Player's Med Virgin Navy Cut cigarettes,10 pack2

John Player & Sons, most often known simply as Player's, was a tobacco and cigarette manufacturer based in Nottingham, England. In 1901 the company merged with twelve other companies to become a branch of the Imperial Tobacco Company of Great Britain and Ireland .

In 1901, in response to a serious competitive challenge from "Buck" Duke's American Tobacco Company, a defensive merger of thirteen British tobacco manufacturers saw Player's merged into the newly created Imperial Tobacco Company of Great Britain & Ireland. The largest constituent of Imperial Tobacco, and major driver of the amalgamation, was W. D. & H. O. Wills and the new company was run for eight years from a suite of offices located in the Wills' branch premises until a new Imperial Tobacco head office was built in Bedminster, Bristol
