Its not actually marlboro, its called "roof top" with the similar packaging and somewhat taste as marlboro. They achieved copyrights to the packagin/logo before the marlboro trademark exploded on a global market. They purposely left out the name on the package to gain market shares from individuals who think its marlboro.

it still tastes different/crap to me
