JTI expands cigarillo range with new Sterling Dual Double Capsule Leaf Wrapped

JTI has expanded its cigarillo portfolio with the launch of the new Sterling Dual Double Capsule Leaf Wrapped, offering double the flavour with a combination of peppermint and berry mint capsules.

The cigarillo category has continued to grow in both grocery and convenience channels, particularly over the last 12 months, and is now worth approximately £8m a month, showcasing the category opportunity available for retailers.


The innovation joins the already successful Sterling Dual Capsule Leaf Wrapped range - the fastest growing cigar brand in the UK and the number one cigarillo brand, with a 92.4 per cent share of the market. The new flavour is a valuable addition to existing portfolios, giving retailers another way to maximise sales in a growing category.

STERLING DUAL DOUBLE LEAF WRAPPED 10 PMP £5 70 RF 2

“Sterling Dual Capsule Leaf Wrapped has had a strong couple of years since launching in 2019 and we wanted to build on this success by providing retailers with new flavours that respond to current trends," said Mark McGuinness, Marketing Director at JTI UK. "We know that berry is already a popular flavour within other categories, such as Vape and Heated Tobacco products, so with this innovation we know we can help retailers drive incremental sales in their store. What’s more, the lower price point and the fact we can offer a 10-pack, means retailers can cater to those shoppers looking for value-for-money tobacco options – something we know is important for many right now.”

Available now across all UK channels, Sterling Dual Double Capsule Leaf Wrapped has a RRP of £6.00 for a pack of 10. There will also be an exclusive introductory price marked pack (PMP) of 10 launching at £5.70 in the Convenience and Independent channels.

Stock up on Sterling Dual Double Capsule Leaf Wrapped now to make the most of this highly successful brand. For more information on Sterling Dual Double Capsule Leaf Wrapped or any other JTI product, retailers should speak to their local JTI Sales Representative or call the help desk on 0800 163503.

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

As December rapidly approaches, Pernod Ricard UK is ramping up its festive marketing efforts, anticipating a resurgence in consumer confidence after a challenging year. The UK’s second-largest wine and spirits supplier is set to inspire consumers to choose Premium+ Spirits as the perfect gift or the ultimate addition to any home celebration. Throughout 2024, Premium+ Spirits have consistently outperformed Standard offerings, making this higher end of the sector a vital margin driver.

“Since last Christmas, consumer confidence has been on the rise and the outlook for the final month of 2024 is positive," said Chris Shead, Off-Trade Channel Director for Pernod Ricard UK. "Gifting and hosting remain two key trends and retailers should focus on increasing space in-store for Premium Spirits that act as the perfect gift or cocktail ingredient when wanting to show off in front of friends and family. Where possible, we encourage retailers to prioritise categories that have been capturing the hearts of consumers and this year, our big winners have been Altos Tequila, Kahlúa and Bumbu Rum, and we expect our Champagnes, G.H. Mumm and Perrier-Jouët, to be the toast of choice for festive parties this year.”
