History

Winston cigarettes are manufactured by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. The brand was introduced in 1955, and became the best-selling brand of cigarettes in the United States. It held the #1 spot from 1966 to 1975. In the early part of the 21st century, Winston is still one of the top 10 brands in the U.S. As of February 1, 2006, Winston cigarettes are available as Winston Regular, Winston Lights, Winston Super Lights, and Winston One.

The cigarettes derive their name from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the town in which RJR is based.

Between 1972 and 2003, Winston was known for its sponsorship of NASCAR's premier championship, the Winston Cup. The brand also sponsored both IHRA and NHRA drag racing.
