Gauloises Ownership, Plants and Markets
Gauloises was created in France in 1910 within the state tobacco monopoly that later operated as SEITA, and was first named Hongroises. SEITA merged with the Spanish group Tabacalera in 1999 to form Altadis, which passed to Imperial Brands PLC in January 2008. Imperial Brands PLC is based in Bristol, United Kingdom, and was formed in 1901 as the Imperial Tobacco Company.
The Blondes line is manufactured in Poland at Imperial Tobacco Polska Manufacturing S.A. in Radom. In Germany, the brand is produced and distributed by Reemtsma Cigarettenfabriken GmbH of Hamburg. French production ended in September 2005, when the Lille plant closed.
Imperial Brands names Germany, Morocco and Algeria as its three main markets for the brand, with a further presence in Iraq and France. The group’s wider cigarette portfolio includes Davidoff, JPS, West, Gitanes and Bastos.

Gauloises is owned by Imperial Brands PLC of Bristol, United Kingdom, and has been since January 2008, when Imperial acquired Altadis. Within the group, the Blondes line is manufactured in Poland by Imperial Tobacco Polska Manufacturing S.A. and in Germany by Reemtsma Cigarettenfabriken GmbH.

The brand was launched in France in 1910 by the state tobacco monopoly that later operated as SEITA. It was first named Hongroises, meaning Hungarians, and was then renamed Gauloises, the feminine plural of the French adjective for Gallic, referring to the Gauls, the people of ancient Gaul.
The two lines are distinguished by tobacco type. Brunes is the dark-tobacco line, made with leaf historically grown chiefly in Turkey; the traditional unfiltered cigarettes carried that tobacco. Blondes is the blond-tobacco line, and it is the line this store stocks: Blue, Red and Cream, all King Size.
Each carton listed on this page contains 10 packs of 20 cigarettes, 200 in total. All three Blondes variants, Blue, Red and Cream, share the King Size format and the same carton composition, so a full carton holds 200 cigarettes whichever of the three variants is ordered.
