Benson & Hedges was founded in 1873 by Richard Benson and William Hedges as Benson and Hedges Ltd. The company was formed to make cigarettes for the then Prince of Wales, Albert Edward. Alfred Paged Hedges succeeded his father in the business in 1885, the same year which Richard Benson left the business. The 1900s saw branches of Benson & Hedges Ltd. opening in the United States and Canada. In 1928, the American branch became independent, and was bought by Philip Morris in 1958 who also purchased the Canadian branch in 1960. Benson & Hedges Ltd in the UK was acquired by Gallaher Limited in 1955 (now the Gallaher Group)
A Royal Warrant was issued to the British company in 1878, after the required five years of supply to the Royal Family. This was revoked in 1999 due to a "lack of demand in the royal households". The Warrant seal, which had previously been on the flip lid of the box, was removed.
Benson & Hedges is the second most popular brand available in the UK , particularly amongst the 16-30 age range of smokers, although they are relatively expensive compared to other brands. In contrast, Benson And Hedges Silvers are somewhat cheaper. However, they have a lower tobacco and nicotine content than the Gold brand. On 1 May 2007, Gallaher introduced Benson & Hedges Black. The new 10 mg 'value for money' cigarettes are available in slide packs of 20. The slide packs (Benson and Hedges Silver and Black) are aimed towards young adult smokers.
Benson & Hedges sold in Ireland are generally identical to the UK, although prior to 2003 they were manufactured in the Republic, until the Irish production was also moved to Ballymena. Packs of below 20 in size are not sold, with only 10 packs also existing prior to the ban on small sized packs by the Irish government in 2007; and the Black/Silver variants are not lower in price - again, having been the same price even before the introduction of a minimum selling price in 2007.
Benson & Hedges Gold are the most popular cigarettes in Ireland.
In Australia Benson & Hedges are available in the following variations: Classic, Rich, Smooth, Subtle, Fine and Ultimate, the colours of the packaging being Red, Purple, Blue, Sky Blue, Grey and White respectively.
