About Karelia Filter
The Karelia filter cigarette in its hard case is the company's historic brand and it still held a 1.4 per cent share of the Greek market in 2025. Its appeal is largely the pack: the company says the distinctive vintage case works as the central element of the brand's identity and is what keeps it recognisable decades after it stopped being the firm's main seller.
