Blend is a Swedish brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by Swedish Match AB.[1]

History

Blend was introduced in 1971 by Swenska Tobaks AB as a cigarette brand with lower tar. The first variant, which came to be known as yellow blend after the colour of the package, had 12 milligrams of tar.[2] The following year, a menthol flavoured variant was launched called Blend Blue.[3]

Markets

The brand's focal market is Sweden, but its products are also available in Finland, Spain and Russia.[4][5][6]
