Description:<\/strong>
Lambert & Butler Menthol<\/strong> \u2013 is a classic British tobacco industry interpretation of menthol-flavored cigarettes. This model was introduced as a lighter, fresher version of the traditional \u201eSilver\u201c or \u201eOriginal\u201c L&B.
The package design maintains the recognizable L&B style: gold background with vertical stripes<\/strong>, a central band with a green accent that emphasizes the menthol character, and a minimalist black L&B logo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Remaining at the top original British excise tape<\/strong> with a value entry of "\u00a31.00", corresponding to a period when L&B was one of the best-selling cigarette brands in the UK.
The inscription on the side "Fumer provoque le cancer \/ Rauchen verursacht Krebs" indicates that this package was intended for export to multilingual markets<\/strong> \u2013 possibly Switzerland, Luxembourg or Belgium.<\/p>\n

This version is from the last pre-reform period, when menthol cigarettes were still allowed in production (until the 2020 EU ban).<\/p>\n
