Japan Tobacco is a busy company, as they bought international rights to all of RJ Reynolds brands (Camel, Winston, etc) from RJR several years ago.Stas Bush wrote:
6) In case people wonder why "Japan Tobacco" bailed out Peter the Great, it's because they own "Peter the Great" trademark of cigarettes and I think they'd be enormously interested in utilizing Peter for ad purposes
I noticed this when I ordered a couple of tax free cartons of 'Winstons' from a Swiss company as a gift for my Aunt, and the cigarettes were marked 'JTI' and 'Made in EU'.
She had no complaints.
PS: good work and very entertaining.
