Blend is a Swedish brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by Swedish Match AB.[1]
Blend was introduced in 1971 by Swenska Tobaks AB as a low-tar cigarette brand.[citation needed] The first variant, which came to be known as Yellow Blend after the color of the package, had 12 milligrams of tar.[2] The following year, a menthol flavored variant was launched called Blend Blue.[3]
The brand's focal market is Sweden, but its products are also available in Finland, Spain and Russia.[4][5][6]
