PIEDMONT tobacco products were the "flagship" brand of the American Tobacco Company
and were widely distributed in the South and other areas. SWEET CAPORAL were 2nd and
were distributed primarily in the North. SOVEREIGN were 3rd and have been found in the
North and the South.
The other 12 (or 13) brands were not as widely distributed as the above "Big 3". One can
make the case that the scarcer T206 cards were associated with brands that were not as
popular as the Big 3.....or, very limited in their distribution. For example, the rare DRUM
cards appear to have been exclusively distributed in the St. Louis area.
