B&H is one of the most beloved tobacco names in the world, with a history and reputation that others envy. According to Denis Hedges, the reputation of BENSON & HEDGES is built over many, many years of careful studies of detail, quality and design. B&H epitomizes the fine art of progressing while remaining elegant and unique because the brand has always dictated its modern and progressive evolution since 1873.
