Re: Registration Statement on Form S-4 of Reynolds American Inc. and Additional

Registrants (the “Registration Statement”)

SEC File Nos.: 333-207802 through 333-207802-12

Dear Mr. Field:

The undersigned registrants hereby request that the Securities and Exchange Commission accelerate the effective time and date of the above-referenced Registration Statement, and declare such Registration Statement effective as of 3:00 p.m., Washington, D.C. time, on Wednesday, November 18, 2015, or as soon thereafter as practical. The registrants also request that they be notified telephonically (by telephone call to the individuals listed at the end of this request letter) of the date and time of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and that the Commission subsequently transmit the written order of effectiveness to the registrants.

In connection with this request, the undersigned registrants hereby acknowledge that:

 

    should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Registration Statement;

 

    the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective, does not relieve the registrants from their full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement; and

 

    the registrants may not assert the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
