Mevius, formerly known as 'Mild Seven', underwent a global rebranding in 2012, solidifying its position as Japan Tobacco's flagship international premium brand. Launched in 1977, Mevius has built a reputation for its signature "smooth" taste, a characteristic attributed to its high-grade shredded tobacco. This dedication to quality has ensured its consistent reign as Japan's top-selling cigarette brand for over four decades, reflecting its enduring appeal and consumer trust.
