Chris Street, UK market manager at Imperial Tobacco, said: “As demand for value tobacco continues to grow, many consumers are looking for a familiar brand that they know will deliver satisfaction at a low price. Some of these shoppers are increasingly moving into Roll Your Own, but as a result, they tend to buy less frequently.

“Through these latest developments, we’re helping retailers appeal to these shoppers with a brand that benefits from over 50 years of heritage and reliable quality, with value that really delivers, to inject growth into their factory-made cigarette sales.”
