'' for Morris's cigarettes In 1847, Philip Morris's family opened a tobacco shop on
Bond Street in
London, where he sold loose tobacco and pre-rolled cigarettes. By 1854, he had started making his own cigarettes. In 1870, Morris began to produce Philip Morris Cambridge and Philip Morris Oxford Blues (later called Oxford Ovals and Philip Morris Blues). Morris died in 1873 at age 38, while his widow Margaret and brother, Leopold Morris, carried on his cigarette trade. ==References==
