Gauloises Blondes Cigarette Prices by Country (2026)

Brand Details Gauloises Blondes

Gauloises is one of France's most iconic cigarette brands, created in 1910 by SEITA, the French state tobacco monopoly. Originally made with strong dark (caporal) tobacco, recognisable for its pungent aroma, the 'Blondes' variant with lighter Virginia-type tobacco was introduced to meet evolving consumer tastes. The winged Gallic helmet logo is an icon of French graphic design. Gauloises was the favoured cigarette of many French intellectuals and artists, including Pablo Picasso, Jean-Paul Sartre and Serge Gainsbourg. The brand is now owned by Imperial Brands through its Spanish subsidiary Altadis.
