Amber Leaf celebrates 30 years and a decade as No.1 in RYO

JTI has reached two important milestones for Virginia blend tobacco brand, Amber Leaf. Launched in 1991, Amber Leaf is now 30 years old and has achieved 10 years as the No.1 RYO brand in the UK as of this month.

The brand currently holds a 27 per cent share of the RYO market and continues to generate good cash margin. Amber Leaf original is available in a 30g pouch with an affordable RRP of £15.95, 50g pouch with an RRP of £26.25 and a 3-in1 box format with an RRP of £15.85. Each includes hand stripped, fine cut Virginia blend tobacco, 100 premium quality cigarette papers and 77 filter tips. Alongside the original, the Amber Leaf range also includes the Blonde 30g Box - a smoother tasting version with an RRP of £15.85.


“We are incredibly proud of Amber Leaf reaching these two major milestones in 2021," says Ross Hennessy, Head of Sales at JTI UK. "Since it was introduced 30 years ago, the brand has gone from strength to strength and we cannot thank retailers enough for helping retain its position as the No.1 RYO brand for the last 10 years. We’re looking forward to supporting retailers in the years to come with this iconic brand in the tobacco category.”

Gnaw ‘new-stalgia’: pud-themed Chocolate Spoons and flavoured choc bars

Tapping into “new-stalgia” (an anticipated hot food trend in 2025), Gnaw has been working tirelessly to rethink Great British puddings by creating a number of “Hug in a Mug” classics (Crème Brulée, Bakewell Tart, Sticky Toffee Pud) in conjunction with an impressive “pudfolio” of dessert-flavoured bars: New York Cheesecake, Christmas Pudding, Banoffee Pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Desserts may prove divisive. For many the last course will always be a fitting finale to a great meal spent with friends of family, enticing comfort food that offers a nostalgic peek into happy custard drenched, ice cream topped memories from yesteryear. For others, desserts are an unwitting dalliance with guilt-filled soft sponges, buttery pastry, seductively sweet fillings, crumbly toppings, sticky sauces …
