West Cigarette Prices by Country (2026)

Brand Details West

West is a German cigarette brand created in 1981 by Reemtsma Cigarettenfabriken, one of Germany's major historic tobacco manufacturers based in Hamburg. Designed to compete against American brands in the economy segment, West adopted a communication strategy built around the American 'Far West' mythology with the slogan 'Test the West.' The brand sold strongly in West Germany and then in former Soviet bloc countries after 1990. Now owned by Imperial Brands through its acquisition of Reemtsma, West remains one of the best-selling economy brands in Germany and Eastern Europe.
