Catalogue information
Chesterfield is a cigarette brand produced by Altria Group, named after Chesterfield County in the US state of Virginia. Chesterfield is one of the 95 counties of Virginia, where Altria has one of its four research centers in the world in the capital and city district of Richmond. However, it is Richmond County of the same name about 85km further to the northeast that lends its name to another of the group's cigarette brands. Chesterfield was originally produced by the "Liggett and Meyers Tobacco Company" which later became the "Liggett Group". In 1999, Liggett sold the Chesterfield, Lark and L&M brands to Philip Morris Companies Inc., which later continued under the name Altria Group. The Chesterfield brand is still known mainly in Europe. Production for Belgium and the Netherlands mainly took place at the factory in Bergen op Zoom, until it was closed in 2014.
