555 International virging filter Cigarettes

555 International virgin filter cigarettes are primarily available in duty-free outlets, especially in the UK and Europe. They may also be sold in select markets like the US and India, but availability depends on local tobacco regulations. For France and other EU countries, check duty-free shops at international travel hubs. Note that purchasing tobacco products requires verification of legal age (18+ in most countries, 21+ in some US states). Tobacco use carries serious health risks.

555 cigarettes were first introduced in 1896 by London’s Ardath Tobacco Company, later acquired by British American Tobacco. Originally named State Express 555, the brand became globally recognized, especially in Asia. Its distinctive name comes from the numbering system used in early tobacco blends, reflecting over 120 years of heritage in cigarette production.

Popular alternatives include:

• 555 Gold State Express Cigarettes - stronger flavor profile
• 555 Lights State Express - milder option
• Benson & Hedges Gold - comparable Virginia tobacco blend

Duty-free shops often stock these variations. Always compare nicotine content and tar levels when switching brands.

This variant uses 100% Virginia tobacco for a classic English-style smoking experience. The 100mm length and wide flat hard box design provide enhanced durability compared to standard soft packs. Like all tobacco products, these cigarettes carry health warnings and should only be used by legal-aged smokers.
