This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

My complaint is from a consumer point of view. I recently purchased a pack of Marlboro mediums and over half of the cigarettes in it were short on tobacco. One was over a quarter of the way empty. I have been a Marlboro smoker for 12 years and don't want to smoke anything else but this has happened a couple of times to me now. Is there anything that can be done about this to make it right? Thank you.

I smoke Marlboro blacks all the time, but I've bought 2 packs in the last month that say blacks on the pack but when I opened them they are Marlboro menthols not blacks. I've been smoking blacks for almost 5 years now.

Packs with the online code do not taste right. They also have gold stripe. What is wrong? Please fix this soon! I don't know why I have to make this three hundred and fifty characters. I am almost there. Did I mention the smokes coming out of these Black 100 full flavor packs with the code foe the website really taste like crap? PLEASE FIX THIS!

I have always smoked Marlboro Menthol and have been smoking the Menthol Blacks ever since they came out but the past 6 packs I have bought are not the Menthol Blacks in the box. They taste like crap, won't pack correctly and smoke like a light cigarette. I will not be buying anymore Marlboro products from this point on!

The new filters are terrible, they have holes in them and 2 gold lines. The flavor is no longer good and they taste like a light cigarette. Very disappointed as black 100's were my favorite cigarette for years and now with these different filters they taste terrible. Please go back to how they were before!

For a while now me and my boyfriend have been buying marlboro black red 100s and they are definitely not black 100s they are regular red 100s. Very disappointed. Also every once in a while ill go to ash my cigarette and it falls right off the filter! Like clean right off. Never seen that before. But its definitely frustrating and annoying!

Ive bought over 10 packs of black cigarettes each of which contained red cigarettes instead of blacks im in the sheridan wy area and every single store is selling red cigarettes in black packs. THIS IS FALSE ADVERTISING AND COULD CAUSE A LAW SUIT. WHEN I BUY A PACK OF MARLBORO BLACK 100S I WANT MARLBORO BLACK 100S NOT MARLBORO RED 100S!

The filter is not the same! They are lighter now and taste horrible! Why would you change it? You have a Lot of pissed consumers maybe you should give us back our normal cigarette. We pay good money for these things and you give us crap! I am very disappointed with your sercice.

Why do the Marlboro reds in a box only ones that contain the rewards? Iv smoked reds in soft pack for years & they dont have them but my wifes hard packs do? All Marlboro cigs should have a code not just certain ones. Thats crazy. The point is to reward Marlboro customers in general not only specific kinds.

They do not taste the same anymore,

They taste like spearmint and more chemicals .

Have been buying the same cigarettes for over a decade and only recently noticed the change.

Would like to know if they will be going back to normal if not I will no longer be purchasing these cigarettes.

I have also noticed the change with Newports as well

Hello, I am a sari-sari store owner and we also sell cigarettes there. I just want to complain about the quality of your product, marlboro red cigarette. I notice that the paper on the side of the filter of the cigarette has not been properly sealed. Please see attached photo. Thank you.

I am from Pune. I smoked Marlboro light ciggarates from 7-8 years ago. But nowadays their are two types of Marlboro light available in market. Both smell very diffrent. Are they both products manufacture by your company? Or second product is duplicate ?

I've noticed in the past few months they taste horrible and if you don't suck it down you have to relight it over and over. I spend so much on them and I expect to have a cig. I can enjoy.

Why is it that I have to relight my cigarette 3 or 4 times while I'm smoking it but I leave my cigarette in the ashtray and it burns right up? I smoke a pack a day and literally the past year every single cigarette I smoke has been this way.

There are some you tube personalities using your company log to sell merchandise I don't think they have your approval. They have been doing it for a few months now

Today 24/09/2019 I bought a packet of Marlboro Menthol at shell petrol station 259 MacPherson s348584.
The quality is horrible and no Menthol taste at all. I will be going over to inform the staff for exchange and I do not know if they allow. Please assist and check and I might be leaving the packet there for u guys to check.

They taste funny. Its like the filter is old or stale. I even let my friend smoke one to see and he said it was nasty too. I've smoked this brand many times before and never had a problem until now. This pack is nasty.

I purchased a carton of Marlboro Black Menthol 100s a few days ago but i had to throw the entire carton away just moments later after I opened the first pack out of it and I lit a cigarette. That cigarette tasted and smelled absolutely foul! I lit a diffrerent one from that same pack and had the same result. The entire carton they were all awful!
