The Bull Durham brand, though, grew out of an incident in Durham, North Carolina that occurred at the close of the Civil War. Soldiers from both sides raided a farmer's tobacco crop as they waited for a surrender to be completed. After returning home, these same soldiers wrote back asking for more of this tobacco. The farmer, Mr. John Green, happily obliged; the tobacco was named Bull Durham in 1868 and later became the largest selling tobacco brand in the world.
Bull Durham was originally manufactured by the American Tobacco Company; after it was bought by Brown & Williamson in 1994, the trademark was transferred to Commonwealth Brands.
