The UK is home to two of the largest cigarette companies in the world, British American Tobacco p.l.c. (NYSE:BTI) and Imperial Brands PLC (LON:IMB.L). Naturally, this also lends Britain strong brand recognition when it comes to cigarettes. One pack of BAT’s most expensive cigarettes, 555 State Express Cigarettes, will set you back by $20, while the more expensive Treasurer Cigarettes made by The Chancellor Company go for as much as $40 a pack. Some famous pipe tobaccos are Synjeco – Holker Twist, Sullivan & Powell – Gentleman’s Mixture Original, and GQ Tobaccos – Balkan (Full) No. 1.
