Made by good old RJ Reynolds Company, Winstons have been around since 1954 and became popular with the slogan of "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should". Like Spirits, they are now additive free. According to a couple of online forums, liberal, intellectual, stoner, mid-20's females are the main consumer of Winston cigarettes in US.
They come in Red (Full Flavor), Gold (Light), and White (Ultra Light). Consumer reviews tell me that they give a good "burn effect" and go down smooth, tasting "like Marlboro Light should". They're sweeter than a Camel with more tar than many other cigarettes.
I liked this review:
I discovered Winston by bumming one from an old crusty guy I used to work with. Definitely deserves the stereotype. A little cheap tasting, but one of the strongest full flavor cigarettes available, with a wooden, almost mulchy taste. I suppose the heaviness is what attracts people to the brand, but it's difficult for me to enjoy smoking them regularly.
This was an ad from the 1960s:
Winstons deserve a chance as they were the leading brand in America from 1966 to 1972. They're also really popular in Puerto Rico and are advertised and "salsa sensual".
