Gitanes cigarettes is one of the world’s most popular cigarette brands. The name itself is translated from French like “gypsy women”. As the brand name itself expresses, Gitanes cigarettes have original and unrepeatable French tobacco taste, which smokers of the world recognize as strong and lingering blend that produces thick and fragrant smoke.
Gitanes is sold in many varieties of strengths and packages. This cigarette brand used to belong to SEITA, now it is produced by Altadis. Gitanes are originally rolled with darker or brown tobacco, in contrast to 'blondes'. In honor of the name, the packaging is with a silhouette of a Spanish gypsy woman playing the tambourine. Black, blue and white colors have always dominated in the packaging.
The difference between the "blonde" style of Gitanes, and the classic style of Gitanes Brunes, both of which are distributed in Europe: the classic Gitanes Brunes tobacco achieved its characteristic by using a fire-flued way of fermenting the tobacco, and a "rice" type of rolling paper which distinguishes from most cigarettes. The result was a cigarette that was both strong in taste and had a exclusive aroma.
Gitanes Blondes are available filtered in Light and Regular. The Gitanes Brunes can be found in 70mm versions, filtered and non filtered.
