Prince Albert is an American brand of hand-rolled-cigarette and pipe tobacco, introduced by the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company in 1907. It has been owned since 1987 by John Middleton Inc. 

Prince Albert is one of the more popular independent brands of pipe tobacco in the United States; in the 1930s, it was the “second largest money-maker” for Reynolds.

The tobacco was named after Edward VII , who was known as Prince Albert before being crowned as the King of the United Kingdom. The portrait of Prince Albert was based on one acquired by Reynolds at a tea party with Mark Twain.
