Sakura (cigarette)
Sakura was a Japanese brand of cigarettes that was owned and manufactured by Japan Tobacco.
History
The cigarette was launched on February 1, 2005, with limited sales beginning in the Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures. The new Sakura cigarette was designed with lower tar values and the introduction of D-spec. However, the pack design and basic elements remained unchanged.The old cherry blossom variant was discontinued after January 2006.
After that, a "D-spec" version of Sakura was sold in the Kanagawa Prefecture only on October 2, 2006.
New cherry blossoms were discontinued as of January, 2011 due to poor sales.
They were of traditional Japanese cigarette sizes: short, king size or long. They came within a soft or hard pack, 10 or 20 cigarettes per pack.
