Winston Cigarettes: A Comprehensive Overview

Winston remains a classic American blend cigarette, now produced by ITG Brands domestically and Japan Tobacco internationally.

Current Product Line

  • Winston Classic - Full flavor (10mg tar/0.8mg nicotine)
  • Winston Blue - Light (6mg/0.5mg)
  • Winston Silver - Ultra-light (4mg/0.3mg)
  • Winston White - Super light (1mg/0.1mg)

Tobacco Blend

All variants use a traditional American blend of Virginia and Burley tobaccos. The Classic and Silver share identical cut tobacco (light/dark yellow strips), while Blue and White use a slightly finer cut with fewer brown leaves.

Smoking Experience

Classic delivers medium-bodied smoke with mild woody notes. The draw is moderately tight, producing decent smoke volume without harshness. Burn time averages 6 minutes with stable ash.

Blue offers surprisingly sharp smoke despite its lighter rating. The tobacco flavor becomes slightly more pronounced in the final third.

Silver's perforated filter noticeably reduces smoke density while maintaining flavor. Surprisingly strong when smoked without filter.

White provides minimal smoke output and flavor, best suited for very light smokers.
