About American Legend
American Legend is one of the cigarette families Karelia sells outside Greece rather than at home, and it comes in roll-your-own tobacco as well as cigarettes. It is part of the range handled by the company's British subsidiary, where volumes eased in 2025 along with the wider United Kingdom market, and it gained both volume and share in Spain that year.
