Karo is the German word for diamond. HistoryKARO was originally launched as Carré in the early 1960s, but later on got "Germanised" and its name got changed to KARO.[3][2][5] KARO was formerly produced in East Germany by the "VEB Zigarettenfabriken Dresden", and because it was produced in the German Democratic Republic, the cigarette was made only from tobacco without added perfumes, fragrances and flavour enhancers. A pack of filterless KARO cigarettes was sold for 1.60 M per box of 20 cigarettes, which made it one of the cheapest cigarettes on the Eastern market.[6][7] In East Germany, the cigarettes had been nicknamed "Lungentorpedo" ("Lung torpedo") on the basis of their very own and very strong taste.[8] KARO-smokers were more or less also objected to jokes because of it. In East-Germany, the cigarette was widespread, especially among prison inmates. In West-Germany, the brand was hardly sold because it was difficult to obtain.[9] After the German reunification, the brand was advertised with the slogan that she was an "attack on the taste of the unification".[10] In popular cultureMusicWolfgang Lippert sang it in 1982 in his hit Erna kommt ("Erna comes"), with Hugo Egon Balder's western cover version simply changing the words "a check" to "cigarette".[11][12]The brand was also smoked by "Jürgen Wolff" from "Folkländer" and "Bernd Stamm" from "Polkatoffel". The brand was especially popular in the East German Folk music scene.[8] Products
