Together, no one can stop us. No doubt that is what R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings (RJR) and Brown & Williamson were thinking when the two merged to create Reynolds American. R.J. Reynolds has been smoking for more than 120 years, but increasing competition and the need to cut costs encouraged the #2 US tobacco company to merge with #3 Brown & Williamson. Reynolds American still trails the Altria Group (owner of Philip Morris), which steers about half of the US tobacco market. RJR's Camel and Salem brands are among the top-selling cigarettes in the US. The firm also sells Kool and Lucky Strike brands. Brown & Williamson's former parent British American Tobacco owns nearly 42% of Reynolds American.
