Winston Blue

Winston cigarettes is one of the most popular tobacco brands of our time and gained huge popularity around the world. Value for money – the ideal components of cigarettes, whose history began back in 1875. Every year the brand continues to grow and develop, releasing new products to the market, covering all segments of the international tobacco market.

For many years, the city of Winston, located in North Carolina, remained the ordinary small city in the United States. Its place in history has changed in 1875, when Richard Joshua Reynolds, founder of RJ Reуnolds Tobacco Company, built the first factory for the production of tobacco products. First, the company produced various types of chewing tobacco, popular in America and around the world. Then the range expanded to pipe tobacco and cigarettes.

The Reynolds Empire made its first triumphant breakthrough when it released the famous Camel cigarettes on the market. American smokers were fed up with strong tobacco and standard taste, which was sold by all brands, the audience was in dire need of a qualitatively new product. They were Winston's cigarettes.

Filter cigarettes were first created in Europe and soon became the No. 1 product among local smokers. American manufacturers picked up the trend and began to develop their own product. The developers have set the task to keep a strong, rich taste, but to provide a reliable filter cigarette.

Experts of RJ Reunolds Tobacco used a special tobacco blend, which quickly became popular and gained worldwide fame under the “American Blend” name. A distinctive feature of the bouquet was the addition to the classic blend of Burley tobacco sort, fermented with the latest technology of heat treatment to create a light caramel aftertaste.

These innovations were used to produce a new type of cigarette, which was named after the city where they were created. Thus, American smokers received a modern tobacco product. In 1954 Winston cigarettes saw the world and started to climb the path to glory.

The first advertising slogan of the company was: “Winston tastes good like a cigarette should”. There was an obvious grammatical error and the brand was flooded with accusations of illiteracy.

It is unknown whether the mistake was accidental or it was made intentionally, but it attracted attention to cigarettes. Then the second advertising slogan shot out: “What do you want, good grammar or good taste?”, and Winston's sales increased dramatically. For 2 years, Winston has become the most successful tobacco brand, and sales reached 21 billion cigarettes a year.

Currently, Winston cigarettes are in the top list of the most purchased cigarettes in the world. In United States their production is still in the RJ Reуnolds Tobacco Company, in other parts of the world it produced by other companies.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the global cigarette market has undergone important changes. The preferences of smokers have changed, the audience demanded new tastes and forms, so the company announced the release of an updated line of products with improved taste characteristics and sophisticated design.
