About this product
John Player Special King Size is a filter cigarette sold 20 to a black flip-top box under the EAN-8 barcode 50219049, which a cigarette-pack collection records on a duty-free pack of the late 2000s.[1] The collector names British American Tobacco as the producer and John Player & Sons as the trade mark owner.[1] The pack front carries the John Player crest with "The House of John Player, internationally famous for fine tobacco products", the JPS monogram and the English warning "Smoking seriously harms you and others around you".[2] JPS was launched in the United Kingdom in 1970 and is owned by Imperial Brands.[3]
The line takes its name from John Player & Sons of Nottingham, and outside the United Kingdom the brand is also marketed by British American Tobacco.[4] The same collection names a BAT company as producer of a Thai JPS pack of 2005, while the German, Austrian, French and Portuguese packs of the 2000s name Reemtsma or Imperial Tobacco.[1]
