Rothmans King Size Blue

The value end of the British houses — competent, plain, and honest about it.

In production since 1890

Far East buys every product it reviews at retail. We take no money from tobacco manufacturers, run no affiliate links and sell nothing. Prices shown are indicative retail in the product’s home market.

Our notes

Rothmans Blue is what happens when a heritage brand is repositioned as a budget line. The blend is thinner than the name suggests but perfectly clean, and construction has held up better than we expected across four packs.

As a cheaper alternative to B&H it makes sense. As a Rothmans it is a shadow.

What works
  • Clean burn with no tunnelling
  • Meaningfully cheaper than its shelf neighbours
  • Consistent pack to pack
What does not
  • Thin body
  • Trades entirely on a name it no longer earns

Tar and nicotine are the manufacturer or market-label declarations, measured by machine under ISO conditions. They do not describe what any individual smoker inhales.

Smoking kills. A high reader rating means people who smoke it like it. It does not mean it is safe, and no cigarette in this catalogue is safer than any other.
