Canadian Tabacofina Ltd.
Though the history of Canadian Tobacofina Ltd., which was started in the mid-1950s in Montréal, has largely been forgotten, it can be said with certainty that it was a subsidiary of Tobacofina Vander Elst, a cigarette company in the Benelux region which was later taken over by British American Tobacco. The C.T.C. crest, which was used on Tabacofina’s brands, was registered as a Canadian trade mark in 1957.
The company made a handful of brands, two of which, Belvedere and Mark Ten, have survived to the present day. In 1962, Canadian Tabacofina was purchased by Benson & Hedges (Canada) Ltd., which continued to use the C.T.C. crest on their acquired brands until the mid-1960s.
