Sterling Cigarettes is a British tobacco brand currently produced by Gallaher Group under Japan Tobacco International. Initially launched in the mid-20th century, Sterling Cigarettes was discontinued in the 1970s but reintroduced in the UK market in 2006. The brand offers multiple variants: Sterling Original Red delivers full-strength tobacco, Sterling Blue features a milder blend, Sterling Green provides menthol cooling, and Sterling Dual Capsule includes a filter-based menthol capsule for adjustable flavor.

In 2020, Sterling Cigarettes expanded its portfolio with the Sterling Dual Capsule Leaf Wrapped cigarillo, combining tobacco leaf wrapping with a menthol capsule.

Sterling Cigarettes targets cost-conscious consumers through competitive pricing while maintaining standardized production methods. The brand's reintroduction strategy focused on retaining classic design elements like the metallic logo and color-coded packaging. Historical sales data indicates Sterling Cigarettes held notable market presence in the UK's mid-tier segment prior to its 1970s discontinuation, with modern iterations emphasizing filter technology updates and regulatory compliance.
