Gauloises cigarettes were earlier made using dark tobacco from Turkey and Syria. These cigarettes were very strong and hence not famous in the United States. To boost their sales in US, Gauloises introduced a new version with white tobacco as their main ingredient. This cigarette was relatively light and rich in tobacco taste. This new version was named Gauloises Blondes.
Gauloises Blondes were similar in strength and taste to other premium brands like Camel, Salem, and Kent. The strength might have changed but they still retain the basic characteristics of the old Gauloises cigarettes. When talking about Gauloises, people generally refer to two specific varieties: Gauloises Legeres (red pack) and Gauloises Filtre (blue pack).
