555 State Express of London Mauritius Cigarettes

555 State Express cigarettes are primarily available as duty-free products, especially in Mauritius. Availability in Europe varies by country due to tobacco regulations. Purchasers must comply with local import limits (e.g., EU allows 200 cigarettes duty-free for intra-EU travelers). Check airport duty-free shops or authorized retailers for region-specific stock.

555 State Express uses premium Virginia tobacco for a smooth, mellow flavor with a natural aroma. Popular variants like Gold Regular and Blue Lights offer mild to medium strength. Note: All tobacco products carry health warnings, and smoking is addictive.

555 cigarettes are not FDA-approved for US commercial sale. However, travelers aged 21+ may import up to 200 cigarettes duty-free under personal use allowances. Always declare tobacco products at customs and verify state-specific age/quantity restrictions.

Launched in 1896 by London’s Ardath Tobacco Company, 555 became iconic under British American Tobacco. Its “State Express” name references early 20th-century luxury train tobacco sales. This heritage contributes to its global duty-free market presence.

Similar premium cigarettes include Dunhill Fine Cut, Benson & Hedges Gold, and Davidoff Classic. For Virginia tobacco enthusiasts, Marlboro Gold Leaf and Rothmans Royal Blue are alternatives. Always confirm local availability and legal purchase age (18-21+ depending on country).
