Woodbine is a brand of cigarette made in England by W. D. & H. O. Wills (now Imperial Tobacco) since 1888. In the early 1970s Woodbine Cigarettes were released in Australia as "Wild Woodbine".
Noted for its strong unfiltered cigarettes, the brand was popular in the early 20th century, especially with soldiers during World War I and World War II. A filtered version was launched in the United Kingdom in 1948, but was discontinued in 1988.
[edit] In popular culture
- Woodbines are mentioned several times in the play Dancing at Lughnasa
- Bert Baxter, a character in the famous Adrian Mole series, often smokes a Woodbine cigarette.
