Pall Mall Red 100s cigarettes

Pall Mall is a historic cigarette brand originally established in 1899 by the Butler & Butler Company in the United Kingdom. Named after a famous street in London, the brand was marketed as a premium alternative to other tobacco products. In 1907, it was acquired by American Tobacco, where it became a pioneer in the industry, introducing innovations like the 'King Size' and the 100mm long cigarette.

Today, the brand's ownership is split. For the international market (outside the United States), Pall Mall is owned and distributed by British American Tobacco (BAT), a multinational tobacco giant headquartered in London. Within the United States, the brand is owned by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, which is a subsidiary of Reynolds American Inc. British American Tobacco ultimately acquired Reynolds American in 2017, making BAT the global ultimate owner. Manufacturing occurs in various facilities worldwide, often aligned with regional distribution hubs, reflecting its status as one of BAT's top-selling global 'drive' brands.
