The brand of Pall Mall cigarettes has repeatedly passed to a new owner

The global tobacco industry offers consumers many different cigarettes. Among them there are those that remain in demand for many decades and will eventually be real legends. With great confidence we can say that there are few people on the planet who have not heard about the tobacco brand “Pall Mall”. The company was created by the company “Butler & Butler Company” and the first samples of cigarettes went into production back in 1899. Initially, according to the manufacturer’s plans, this premium product was intended for the elite stratum of society.

There are 2 versions about the origin of the name: The stamp is named after London’s Pall Mall, which during the Victorian era was home to many clubs visited by English gentlemen. In the XVII century, a game using a ball (palla) and a blade (maleus) was popular. The brand of Pall Mall cigarettes has repeatedly passed to a new owner. The first time this happened was in 1907. The new owner was the company “American Tobacco”.

The brand tested and tested design and innovative ideas. In 1939, a format called “king-size” was invented, in which the length of a cigarette should be 84 mm. Subsequently, it becomes a classic size. The peak of the brand’s popularity was in 1960. Then Pall Mall cigarettes became the N1 cigarette brand in the United States of America. In those days, gambling advertisements were placed on the packages. This significantly increased sales.

Since 2004, 2 organizations have been engaged in the manufacture of Pall Mall cigarettes: R.J. Reynolds Tobacco provides the U.S. domestic market. The ancient enterprise, created in 1874, is at this point in time the 2nd largest American manufacturer of cigarettes.

“British American Tobacco” exports tobacco products to many countries of the world. This is a large British concern, founded more than a century ago. It produces about 200 cigarette brands, many of which are known around the world. “British American Tobacco” opened its representative office in our country in 1991. The organization owns 2 factories and produces several tens of billions of Pall Mall cigarettes per year.
