Silk Cut

Silk Cut

Silk Cut is a British brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by Gallaher Group, a division of Japan Tobacco. The packaging is characterized by its distinctive stark white packet with the brand name in a purple, blue, red, silver, white or green square. They were advertised for over a decade using purple silk in the ads to represent the royal purple silk ribbon which seals the cigarette pack. Silk cut is also the preharvest occurrence of one or more lateral splits in the kernel pericarp that expose the kernel tissues and embryo to either pre- or postharvest infection by fungi and bacteria. It is also a type of cigarette sold in the UK. I hope this helps!
