History
Everest cigarettes were launched in the 1960s and are popular in the Zimbabwean cigarette market. During the recording of Abbey Road, a 1969 album by The Beatles, audio engineer Geoff Emerick used to smoke Everests. The band liked the visual imagery of the packet and chose Everest as a working title for the album.
The brand is mainly sold in Zimbabwe, but also was or still is sold in the United Kingdom, Belgium, The Netherlands, South Africa and Vietnam.

Abbey Road album name
Abbey Road is the eleventh studio album by English rock band the Beatles and was released on 26 September 1969. Geoff Emerick, the band's audio engineer, used to smoke Everest cigarettes and hence the group had decided to name the album after the brand of cigarette and title it either Mount Everest, Everest or Ever Rest (since packets had a silhouette of Mount Everest on them and the Beatles liked the imagery). Originally the band intended to take a private plane over to the Himalayas to shoot a photograph of Mount Everest for the album cover. The group, however, did not want to undertake the long trip and travel to Mount Everest for the photo shoot.
