Javanse Jongens Halfzware Tobacco

Javanse Jongens is a well-known brand of rolling tobacco particularly popular in Germany and the Netherlands. Originally founded in the Netherlands, the brand name and imagery reflect historical Dutch colonial connections with Indonesia (Java). While the brand originated with the Royal Theodorus Niemeyer company in Groningen, it has since become part of a large global portfolio.

Today, the brand is owned by British American Tobacco (BAT), one of the world's largest tobacco conglomerates. For the German market, the product is typically manufactured at BAT's production facilities in Germany, specifically in Bayreuth, which serves as a major hub for their tobacco processing. The ultimate ownership lies with British American Tobacco p.l.c., headquartered in London, United Kingdom.
