Newport cigarettes first went on sale in 1957. Their homeland is the small town of Greensboro, located in North Carolina, USA. A distinctive feature of the newly-made tobacco brand was the menthol taste. There are enough brands in the world that, in an attempt to cover a new segment of the market, produce a series of cigarettes with a menthol flavor, but the creators of Newport originally developed a tobacco mixture for a menthol additive, so that the taste of cigarettes turned out to be balanced.
Interestingly, these days, American Newport cigarettes occupy 35% of the market for menthol tobacco products, which is very impressive, evidence of their popularity and quality. However, on sale you can find cigarettes of this brand with a traditional taste and aroma, which only strengthens its competitive position.
Fragrant Virginia and bright menthol aroma with refreshing coolness – a cocktail of flavors of Newport cigarettes will not leave anyone indifferent. They are smoked by young and old, poor and rich. It is worth emphasizing that the greatest demand for products is in Latin America! Regular and elongated cigarettes with a filter are available for sale. However, whichever cigarette package you choose, you can be sure that the “gold standard” of menthol tobacco products will be in your hands. It is noteworthy that the brand is often compared to the Newport Jazz Festival of the same name: musicians created immortal works that others looked up to, while tobacco growers produced the world’s best menthol cigarettes, which became the “gold standard of quality” for others!
Newport cigarettes come in several types: Full Flavour, Medium and Lights. In the U.S., in June 2010, the Medium and Lights brands were renamed Blue and Gold, respectively. On the box, the words “Menthol Box” for shorts and “Menthol Box 100s” for 100 were replaced simply by “Cigarettes”. Each variety is sold in soft packs of 85 mm (royal size), hard packs of 80 mm (box) and soft and hard packs of 100 mm.
