Richmond Original King Size cigarettes

Richmond is a prominent British brand of cigarettes that was originally introduced in 1968. After a brief withdrawal from the market in the early 1970s, it was successfully re-introduced in 1999 as a value-tier brand to cater to budget-conscious consumers. The brand is well-known for its distinctive packaging, which often features a red circular logo with the number 20 indicating the pack size against a clean white or blue background.

While Richmond is a Quintessentially British brand, its manufacturing occurs across several locations within the European Union and other international facilities operated by its parent company. This decentralized production allows the brand to maintain its competitive pricing and efficiency in supply chains across its primary markets, particularly the United Kingdom.

Since its re-launch, Richmond has been part of the extensive portfolio of Imperial Brands (formerly Imperial Tobacco). As of 2026, it continues to be owned and managed by this FTSE 100 constituent, which is headquartered in Bristol, United Kingdom. Imperial Brands serves as a global challenger in the tobacco and nicotine industry, managing a wide array of international and regional brands.
