BRITISH American Tobacco Uganda has introduced a new cigarette brand onto the local market. Pall Mall was launched at the Centenary Park in Kampala recently.

James Mulwana, the chairman, presided over by the event. Mulwana lauded the company for continuously offering quality products.

“BAT Uganda is among the top taxpayers contributing up to sh.46.6b in cigarette excise and VAT.

“We are proud to introduce another brand that is value for money and will be meeting the demands of adult smokers in the market,” Mulwana said.

“Our company is committed to offering the best quality products and Pall Mall is among the four key global strategic brands that the BAT Group has to offer,” he added.

Pall Mall will cost sh2,000 per pack. It will be sold in all retail outlets across the country, Mulwana said. “These cigarettes will be available in red, blue and green varieties.

“They will be sold to only adult consumers,” Mulwana elaborated during the launch.

The Pall Mall brand joins BATU’s other famous global brands such as Dunhill, Kent and Lucky Strike.
