The Vector Group, the holding company for the Liggett Group and Vector Tobacco, agreed to buy Medallion, the discount cigarette maker, for $110 million. Vector will pay $75 million in cash and $35 million in notes for Medallion, which sells USA, Virginian and Marlin cigarettes. Buying Medallion gives Vector added protection to produce cigarettes without being subject to per-pack assessments accepted by the tobacco industry in its settlement with 46 states. Under that accord, Medallion can produce 60 million packs a year, a 0.28 percent share of the United States market, without paying the states. Vector can make about 350 million packs, a 1.67 percent market share.
