Richmond (cigarette)

Richmond is a British brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by Imperial Tobacco.

Richmond cigarettes were produced briefly in Canada by Imperial Tobacco, which introduced the brand in 1968 as a filtered kingsize.

[1][3][4] Richmond's variants Superkings and King Size are the fourth and fifth top-selling brand of cigarettes in the UK respectively.

[5] They were characterised by the bright blue packaging, which in early 2006 underwent a redesign: the serif font used being replaced for a more modern sans-serif, and general appearance becoming more minimalist.

[6] However, since 20 May 2016, none of these colours have been manufactured on the packets due to plain tobacco packaging laws coming into force, excepting the Channel Islands, as of 31 July 2022; along with a local ban on menthol cigarettes.
