Big Boss

Big Boss was a pre-War cigarette company.

Background[]

Big Boss cigarettes were a popular brand before the Great War, being found in and around major cities including Hopeville, Las Vegas, Pittsburgh, and Washington, D.C. Outside of major cities, they were also popular with tourist destinations such as Pilgrim's Landing, the Sierra Madre Casino & Resort and Zion National Park. The company went out of business after the War, but enough of their product survived that it is found and still used by wastelanders.

Appearances[]

Big Boss products appear in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes[]

The brand name "Big Boss" alludes to the popular stealth/action series Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid. One of the primary characters in both series is code-named Big Boss, and is nearly always portrayed smoking.
