555

State Express 555 is a famous brand from the British American Tobacco Company (BAT). Not much is known about the history of this cigarettes brand, but it has appeared on the market quite a long time ago. Very old silver-styled packs of 555 have been found in India which once was an English colony.

Now 555 cigarettes (or 555s, as they are often called) are sold in more than 50 countries all over the world. It is not proven but supposed that,the 555 State Express cigarettes were named after a train, and Albert Levy, the man who named them, registered all the three-number combinations from 111 to 999 as trademarks.

The State Express 555 brand is very popular in Asia. In Vietnam these cigarettes are on the top of the imported cigarettes sales list. In China, Taiwan, India and Bangladesh the 555s are also sold in high volumes. In these countries, 555 cigarettes are the most successful of all of the marketed versions; apparently because five is a very lucky number in Asia and three of them together must be even luckier.

The 555 brand of cigarettes is an often sponsor of various racings such as car and boat racings because this number seems to be very lucky. State Express 555 cigarettes is a premium quality product that provides smokers with a unique balance of tobacco and additives.
