Atika was a cigarette brand that was introduced under the name "ATIKAH" in 1889, the year the Dresden cigarette factory Delta was founded. The label on the pack of the new cigarette brand, which later disappeared from the market, promised real Turkish .

In order to assert itself in the rapidly growing segment of low-nicotine cigarettes, the manufacturer Reemtsma introduced a deliberately high-priced cigarette in 1966 under the name “Atika”, which was still known from the pre-war period. Since tobacco with little nicotine has a rather weak taste, the mixture was soaked with different aromas to increase the taste ("flavored tobacco"). The advertising slogan " It has always been a bit more expensive to have a special taste " has meanwhile become common knowledge and is hardly associated with the cigarette brand any more.

In May 2016, the Reemtsma Group announced that it had ceased production of the Atika brand.
