West Silver 100 cigarettes

West is a well-known international cigarette brand that originated in Germany. It was first introduced to the German market in 1981 by the company Reemtsma Cigarettenfabriken. The brand quickly gained popularity through aggressive marketing and its association with high-speed racing, particularly as a prominent sponsor in Formula One during the 1990s and early 2000s.

Today, the brand is owned by Imperial Brands (formerly Imperial Tobacco), a British multinational company that acquired Reemtsma in 2002. West cigarettes are manufactured in various locations globally to serve over 90 different markets. The packaging shown in the image features Slovenian health warnings ("Kajenje povzroča možgansko kap in invalidnost"), indicating this specific pack was intended for the Slovenian market, where it is typically distributed through local subsidiaries of the parent corporation.

As of 2026, Imperial Brands continues to manage West as one of its key international brands within its diverse portfolio of tobacco and nicotine products, maintaining its position as a major player in the global tobacco industry headquartered in Bristol, United Kingdom.
