Philip Morris was begun by a London tobacconist of the same name. He was one of the first people to sell hand-rolled cigarettes in the 1860s, selling them under the brand names Oxford and Cambridge Blues, following the adoption of cigarette smoking by British soldiers returning from the Crimean War. The company opened its New York office in 1902 and soon became part of James Duke's American Tobacco Company monopoly.\n\nHistory\n\nPhilip Morris opened a shop in London's Bond street in 1847, selling tobacco and rolled cigarrettes. Upon Mr. Morris death, his wife Margaret and his brother Leopold took care of the business.\n\nThe company went public in 1881, Joseph Grunebaum joined Leopold to create Philip Morris & Company and Grunebaum, Ltd., which dissolved after four years, and renamed as Philip Morris & Co., Ltd.\n\nIn 1894 the company was taken over by William Curtis Thomson and his family, finally leaving out the original family control. Under Curtis Thomson, the company was appointed tobacconist to King Edward VII and, in 1902, Gustav Eckmeyer incorporated it in New York. Ownership was split 50-50 between the British parent and American partners. Eckmeyer had been its sole agent for Philip Morris in the USA since 1872, importing and selling English-made cigarettes.\n\nTheir logo was created in 1919, and also this year the company was acquired in the USA by a new firm owned by American stockholders, and its incorporation in the state of Virginia under the name of Philip Morris & Co., Ltd., Inc., establishing a factory in Richmond, Virginia.\n\nMarlboro, its most famous brand, was introduced in 1924.\n\nBy the mid-1950s the company had become a part of American culture and soon after launched Philip Morris International to manufacture and market its products around the world.

Not 100% sure, but he might be in Omaha Nebraska, which is his home town.  He runs a golf tourney there every year, and I thought he still lived there.

Do you mean in the US or in the world?\n\nIt was first smoked by the Mayan Indians and they were around from 300 to 900 AD.  Tobacco is indigenous to North America.  It was then adopted by Europeans.
