Pall Mall Cigarettes Brand History

The world’s first-ever king-sized (85 mm) non-filtered cigarette was introduced in 1939 by the American Tobacco Company, a brand extension to the regular-sized Pall Mall which was introduced forty years earlier by Brand Pall Mall (Butler & Butler / A.T.C.) Today, Pall Mall "Famous Cigarettes" remain synonymous with quality. Filtered Pall Mall cigarettes have a smooth strong taste and are packed very tightly with tobacco making them burn slower and last longer than most other major brands. The consumer is paying less than premium price, but gets a longer smoke with a soft, pleasant taste and that is the key to the Pall Mall brand's success. Pall Mall Non-Filter is still made today. Filtered versions of Pall Mall have come and gone, beginning in 1966 with the introduction of Pall Mall Gold (the world’s first 100 mm cigarette). Filtered Pall Mall was relaunched in the United States in the early 2000s, and are still available. BAT produces Pall Mall and also Lucky Strike Click & Roll cigarettes and Dunhill Fine cut Black cigarettes.

Similarly, says Dean, teens are less likely to think their parents and other people in their lives disapprove of pot use.
