Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

SOS Children’s Villages Armenia


“SOS Children’s Villages” Armenian Charity Foundation started its activities in the Republic of Armenia immediately after the devastating Spitak earthquake in 1988. The Foundation is a child-centered organization whose mission is to provide family-like care for children in difficult life circumstances. Based on this, the Foundation operates in two directions: alternative care services, as well as family strengthening services provided for the socially insecure families with minor children.

In 1990, SOS Children’s Village Kotayk opened its doors in Kotayk Region for the children who lost their parents in the earthquake. In 1994, SOS Kindergarten was built to provide quality pre-school education for the children of SOS Children’s Village Kotayk as well as nearby communities. In 2001, the first Youth Home was established in Yerevan, and then two more Youth Homes were founded in the following years with the aim of providing care for 13-18-years old youngsters who moved to Yerevan from SOS Children’s Villages. In 2009, the second SOS Children’s Village Ijevan was opened in Ijevan town.

In 2020, in response to the sharp deterioration of the socio-economic situation of the population in the Republic of Armenia after the outbreak of COVID-19 and the catastrophic consequences of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Foundation launched COVID-19 response programs in Yerevan and Kotayk region, as well as the emergency response programs for youth and families with minor children displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh.

In 2021, the “Yerevan” branch was opened, uniting under one roof the family strengthening and other charitable programs operating in Yerevan.

Today, activities of “SOS Children’s Villages” Armenian Charity Foundation include 24/7 alternative care for children (long term and short term), Mother and Child Shelter, and Family Strengthening programmes, as well the emergency response programs implemented in Kotayk and Tavush regions, Yerevan city and Dilijan town. The programs implemented by “SOS Children’s Villages” Armenian Charity Foundation are aimed at the improvement of the child protection system in the Republic of Armenia, as well as at ensuring the right of the child to live in a family.

SPS Cigaronne Co. LLC

SPS Cigaronne, founded in 1999 in Yerevan, Armenia, is a privately held company that is engaged in production and sales of high-quality cigarettes. Cigaronne is a trademark of SPS Cigaronne and is protected under international patent law. The company’s foundation is based on the principle of challenging the status quo: exceeding the standards of cigarette production in terms of quality, hygiene, health, and original design and packaging. Since 1999, SPS Cigaronne has been cooperating in a mutually beneficial manner with some of the world’s leading commercial and industrial organizations, in order to obtain raw materials and to ensure a smooth production process. Since 2014, SPS Cigaronne has been committed to developing a range of innovative, “Next Generation” cigarettes by using cutting edge technology, essentially establishing a new era for the global tobacco industry. New cigarettes, created to significantly minimize the risk of diseases caused by smoking.

Tobacco Blend

For the production of its new range of cigarettes, Cigaronne exclusively selects freshly harvested, high quality tobacco, imported from recognized African and Latin American plantations. The multi-phase purification process, using the world’s most innovative conditioning technologies, removes carcinogens and toxic substances like chlorine and nitrogen containing pesticides from the tobacco, subsequently reducing the risk of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and bronchitis. The purification process prevents the bitter aftertaste from smoking. Despite the innovative approach to cigarette production, the traditional taste and the aroma of the tobacco remain untouched.

Triple Hollow Filter

The hollow filter is composed of the natural substance perlite, which microfilters the cigarette smoke. Perlite in the filter layer reduces the levels of tar and nicotine and absorbs cancer causing combustion byproducts by up to 90%, preventing the production of new substances in the smoke. According to independent studies, Cigaronne’s exclusive method of filtration helps to significantly lower the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases among active as well as passive smokers. By comparison, most conventional cigarette filters only partly filter the smoke from toxic substances. Traditional perforated filters reduce tar and nicotine content by diluting cigarette smoke with air, which creates a milder taste and may give the appearance of being more filtered and, therefore, less dangerous. These filters are not fully effective, because blocking the vents with lips or fingers severely increases tar and nicotine in the smoke. The specific length of Cigaronne’s Hollow Filter protects the eyes from tobacco smoke and prevents nicotine stains on fingers, which is an essential part of hygiene.

Unparalleled Design

The unique appearance of the new Cigaronne cigarettes captivates and perfectly combines its aesthetic, anti counterfeiting, and hygienic functions. Ancient symbolism is the new cigarettes’ attractive element of design. The image of the mythological Griffin ennobles and refines the appearance of the cigarettes. The embossed cigarette paper is not only appealing from a design perspective, but it also eliminates the possibility of counterfeiting. Unlike conventional cigarettes, the new Cigaronne filter is lined with a narrow strip of thin sanitary foil, which prevents the filter from softening and adds an additional level of comfort. By using only freshly harvested, high quality tobacco from recognized African and Latin American plantations in combination with cutting-edge technology, we have crafted a state of the art product – “Cigaronne.” “Cigaronne” is perfection, because a higher standard is yet unknown…
