Juno (cigarette)
Juno was a German brand of cigarettes, owned and manufactured by Reemtsma, a subsidiary of Imperial Tobacco. The brand was discontinued in 2016.
Juno was launched in 1896 with new Virginia tobaccos from the Berliner Cigarettenfabrik "JOSETTI". To distinguish between flat oriental cigarettes with an oval cigarette cross section, a thick and round shape was chosen. The slogan of the launch phase was "Thick and round", also to be found on the cigarette packs of the Gründerzeit. The name "Josetti Juno" was registered on February 9, 1898 at the DPMA under no. 34169. and is still maintained by the Hamburg Reemtsma Cigarettenfabriken GmbH.
The Berlin company was founded in 1888 by Oskar Josetti at the Hamburger Straße 8. In 1892 the founder emigrated to the United States and sold the company for 500 Deutsche Mark, who, together with his partner Leopold Peters, continued the company in 1895 as "Cigarettenfabrik Josetti, Inh. Meier & Peters oHG" in 1895. New premises in the Rosenthaler Straße 40, in the new Friedrichstrasse 9-10 in Hamburg and at the Zeughaus market 35-37 (1896-1902) had to be rented to produce the new cigarette. During this time, the Berlin Cigarettenfabrik Manoli with 200 workers belonged to the largest industry in the German Empire.
During World War I, a state-run anti-trust campaign financed by Deutsche Bank was conducted against foreign holdings. In 1915, Deutsche Bank was able to buy back foreign shares in Jasmatzi AG.
A Reemtsma (Hamburg)-dominated interest group (IG) of several cigarette manufacturers such as Jasmatzi AG (Berlin), Yenidze GmbH (Dresden) and Constantin KG (Hanover, Dresden) was formed after the hyperinflation of 1923/24. in 1928, Reemtsma AG began a process of consolidation in the course of which they absorbed all their competitors into a single company with 14,000 employees by 1935.
During World War II, the JUNO-cigarette end of 1943 was abruptly withdrawn from the market, as apparently the manufacturing plant in Berlin had been destroyed by air strikes.
After World War II had ended, Germany got split up into Allied-occupied Germany and through the division of Berlin was the German Democratic Republic in the possession of the former Josetti company documents (VEB Josetti), and the "Ost-JUNO" ("East JUNO" ) production (flat and oval) was incorporated into VEB Tabak Nordhausen. Reemtsma Hamburg produced from March 5, 1951 a "West JUNO" (thick and round) variant in Berlin. Later in the GDR followed the "Format 100 Juno Filter", these cigarettes had to demonstrate the superiority of the socialist system in everyday life through their extra length.
In the 1970s, the "West Juno" was first limited to the filter version and then withdrawn from the market due to poor sales, only in 1983 was a renewed placement in the German market. Reemtsma has since distributed the JUNO 100 ("traditional blend tobacco"), as well as the JUNO ("German blend tobacco", "long and round").
