Brand Pall Mall Cigarettes
The Black Butler business established Pall Mall in 1899 to cater to the wealthy upper class. It was then purchased by American Tobacco in 1907.
The business used the brand to experiment with novel concepts, such as various tobacco packing and stuffing methods. They invented the 100mm and King sizes cigarettes, both of which were hugely popular.
Pall Mall had surpassed all other cigarettes in sales in the American market by 1960. After the sales started to decline, they were phased out.
Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation acquired Pall Mall and Lucky Strike in 1994.
Ten years later, RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company acquired Brown & Williamson and continues to market the Pall Mall brand in the US while British American Tobacco markets it internationally.
