Pall Mall is a historic tobacco brand that was first introduced in 1899 by the Butler & Butler Company. It was positioned as a premium high-class cigarette and named after Pall Mall, a famous street in the St. James's area of London. The brand became a pioneer in the industry by introducing the 'king-size' cigarette standard and innovative tobacco packing methods.

Over the decades, ownership of the brand shifted through various corporate mergers. In the United States, it is distributed by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, while international rights and manufacturing are controlled by British American Tobacco (BAT). In the Netherlands and other European markets, the product is sold in standardized 'plain packaging' as mandated by health regulations, featuring prominent graphic health warnings and a uniform dark olive color across all brands to reduce visual appeal.

Today, Pall Mall is one of the leading global brands in the portfolio of British American Tobacco. While the brand has British origins, its production is decentralized across various global facilities to serve local markets, reflecting BAT's position as a multinational tobacco giant headquartered in London.
