Kingsway was launched in January 1959,[4] and several advertising campaigns were launched in the 1960s for the brand to gain more popularity, like for example in Ireland.[5][6]
Kingsway was a popular cigarette brand in the 1960s and 1970s, but eventually lost appeal and disappeared from the European market after the 1980s.[7] In Asia, and especially in Malaysia, the brand is still popular and sold today. Their slogan was "Smoke the BIG way... the Modern way."[8]
Various cigarette lighters, tin boxes and ashtrays of Kingsway were also sold.[9][10][7]
The brand was or still is sold in the United Kingdom, Ireland, West Germany and Malaysia.[11][12]
