Embassy (cigarette)
Embassy is a British brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by Imperial Tobacco.
Embassy was launched in 1914 by W.D. & H.O. Wills and was later relaunched as a coupon brand[clarification needed] in 1962.
Embassy Filter was Britain's top-selling brand from 1964 until 1970, when it was overtaken by Player's No. 6. At its peak, Embassy had 24% of the market in 1968, with one of its slogans being"Inhale to your heart's content!"
In 2001, Embassy had a 3.1% share of the UK licit cigarette market, and an estimated 4.8% share of the illicit market (based on seizures). In 2004, Embassy accounted for 24% of the premium segment of the UK market.
Embassy also has a sister brand, Embassy Regal.
In April 2014, Embassy shifted production from Nottingham to Germany and Poland.
In 2019, Embassy No. 1 Red changed its blend and cut prices. Embassy Regal remained the same.
In 1973, Embassy became the title sponsor of the new Formula One team Embassy Racing With Graham Hill, founded by two-time world champion Graham Hill. Hill was also the team's lead driver for its first two years. However, Embassy Hill struggled, securing only three points-scoring finishes in three years of racing. In 1975, Hill, his driver Tony Brise, and four other members of the team died in an accident, causing the end of the team.
