Gauloises is a French brand of cigarettes released to the European market by the Altadis Corporation in 1910. As a result of rebranding in 1984, the name of Gauloises cigarettes was changed to Gauloises Blonder. At first, Gauloises cigarettes did not have a special filter, due to which their length was small. In the production of cigarettes, Turkish and Syrian tobacco was used, due to which they had a rich taste and aroma.
Later, Gauloises cigarettes began to be produced with a filter, and tobacco from North America began to be added to the tobacco mixture, thanks to which their taste became softer. During the Second World War, Gauloises cigarettes were popular among the patriots of France. Also among their admirers was Pablo Picasso, the founder of Cubism, and other cultural and political figures.
Today, the production of Gauloises cigarettes is engaged in Spain. Sales volumes have been reduced, which has led to negative consequences for the company and its financial performance, and hard times for the Gauloises brand. In the market you can find three flavored types of Gauloises cigarettes: red, blue, yellow. Due to the affordable price and high quality of tobacco, these cigarettes are popular among smokers.
In the course of the years and decades, the brand then adapted accordingly to the market and consumers – for example, by designing the design with the unmistakable wing helmet that is still valid today (that was in 1936), or finally adding filter variants and significantly lighter varieties to the product range. Curious, we certainly not know many is probably the fact that Gauloises cigarettes are no longer produced at all in their actual home country France – the last responsible factory there closed its doors in 2016. This does not mean, however, that the French no longer smoke Gauloises cigarettes; they are only produced in other countries.
Gauloises cigarettes appear in different pack sizes – whether in the classic pack or even the huge 5XL variant with 49 cigarettes. Gauloises cigarettes are not only very tasty, but also very noble – not least due to the pleasant presentation of the package.
