Lambert & Butler Profile ( UK )

Lambert & Butler Profile.         ( Next review St Mortitz Menthol )

Overview

Lambert & Butler are the uks number 1 selling cigarette , they made more money than coke in the uk , in the latest look into it , they are produced by imperial tobacco , and have been around if my memory is correct since the mid/late 70s. They ran adverts just before the ban of a posh guy called Lambert and the adverts would be him interacting with his Butler , i have always liked Lamberts i think there a good smoke for the price . Profile are a new type of cigarette in the UK , they are a form of compact cigarette , which means due to their size , they are taxed less.

Price 

Price is on the front of the pack , they are £6.50 a good price for a mid range priced cig, the normal Lamberts are now verging on £7 they are suffering from the fact they have been going a while so they have been through more tax rises , but these are a good price for a cigarette in the UK. I don't know if the price is promotional as they are quite new on the market ( Price for 20 )

Packaging 

Its quite nice , all Lambert & Butler packs are reverting back to how they was i have noticed lately they aren't shiny any more ( it has a proper name but i cant remember it. ) its a nice shade of silver , the blue on the logo and where it says profile looks nice, to goes nice with the background silver. . You can see the size difference , i will put a few pictures up to this , where ill compare the size to my usual brand Regal.
- Nice looking all goes together well - But its not the best there has ever been
7.5-10
- On the back it says  " The same quality Lambert & Butler in a convenient compact format. " I will review this as well how practical it is in the size it is , and put it towards the final rating of the cigarette.

The cig.                                                ( 10mg Tar  0.8 mg Nicotine  10mg Carbon Monoxide )

They are VERY thin , and look quite long , light coloured tobacco , round about the same size as a king size , but thinner and a little smaller , the pack is very practical as it is easier in youre pocket it isnt as bulky as most king size packs , i must admit as someone who likes Lambert & Butler its a very good concept by Imperial Tobacco .
Just says L&B similar to like it is on the side of the pack. Taste is more or less if not the same as normal Lamberts , quite nice taste , not the best but by no means the worst . Burn lets them down a lot , but with smoking bans , they would be good to take to the pub as you wont be outside for a long time. Gives off a quite good hit , it has contact paper at the bottom of the cig which i hate. More flavour as you get through it , a bit of a slower burn than the silver L&B , a very slight chemical taste to Lamberts before the FSC.
- A very nice cig for the price , defentley worth a try , the same as the standard L&B , nice taste not the worst there is , for the price there worth trying just for the Profile concept leaves a pleasant after taste.
- Burn time is the major let down with L&B. can see why the became the UKs number 1 , good smoke for the price. ( Note - it is the standard L&B that's number 1, but there the same these are just smaller )

8/10- Not to everyones taste as every one enjoys different cigs but these are worth a try great mid range priced cigarette.






















Compared with a standard 20 pack of king size. ( Regal- will review them at a later date  )





- Pack without price on.
