistake right now if you could fix the situation I would be so grateful otherwise I've already considered going to a different brand and I can't believe I'm even in saying that.

Desired outcome: Repaid back

Marlboro Not staying lit

Says this issue was resolved, but Apparently this issue has definitely NOT been resolved. Myself and several people I know who all smoke Marlboro have had the exact same problem. Stop using the flame retardant or whatever it is that makes them go out. You light it, say 3 or 4 sentences speaking to someone and have to relight it. Super annoying! One cigarette should not need to be relit 3 times. Stop using those nasty chemicals

Desired outcome: Go back to using natural tobacco instead of all the nasty additives. I could understand paying $7 a pack for That.
