Winston is one of the ten most popular cigarette brands in the United States. The cigarettes of this brand are manufactured by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and take their name from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Winston cigarettes were first produced in 1875 when Joshua Reynolds was 25 and started tobacco chewing. Winston cigarettes offer to the people choosing them unique smoking experience because of the kind of tobacco they use called Burley (high in nicotine, low in sugar and tends to smolder very slowly, making your smoking a much more delightful process). Winston cigarettes are free of additives and for that reason preferred by many people that appreciate not only the process of smoking a cigarettes, but also the pure taste of tobacco. For about 9 years – from 1966 to 1975 this brand of cigarettes help the number one spot in the USA by popularity and during more than 30 years (from 1972 to 2003) it is known to have sponsored Nascar premier championship, the Winston Cup. Winston is also famous because of its catchy slogan that goes "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should" and this is the only brand to have targeted so many different groups of population trying to remain on top – including American Jews, African Americans and Caucasians. There has been plenty of controversy over the slogan believed to be incorrect from the point of view of grammar – instead of "like" there is supposed to be "as". The company, however, was quick to respond to the accusations and released a poster with an Afro-American woman and man. The dialogue between them goes (the women is shown to smoke a cigarettes): Woman: Winston tastes good like a cigarette should. Man: You mean, as a cigarettes should… Woman: What do you want – good grammar or good taste? Man: I want your phone number. This way the company also introduced a new slogan – "What do you want – good grammar or good taste?" In spite of all that controversy and thanks to smart marketing strategies and exceptional quality, Winston cigarettes remain one of the world's top brands. The taste of Winston cigarettes is described as exceptionally rich and truly sweet. They are produced from natural tobacco only with their natural taste giving you the mildness you don't usually get created by water, sun and land. Smoking this brand can be a real pleasure, and in addition to the excellent quality the brand is not the most expensive one, which makes millions of people from different countries of the world choose it among many other ones.
