I happened to see your complaint. I am a Marlboro user too. I noticed that there was a warning on your pack of green that read "increases chance of blindness". WTH is that all about?! Also, how much do you pay for a pack of Marlboro in the U.K.? Here in North Carolina, I pay $5.75 a pack for regular Marlboro red.

Marlboro - marlboro special select

I just bought two packs that are labeled "Marlboro special select 100's" and there is no gold ring around any of the cigarettes. Since the name has changed I've bought many of packs and there has been a gold ring. I believe the packs I bought have been mislabeled by the company because these taste just like Marlboro blacks. Since the name has changed to...

Marlboro taste like chemical/ bitter/rust/burning taste

I've been smoking for 15 years and the past few packs of Marlboro lights I've bought have had a strange taste and making me feel weird like a nasty, burning, chemical taste left in my mouth and then I almost feel like throwing up afterwards and sometimes I do! I've never had this happen before. I live in Acworth, Ga and I buy my cigs from the Racetrac on Main Street and Hwy 92. Please let me know if there is some type of recall on these cigs...please! Thanks!

Marlboro marlboro gold

The Marlboro Gold cigarettes are very bad quality in Ireland in 2018. The tobaco is very loosely packed and some cigarettes only 3/4 full of tobaco. The burning tip fall's out of every cigarette which never happened before this year. Plain packets wont make people give up cigarettes but the way Marlboro is making the cigarettes now will make people quit smoking from pure frustration.

Not so kind regards

Alan

Marlboro black menthol

The day marlboro Black menthol cigarettes were released I was standing in line waiting to buy my first pack and ever since then I wont smoke any other cigarette I absoutley LOVE Them thank you for that Marlboro! Finally a Strong Bold Menthol Flavor. I bought a pack a couple weeks ago and three of them were not rolled all the way, split down the middle. I buy a pack Monday morning and 13 of the 20 had pinholes just before the filter so I was not able to smoke them. I still was not that upset I know it happens esp. In a factory you cant catch all the bad ones. But I was completely upset when I opened my pack I bought last night I kept finding little sticks in my cigarettes. Everytime I would light one up it would burn out. I would re-light it and would try to take a hit and it was like trying to suck peanut butter out of a straw. So I decided to open that one up and found little sticks like. I threw it away next one was fine but the one after that same thing. So I kept smoking the pack to see how many times it would happen and 7 out of the pack were bad. I am a very understanding person when it comes to things like this. But I need and want my cigarettes and when I dont have one it's a bad day haha. But I'm paying over $6.50 for my brand cigarettes and its upsetting that no marlboro smoker has a way to return bad cigarettes or be reimbursed for our bad product purchase. We are basically giving you our money to be ripped off. Your a multi billion dollar industry/company there should be fewer mistakes coming from Marlboro than any other company. I'm very upset at this point I am thinking of trying newport menthol and sticking with them. I hate getting ripped off at almost seven bucks a pack. I should be able to enjoy spending my money on a habit I love having. But I'm starting to lean in a whole new direction. Thank you.

Marlboro quality/taste

I've been smoking Marlboro for over 10 yrs. For almost a year now the quality & taste is absolutely disgusting. The taste is comparable to licking a rusty old tin can. Leaving residue on teeth tongue & mouth, causing plaque to build quickly & excessively. It's disappointing, I'm at a complete loss of what brand to switch to. Definetly not marlboro.

Marlboro marlboro lights 72's

I am a very loyal customer and have never had any problems with the quality of Marlboro cigarettes. I bought a pack yesterday and 11 out of the 20 were split right down the seam. The grocery store said that they could not accept them for return because they had been opened and a few of them were missing (yes, I smoked them... that's why I bought them).
With cigarette taxes being so ridiculously high, I would appreciate a refund of some kind (not a digital coupon, as my store doesnt take them). Thank you.

I am really disappointed with the quality of the cigarettes I bought as duty free.
They light then go out...
No smoke. Right so I spent£100 on duty free they're [censored] cigarettes. All the same light then go out. Re light then go out. Same each time. what
What are you selling me?

Marlboro cigarettes

Marlboro beyond blue cigarettes. I've been a loyal customer for the brand since menthol to gold to beyond blue, and I only buy cartons and every box I have opened, there's been no menthol ball in one or more cigarette or sticks and twigs I found most recently sadly annoying making it frustrating to smoke and not expected of this brand and quality of cigarettes.

Marlboro marlboro gold

I purchased a pack of 20 from my local shop, and found 3 unfinished cigarettes! 2 without filters attached, and 1 that was just the filter and and a tiny bit of tobacco. I have never seen this before! With the cost of a pack as expensive as they are now, I am very disappointed. I would appreciate a response from you with an explanation. I am unable to return to the shop, as I am away on holiday, and have already smoked 7 of the pack, and they were tucked in the corner and could not be seen easily. Thanks

I purchased a pack of 20 cigarettes from my local shop, after smoking 6 - 7 of them, I found 3 tucked in the corner, 2 without filters, and 1 filter with only a tiny bit of tobacco. I have never had anything like this happen before! I am really disappointed, as the price of these is very expensive. I have smoked this brand for many years. I could not return them to the shop, as I am away on holiday, and I had already smoked several of them, and I'm sure they would have said that I had damaged them, which I had not. I would appreciate your help with this. Thanks.

Marlboro ice

I've been getting the new Ice cigarettes and a lot of them have small pin needle holes in them. I can't even smoke them. Not sure what else you want me to say to make this longer so that it is seen. But I'll just keep talking in hopes that someone sees it and can fix the solution. Hopefully y'all can make it so there aren't holes in the cigarettes any more.

OMG! I said the same thing! The new Special Select—the burn is awful! I don't enjoy them at all. And I would like to thank Philip Morris for finally getting me to a point where I want to quit. I have to struggle to get through one cigarette because Selects are nowhere as good as the Special Blends.

Not only that, they make me dizzy for hours afterward. I've been a smoker for over 25 years and never had something like this happen. I think Philip Morris is trying to make us quit smoking.

Marlboro reds and nxt

My husband and I have been smoking Marlboros for years. He smokes Marlboro Reds and I smoke NXT. I have noticed a fall in the quality of your product. The ciggarettes taste stale, will not stay lit, and ashes fall everywhere. I am very dissatisfied with Marlboro. I am wondering what you will do as a company to make it right? Otherwise we are going to have to switch companies and that is not what we want to do. We spend at least $500 a month on ciggarettes, we buy them by the carton, and have just been hoping it's a phase that they would become better quality again.
Thank you
Jessica and William Wade

Marlboro gold pack shorts

I smoke a carton a week Marlboro gold pack shorts last carton two or three cigarettes in every pack had a rip in the paper about 1/3 up from the end of the cigarette. I just thought you guys had equipment failure which you obviously did and quality control would find it and fix it so no complaints move on. Imagine my surprise when this week's carton I am experiencing the same thing. After having enjoyed Marlboro products for over 30 years maybe it's time I find a new brand. Just thought I would bring this to your attention. The UPC code on the carton [protected].

Marlboro marlboro red label

I have been smoking Marlboro red label 100s for about 5 years.. recently I have noticed the ashes to fall off numorous times before needing to be flicked..this has cause ashes to fall off and me and other people I know who smoke your product have been burned by them..I'm not sure what you have done to your cigarettes to cause this but it hasn't been a problem up until about a year ago I thought maybe it was just a bad carton or something but obviously it's not..the reason I haven't switched to a different brand is because Marlboro are the only cigarettes I can smoke that don't cause flem or constant coughing
