Sakura (cigarette)

Sakura is a brand of cigarettes produced by Japan Tobacco International (JTI). It is primarily sold in Asian markets, particularly in countries like Taiwan and Malaysia. Sakura cigarettes are typically known for their relatively low price point and their association with a milder smoking experience compared to some other international brands. The packaging often features imagery of cherry blossoms ("sakura" in Japanese), reflecting a connection to Japanese culture and aesthetic. The blend of tobacco used in Sakura cigarettes is generally understood to be a mix of various tobacco types, although the specific composition is proprietary to JTI. Sakura cigarettes are available in different varieties, including different strengths and menthol options. Availability and specific characteristics may vary from region to region.
