Black Devil is a Dutch brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by Heupink & Bloemen.[1][2] The brand is especially popular amongst teen smokers.
In France
Since March 2010, flavoured cigarettes can no longer be sold in France in a bid by the French government to combat youth smoking.[3] Thus, the Finest Flavour chocolate variant became the Grey Flavour and the filter is no longer sweet or flavoured with the taste of chocolate. The brand continues to sell flavoured cigarettes outside of France.
Packaging
All varieties are presented in a "rigid" package and the word black Devil in the center of the pack. There is also a logo consisting of a red circle with a stylized, black and smiling little devil, holding a silver fork. The three types of packets (Finest Flavour, Special Flavour, Pink) differ substantially for color: the first one is black, the second is gray, and the third is pink. The cigarettes and filter also have the colour of the package they are assigned with: black cigarettes for the black vanilla pack, pink cigarettes for the pink normal pack, green cigarettes for the green menthol pack, and so on.
