Laramie cigarette tubes package

Laramie was a brand of cigarettes extant in the United States from the 1930s into the 1950s.

Later, the name was used for a cigarette rolling system (kits for rolling one's own cigarettes).

Laramie is currently a brand name for cigarette papers[1] and cigarette tubes (rolling papers pre-formed into a tube, for use in home tobacco injector systems) marketed by HBI International.

In Pop Culture

Laramie cigarettes are a popular brand on The Simpsons, despite the fact that they've been out of production since the 1950s. The red and white triangular packaging is meant to be a parody of the real-life Marlboro cigarettes. In the show they sponsor children beauty pageants and have a corporate mascot named Menthol Moose (a parody of Joe Camel) who can be seen at parades in Springfield.

Advertisements for Laramie cigarettes are shown in a tobacco lawsuit in The Practice (Season 1, Episode 4).

Laramie Cigarettes also make an appearance in the computer game System Shock 2.
