The supporters refer to the two principal cities with which Imperial Tobacco is connected. The arms of [[Bristol]] are supported by two unicorns, whilst stags support those of [[Nottingham]]. Imperial Tobacco has captured one beast from each city and harnessed it to its use with coronet and chain. It has also made the beasts its own making them erminois.
