Chesterfield cigarettes are one of the earliest cigarette brands produced. At one time, Chesterfield cigarettes were one of the three most smoked brands of cigarettes in the United States along with Pall Mall and Lucky Strike cigarettes.
These non-filtered cigarettes are known for being very strong. Famous people who smoked Chesterfield cigarettes include Lucille Ball and Humphrey Bogart. In the late 1960's, when other brands brought out extra-long 100 millimeter length cigarettes, Chesterfield unveiled its own version under the brand name 101. The name came from the fact that it was 101 millimeters in length, 1 millimeter longer than its competitors. That fact was the basis for its advertising slogan "a silly millimeter longer", which was used in TV commercials sung to the tune of the popular Ritchie Valens song "La Bamba". A song named "Chesterfield King" by Jawbreaker is named after this brand. It remains a popular brand in Europe.
