T&W original
Thornton & White cigarettes were created based on Virginia blend, consisting of over 20 varieties of Virginia tobacco from its crucial habitats. The unique blend was recreated by experts from Alliance One (North Carolina) using the recipes for one of the most popular tobacco brands of early 20th century. As luck would have it, a company blender inherited it from one of his ancestors who came from England.
The compound tube filter allows rendering the quality and strength of that English blend to the full and enjoying its rich characteristic full flavor.
UTF Group Inc. NEVER uses recycled tobacco (or reconstituted tobacco) in its products. We utilize only natural and quality tobacco.

Thornton & White. Gentlemen of fortune
To understand the real value of Thornton & White cigarettes, you need to know their story.
It’s 1916 and WWI is in progress. Meet Sir Daniel Thornton and Sir Stephen White. They might have never met and never been real friends, but the war was life-changing for each of them.
As grown men, Thornton and White met at the heat of the battle on the Somme, the biggest bloodshed of the First World War. They were in the same division and soon became friends. Both were optimists, brave warriors, and loyal fans of English tobacco. Together, these war time friends smoked roll-your-own cigarettes that were popular back then. Indeed, tobacco let them take a break for a moment and feel the taste of life, which was becoming weaker and weaker every day because of the war. Having miraculously survived, these two gentlemen did not part: Their friendship grew stronger despite all the troubles in their lives.
After the war, they founded a gentlemen’s club in London, which brought together enthusiasts of English tobacco traditions. They discussed politics, remembered the war and smoked their favorite tobacco. “Here we have genuine English tobacco for genuine English gentlemen,” Sir Thornton and Sir White used to say about their club. The assembly was very popular and existed throughout the end of the 20th century.
We found out about it by accident researching the history of English tobacco smoking. And then we had an idea of creating our own English blend cigarettes. The story of those two war heroes and inseparable English tobacco connoisseurs inspired us to make a new discovery in the tobacco universe. We came up with the name Thornton & White at once. Our blenders developed a unique Perfect English blend: A perfectly balanced blend of American tobacco made by strictly following English recipes. We put the idea of true friendship and staying true to your ideals at the heart of full-flavored Thornton & White cigarettes. Those cigarettes are for modern gentlemen and impeccable English quality connoisseurs!
Thornton & White. Noble taste.
