About this product
John Player Special Gold is a filter cigarette sold in Germany in a flip-top box of 19 under the EAN-8 barcode 40305783.[1] A cigarette-pack collection records the pack in 2016 with "5.20 19 STK" printed on the cellophane, tar 6 and nicotine 0.5, and names Imperial Tobacco Germany as the producer.[1] A German tobacco wholesaler in Hamm listed the same barcode as "John Player Gold 19er", sold in cartons of ten packs at a retail price of 5.20 € a pack.[2] The John Player Special line comes from John Player & Sons of Nottingham, part of Imperial Tobacco since 1901, and belongs to Imperial Brands, which launched it in the United Kingdom in 1970.[3][4] In Germany the brand is run by Reemtsma Cigarettenfabriken GmbH of Hamburg.[5]
The same collection records a Greek John Player Special Gold pack of 20 cigarettes from 2015 under another barcode, 4030600102039.[1]

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.
- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Context: 1 / 1 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 0 / 1 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- Specifications: 0 / 2 · Recorded specifications mapped to comparable property keys
- relationships · unknown: No source names the GS1 licensee of EAN-8 40305783, so no gs1_prefix_owner edge. GS1 Germany allocates EAN-8 numbers one at a time, so there is no company prefix to read from the number
- specifications · unknown: The collection gives tar and nicotine as bare numbers without units, so the rows keep no unit
- markets · stale: The German records are from 2016 and a wholesale list uploaded in 2017; whether the pack is still sold is not established
- images · unknown: No freely licensed photograph of this pack was found: the zigsam.at pack photographs carry no licence
- evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
- images · not_researched: No product photographs recorded.
- schema · schema_gap: Some specifications retain source labels without comparable property keys.
