Godfrey Philips Ltd introduced B.D.V cigarettes in the early 1900's and was a popular brand up until 1948 when it was dropped.

The name B.D.V originated from BOYD & Dibrell Virginia who were the US suppliers of their tobacco. Another explaniation is that it originates from a court case in 1901 when a member of the Philips family stated in court that the B.D.V brand was an abbreviation of the Latin words "Benedictus dominus vobiscum" meaning the pipe of peace.

    Paradisi in Sole Paradisus Terrestris by John Parkinson (1567-1650)

    John Parkinson, born c1566, started his working life in medicine, beginning his apprenticeship to a London apothecary. He went on to become one of the most respected apothecaries in Britain. He was elected junior warden of the Society of Apothecaries in August 1620 but at the beginning of 1622, he asked for, and was granted, permission to give up his duties in the Society and then concentrated on his garden in London's Long Acre. Here he started researching and writing his first book: Paradisi in sole paradisus terrestris, and maintained close relations with other important English and Continental botanists, herbalists and plantsmen.
