"It was a sort of status symbol, really."

You bet! Back in my smoking days I tried every cigarette imaginable. I tried all the American brands and a lot of the trendy European brands. In my opinion Marlboro was the best cigarette on the face of the earth. I don't think I (or any other committed smoker) could get burned more than once on the fake Marlboro's because I would recognize in a second that I wasn't smoking the real thing. Nobody is going to pay extra for Marlboros they know aren't real Marlboros.
