C.E. McConnell Ltd. was a small but renowned tobacco manufacturer based in London. Founded in 1848, it was originally selected to produce Ashton's line of tobaccos. Throughout the years they made blends for various brands including Dunhill, Ser Jacopo, and Elephant and Castle. When McConnell closed in 1989 the brand was continued on by McClelland and is now part of the Kohlhase and Kopp company.
