Why are all brands of Cigarettes Class A?

Answer 1

(1) Federal revenooers recognize two kinds of cigarettes: small cigarettes (class A), which weigh up to three pounds per thousand and are taxed at $12 per thou; and large cigarettes (class B), which weigh more than three pounds per thousand and have a tax rate of $25.20
Total class A cigarettes produced in fiscal 1996: 755 billion.
Total class B cigarettes produced in fiscal 1996: zero.

A type of Class B cigarette...... Cigarettellos were ordinary cigarettes except that they were 6½ inches long. This gives you a clue as to the long-term marketing problem faced by this brand. You're conspicuous enough smoking one of those 100-millimeter jobs; who wants to be seen waving a cigarette the size of a magic wand? Fantasia (which were rolled in multicolored paper) and MCD Double, they'd been introduced as novelty items in the 1960s. But they sold in minuscule quantities--mostly through specialty tobacco shops--and they were a pain to make. The brands are still made in four-inch class A versions, however, just in case you want to re-create the class B experience with scissors and Elmer's glue.

Answer 2

No. But "Class A" cigarettes are standard in the US.

Some years ago, my evil ex and I used to get our cigarettes from abroad through internet mail-order. One time, she made the mistake of buying her smokes from the Phillipines instead of Europe, and she got "Class B" cigarettes. They tasted like the manuer they were grown in! You might also run into "Class B" cigarettes if you go to Mexico.

Answer 3

Quoted:

It's got nothin to do with quality, I've had some class A's that I am sure are made of floor sweepings ( from factories that also keep chickens I think). What it is...puff...what it is, 'scuse me mind if i lite up?...what it is, is a tax classification.
class A, are your regular cigarettes and weigh under three pounds per thousand taxed at $12 per thousand
class B, weigh more than three pounds per thousand and taxed at $25.20.
Class B are rare and made by small custom makers, extra long like 8" or twice as fat .
Other tabacco products are in other tax classes but I dunno what any of um are.
