I have recently purchased 200 Lambert and butler cigarettes from a local store (tesco), every packet's where damaged, also mosted of the cigarettes where damaged, but the outer packaging was OK. i am not happy at all with my purchase because cigarettes are expensive and the store would not refund my purchase, due to it not being there fault so i have lost out on a lot of money an have no cigarettes,

Buyer beware!

Have found multiple bits of plastic mixed in with the tobacco in a recent package I’ve bought

Tasted funny so emptied a few cigarettes to find at least one piece of plastic shard in several cigarettes, I will be contacting the company directly tomorrow! As this is beyond a serious health concern! If anyone from the company actually checks these comments pleases feel free to contact me directly @

kylematthews32@gmail.com as I’m happy to provide photo and physical evidence

This is basically what has just happened to me ! No joke I just bought 200 yesterday to find majority of the cigarettes snapped and broken and there was like twigs/sticks of tobacco sticking out the paper of the cigarettes they where majority of them where unsmokeable out all the 200 it’s a waste of money I got them to last till next pay day

I have already wrote this complaint out once the site for some reason froze I have bought twenty tabs for 10 pound which I think is a lot of money especially if there are all fault and the box was not damaged so it was a manufacturing fault this is not acceptable

I have been smoking lambert and butler for years, when the lambert blues came out and was a substantial amount cheaper I switched to these. At first they tasted the same and I was really happy with them, however over the past couple of weeks they were tasting awful! Very chemically and ful of hard woody bits, others were dry and tasted stale. On top of this every time I opened my packet I was unappreciatively welcomed with bits of tobacco which had infact fallen out of the ends of my cigarettes. On some occasions the cigarette had only been half filled with tobacco! this point I switched back to lambert and butler silver only to discover the same problem. This is unacceptable! The product is going up and up in price and the quality it getting worse. The manufacturing of lambert and butler had most definitely gone down hill and I would not recommend this brand to anyone!
Not happy at all!

Bought a sleeve of lambert as I do every week, this week I have purchased them from Asda... Only to find when I opened them that the tobacco was falling out when I was taking them out of the packet and after lighting it while smoking the end was falling out and out goes your ciggeratte!
I was intrigued, so opened another and other their pretty much all the same... Also the butt is folded and creased... Not a good smoke... Been smoking these 15 years... No that that's an achievement obviously.. Just letting you know, anyway can this resolved as Asda are taking no responsibility what so ever.

Thanks Nicola

come on L+B What are you playing at take note of these complaints. I have been a heavy smoker for over 40 years and always used to enjoy my cigs but i fully agree with all these complaints. I have had cigs with double tip papers, cigs without tip papers, cigs with holes in them, cigs with chunks of twigs in them, cigs that have been double wrapped, cigs that taste as if i am smoking a joint, and cigs that tasted like i was smoking camel s**t . Over these last few months or so i can honestly say i have lost pounds and pounds worth of money on your crap ###. I am changing my brand so GOOD BYE FOR GOOD L+B

I have been smoking L&B for 20 years plus and recently I have bought packets of 20 from my local supermarket and find that the new slide packaging cigarettes are very dry and appear stale, when I have tried to get a refund I cannot there should be a sell by date on all cigarettes due to the conditions most are stored in I have taken to opening my cigarettes the counter now as lost money and ended up with cigarettes I can't enjoy

Don't like the slider packs not easy to open also the cheap blue packs tasted bad so I went back on originals in the silver packs but they have started to tast the same quality control seems to be nil time to stop smoking when we're getting sold rubbish bought at tesco I would expect this quality in a back street deal

I have never had a issue with your products before but the on this occasion i have been very let down as it was after shop hours and left me with out a cig and not only that your cigs are one of the most expensive brands so their for i expect good quality. I have attached some photos of the cigarettes for you to resolve this.

I have been smoking lambert and butler for over 10 years now I have always been happy with them until the last month or so where the tobacco keeps falling out of them and the end keeps falling off them.

My wife spokes Lambert and Butler yellow.She has smoked for over 50 years and has never known such poor quality. She has major trouble opening the packet, reverting to a sharp knife to get them open.She complains that on lighting up, the paper turns black and the cigarette starts to burn 15% down the cigarette meaning a lot is wasted.While smoking at least 30% of the cigarettes go out half way down.meaning that a relighting has to take place.
She has problems with hard bits in the cigarettes, these parts are alight and drop down. Our kitchen wooden floor has been ruined by burn marks caused by your poor quality cigarettes. The light covered carpet also has many burn marks.The 4 year old leather sofa has also burn marks where ash has dropped.

Dear sir /madam, I am like Jack Hunter previously, writing to complain about the holes in the almost non filter

on three of the packet of cigarettes we purchased. May I suggest your quality control needs a good overhaul, may I also suggest you

send some sort of recompense to myself and others for the time and money lost letting you know what your product is not

producing.

I have been smoking your brand for about 7years now and was happy with what I was smoking until the new safety design was brought out.The new design has made the cigarettes worse due to the head of the cigarette falling off when you smoke them I have now switched to a different brand that costs a little bit more but I would rather pay that bit extra knowing that the cigarette is not going to fall apart when I am smoking it.

I recently purchased 200 lambert and butler cigarettes from my local shop and when I got home and went to smoke them, they were not drawing properly the smoke was coming from the actual filter and some of the cigarettes were damaged. I was not happy about this but could not get a refund as the shop said it was not there fault, so I lost out on 40 cigarettes and my money aswell, deeply un-satisfied about this I will be changing brands as I cannot afford for this to happen again
