On the shelves of tobacco shops of different countries you can find packs with the name "St. George." Cigarettes of this brand are well known to smokers around the world. However, in Russia they are not particularly popular. What kind of product is it and why is the opinion about it so ambiguous? It is worth talking about this in more detail.
Product Description
"St. George" - cigarettes, which first began to produce the famous company "Gallagher", located in the UK. Products of low price and good quality immediately attracted the attention of customers. The product has gained great popularity in fairly wide circles. Even true connoisseurs considered him a good choice. Similar products are also manufactured by Japan Tobacco International. Over time, and in Russia appeared his "St. George." Cigarettes with this name began to produce the Moscow office of the domestic company ZAO Ligget-Dukat.
The new products retained their familiar design: white paper around tobacco and brown paper for the filter. At the junction there is a golden ring, next to which the name of the product is marked in bright red letters. For production, dark tobacco is used, the aroma of which is felt immediately after opening the pack. Slightly moist, it slowly burns out, gradually changing the initial aroma. Due to the dense smoke, a slight tickle can be felt at first in the throat, but it passes very quickly. "St. George" - cigarettes that have a fairly strong taste. True, this is not immediately felt. It should be several minutes before a real nicotine hit comes. Therefore, it is better to smoke them, slowly, gradually enjoying the aroma. Products, depending on the main indicators (tar and nicotine content) are available in two versions: blue and red. And for packing, packs of three types are used: King Size standard for 20 and 25 cigarettes, as well as QSize Slims format for 20 pieces.
Lightweight version
Considering consumer demand, the most popular cigarettes in our country are St. George blue cigarettes. They can be found on store shelves by the corresponding packaging color.
On the front side of the pack is a shield symbolizing royal power, and two crossed swords that indicate victory and triumph.

Normally, these cigarettes contain 7 milligrams of tar and 0.5 milligrams of nicotine. Such products are considered to be "light." It is designed for the mass user and most often bought in stores. Cigarettes in blue packs made in the Slims format are also on sale. They are longer than standard products, but have a smaller diameter. Such products are usually intended for women. This is probably why the nicotine content in them is reduced to 0.4 milligrams. These cigarettes stretch well , but the smoke quickly disappears, leaving behind a light, slightly sweet aftertaste in the mouth.
Classic taste
Fans of classic tastes prefer cigarettes "St. George" red. This option is suitable for those who value strength and aroma in cigarettes.
The content of the main components in it is slightly different from the blue counterpart. Such a product contains 9 milligrams of resin and 0.6 milligrams of nicotine.
