Chesterfield tastes different abroad, how can I confirm formula changes?

Blends of cigarettes like Chesterfield can be different from one country to the next because each market has its own rules about how to make them, what ingredients can be used, and where to get tobacco.

Philip Morris International, which makes Chesterfield outside of the U.S., changes blends to fit national laws and customer tastes, so the flavor might not be the same everywhere.

Check the health authority disclosures in the country where you bought the pack to see if the formula is different. Many governments require tobacco companies to post lists of ingredients.

Philip Morris also has regional customer service lines that you can use. When you call, be sure to include the pack's code and where you bought it to confirm.
