Mauritius Cigarettes

If you smoke don’t worry, there are also cigarettes sold in Mauritius Island. There are local cigarettes and imported ones. The local cigarettes produced by the BAT, British American Tobacco, have we could say a reasonable price but Mauritian find it still expensive. Some of the Mauritian made cigarettes are known as Matinée, Embassy, Viceroy, 555 and Matelot. Matelot is considered as one of the cheapest cigarettes in island but seems not to have a very good taste and has a strong smell, so if you will be smoking these cigarettes it will be easily recognized. Matinée also a local will still be produced in Mauritius by Allan Ramsay. Most of the cigarettes packets are sold in boxes of ten or twenty cigarettes. The imported cigarettes as Marlboro normal, Marlboro light, Camel, Dunhill, Bensons, Rothmans are also found on the market.

The local cigarettes are less expensive than the imported ones. For example a packet of Marlboro may cost between Rs85 and Rs150 which is around two and four euros. The local cigarettes cost between Rs65 and Rs85.

But do not forget that cigarettes are not good for health and that causes a lot of diseases as lung or throat cancer.
