Gauloises Cigarettes

Gauloises is a French cigarette brand introduced in 1910 by SEITA. Known for its strong and distinctive aroma, it was originally made from dark tobaccos from Syria and Turkey. The brand has been associated with French culture and history, including its popularity among French soldiers during World War II. In 2008, Imperial Brands acquired Altadis, the parent company of SEITA, making Gauloises a part of Imperial Brands. While Gauloises cigarettes are produced in multiple countries, they are manufactured in Poland as of 2018. In Germany, the brand is produced and sold by Reemtsma, a subsidiary of Imperial Brands. The barcode 4030600098189 corresponds to Gauloises Additive Free cigarettes, produced by Imperial Tobacco for duty-free sales in Germany in 2016. The packaging features a blue and white color scheme with the image of a winged helmet, symbolizing the spirit of the Gauls. Gauloises cigarettes have been linked to various cultural and political figures, including artists like Pablo Picasso and musicians like John Lennon. Despite changes in the global tobacco industry and increasing regulations, Gauloises cigarettes remain a beloved brand with a loyal customer base that appreciates their unique flavor and cultural significance.
