The brand was founded in the 1950s during the Estado Novo dictatorship by the then government-owned Tabaqueira and was sold in Portugal and France. The name comes from the initials of the company that initially produced the cigarettes, the Sociedade Geral de Indústria Comércio e Transportes ("General Society-SG"). The General Society developed their activities in various branches of the economy, including shipping. On the company's ships, the letters SG were painted on the chimney. The slogan used is "Sabor Gerações" ("Generations of taste"). SG is the second most sold brand in Portugal, after Marlboro, and is the most sold Portuguese brand. [4]
As of 2016, variants of SG have been changed or have been removed completely, along with other brands like Chesterfield. [5] [6] [7]
