B&H (Benson & Hedges) cigarettes

Benson & Hedges is a historic British brand of cigarettes that has achieved global recognition since its founding in the late 19th century. Originally established in London, the brand quickly became synonymous with premium tobacco products, eventually earning a Royal Warrant. Over time, the ownership of the brand has been split geographically due to various corporate acquisitions and mergers.

In the Australian and international markets (excluding the US and UK/Ireland), the brand is managed by British American Tobacco (BAT). While the brand has British origins, the cigarettes sold in specific regions like Australia are typically manufactured in various global facilities owned by BAT, often in countries like South Korea or within the European Union, depending on the specific product line and supply chain logistics.

Today, the brand remains a major player in the global tobacco industry under the stewardship of British American Tobacco, a multinational corporation headquartered in London. The packaging often features mandated health warnings and plain packaging designs in line with local regulations, such as those found in Australia.
