Laramie was a brand of cigarettes extant in the USA 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 1950's. 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).
