About Gauloises
Gauloises is a French-origin cigarette brand in Imperial's international portfolio, sold across multiple markets including Germany, where the FY2025 annual report notes further growth investment, and Morocco, where Imperial developed Gauloises Rich Gold, a Virginia-blend cigarette with a smoother profile and premium-feel packaging, after consumer insight identified evolving local taste expectations. The report also describes new Gauloises range additions in Morocco to address portfolio gaps.
