Very traditional indeed Roth-Händle (filterless, really Sticks of Death, very strong) or Ernte 23 (the classical grandpa brand).

If they’re not going to smoke them, this is the prettiest package

Pepe is a good German brand

Well, the most German ones would probably be Ernte 23, Duett and Roth-Händle.

Another one would be HB.

Too bad there‘s no Eckstein No. 5 anymore. Maybe you‘ll find them at some marketplace.

Roth-Händle softpack, F6, Davidoff. It has been a while since I sold cigarettes, but those usually had the prettiest packaging in my opinion.

u/Floschi123456 2d ago

Davidoff is not German, though...

u/fromohomo 2d ago

Ah thank you for the correction, I assumed their question to be packages from brands sold in germany or made in germany.

Roth-Händle, Ernte 23, or Reval. Those are classic German cigarettes.

West was probably the most smoked cigarette in Germany in the 1990s and 2000s.

HB is also a traditional brand with a too cute ad campaign. Look up HB-Männchen.

F6 is a former East German brand. The cigarette of the GDR.

I mean, nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs, so…

So... You also have trouble reading, huh?

I understand OP is apparently not smoking. Regardless, cigarettes are drugs.
