Thanks Lummox & philofumo, it just never clicked with me. I checked the records and found the 2 "Rugby" brand names were under cigarettes and not tobacco. (it was still a good result for England) yesterday.
This "Badminton" brand produced by R &J Hill of Great Eastern St, London EC 2. Founded in 1775, in Shoreditch, London E. (Factory Known as Badminton Tobacco Works). The company operated the following companies: Wood Bros--Leeds--H Archer & Co, London. Strathmore Tobacco Co, Gold & Co, Birmingham. They started producing cigarettes in 1897 and some of their popular brands included "Sunripe", "Spinet Ovals" "Front Rank" "London Idol" and many others.
