Last puff for the French-made Gauloise: "In a victory for lighter American-style cigarettes over their pungent Gallic counterparts, the last factory in France making Gauloise cigarettes shut down on Wednesday...
The end of Gauloise production in France came as little surprise to the owner and clients at La Civette, a tobacco shop in the Paris suburb of Neuilly.
'Dark Gauloise smokers are very faithful to their brand, but they are not young or very numerous,' said Delphine Cartron, owner of the shop. 'Young people are attracted by the cowboy and sweet taste.'"
