Du Maurier Red - Strong Strength

We had Red & White and Black & White, but this time Red & Blue introduces our 2 new cigi vehicles - du Maurier came in red or blue boxes. Red meant strong strength. Blue meant medium strength.

In a way, du Maurier were quite unique. Instead of the flip top or sleeve packs favoured by most of the major brands, du Maurier presented it's cigarettes in lid type boxes of 20. Very art decor style don't you think?

It sort of sounded nice to say one smoked du Maurier as it promoted style and class, whilst with its lid top boxes, preserved the cigis in perfect condition.  Why this style of pack was not more widely used is hard to say, one can only imagine costs, as only the more expensive cigarettes were packed this way.  Manufactured by the London Tobacco firm of Peter Jackson in 1929 or rather re-launched by them in that year du Maurier cigarettes was the first to carry a filter tip and was aimed mainly at women smokers.

We have produced two delightful models featuring the brand a Model A and our ever so popular BullnoseBullnose
