In 1879, French brothers Maurice and Jacques Braunstein founded what would become the most famous peddler of rolling papers, Zig Zag. The name came from the unique packaging process utilized at their original paper mill in Northern France. According to company lore, their iconic mascot, Le Zouave (a French solider), had his traditional clay-pipe destroyed in battle and used a spare piece of paper to roll his tobacco and voila! A cigarette! In all actuality, cigarettes were a common commodity in South America for centuries before European colonization, yet the French have managed to keep a cultural monopoly on them, as even the term "cigarette" is a French word. During the 19th century, France had a veritable monopoly on the European tobacco industry and that placed the Braunstein's and their colleagues at a very advantageous position. Now, decades later, the success of the Zig Zag brand continues and has taken on a new meaning in the age of American counter-culture.
