m Removed word 'English' from 'English brand of cigarette'. The intended phrase was undoubtedly "UK brand", but since the article goes on to mention the international markets for this brand it is clearly incorrect to call it either an English or a UK brand. |

Mayfair is a brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by Gallaher Group, a subsidiary of Japan Tobacco.
History
Mayfair cigarettes were launched in 1992 in the United Kingdom with the slogan "A good smoke at a fair price." The brand is Gallaher Group's leading value cigarette brand. Mayfair is one of the least expensive cigarette brands in the UK, despite its name being chosen to create connection with a London district, Mayfair.[1]
By 2007, Mayfair had become the second-most popular cigarette brand in the UK, with total sales of £663 million.[2]
In 2012, for the brand's 20th anniversary, Japan Tobacco International produced a limited-edition pack.[3]
Markets
Mayfair cigarettes are mainly sold in the United Kingdom and Ireland, but also in Austria, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Poland, Greece, Australia, and Canada.[4][5][6]
Products
The brand is available in seven versions: Mayfair White King Size, Mayfair Original Blue King Size and Superkings, and Mayfair Sky Blue King Size and Superkings. Mayfair also made a menthol cigarette called Mayfair Green, sold in King Size and Superkings, until it was discontinued in May 2020 due to the EU menthol ban. After the menthol ban, Mayfair introduced a new cigarette, Mayfair New Green, a non-menthol alternative.[7]
