Lambert & Butler Virginia cigarettes

Lambert & Butler is an iconic British cigarette brand that was originally established in Clerkenwell, London, in 1834. Founded by Charles Lambert and Charles Butler, it grew to become one of the most recognizable tobacco brands in the United Kingdom. In the early 20th century, it was one of the founding members of the Imperial Tobacco Company, formed to compete against American tobacco interests entering the British market.

Today, the brand is owned by Imperial Brands (formerly Imperial Tobacco Group), a multinational tobacco company headquartered in Bristol, United Kingdom. While the brand has deep British roots, manufacturing transitioned away from the UK following the closure of major domestic factories in the 2010s. Production now takes place across various international facilities within the Imperial Brands global supply chain to serve markets such as Australia, where this specific plain-packaged variant is sold.
