In Canada the name Marlboro is owned by Imperial Tobacco but the rights to the actual product is owned by Rothmans, Benson & Hedges (RBH) now owned by Phillip Morris.

RBH sells Marlboro cigs under the name Rooftop. They are the exact same as the ones sold in the states (same factory) and have the same packaging but have no Marlboro name on them. They are available in red gold and silver. We sell them in our gas station but they maybe hard to find do to the lack of space for retailers and because they are slow sellers.

Canadian Marlboro has nothing to do with the US Marlboro's it was just Imperial Tobacco using the name to get customers.
