Produced by Imperial Tobacco Canada (a subsidiary of British American Tobacco, not affiliated with this Imperial Tobacco), the brand is named after Sir Gerald du Maurier, a British actor and manager.

The packaging is red with the brand name and logo on the front and back of the package. Du Maurier also markets "Special Mild" (silver pack), "Avanti" and "Avanti Light" (dark red pack) cigarettes. They are also available in regular (70 mm) and king size (84 mm); a 100 mm DuMaurier has also been released.
