Delving into the rich history of Rothmans, this sign pays homage to its origins, tracing back to 1890 when Louis Rothman established a modest kiosk on Fleet Street in London. The brand's evolution continued, culminating in the opening of a remarkable showroom in Pall Mall in 1900. Here, the very same brand of cigarettes that would eventually define an era was brought to life, a testament to the ingenuity and success of this economic venture.



Fast forward to 1982, a pivotal moment when Rothmans made a bold wager on the World Endurance Championship, forging a partnership with Porsche for the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans race. The harmonious fusion of Rothmans' distinct colors with the awe-inspiring Porsche 956 proved to be a match made in racing heaven. A marketing triumph unfolded as the collaboration clinched an extraordinary 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finish, etching their names in the annals of motorsport history.
