Imperial Brands is a tobacco company that sells cigarettes, fine-cut tobacco, cigars, rolling papers, and some next-generation nicotine products such as vaping and heated-tobacco items. Its brands are sold through retailers, convenience stores, wholesalers, and duty-free channels in many markets around the world.

The company makes money mainly by selling branded tobacco and nicotine products to distributors and retailers, who then sell them to adult consumers. It also earns income from pricing its brands, keeping shelf space with retailers, and selling products that are used repeatedly rather than bought once.

What makes Imperial Brands different is that it sits near the center of the tobacco value chain: it owns the brands, manages product development and packaging, and relies on a wide network of third-party sellers to reach shoppers. That gives it a business built around recurring demand, strong brand recognition, and tight control over distribution in a heavily regulated industry.
