Newport is a brand that was established in Greensboro, USA, just over half a century ago (1957). The brand takes its famous name from the Rhode Island port of the same name (Aquidneck Island). Newport cigarettes are popular among young people. Their origins began with the Lorillard Tobacco factory, established by founder Pierre Abraham Lorillard in 1760.
In 1899, the Continental Tobacco Company bought majority stakes in several tobacco companies. “Lorillard Tobacco” retained its original name, but was in fact controlled until 1911 by James Buchanan Duke, owner of the American Tobacco Company.
In 1925, Benjamin Lloyd Belt took over the management of the organization and gave it a positive impetus by organizing the promotion of the Old Gold brand.
He decided to sponsor an evening show on CBS radio featuring Paul Wightman’s famous jazz band. Belt was president until his death in 1939. In 1956, Lorillard opened a new factory in Greensboro, where the Newport cigarettes was born.
In 1968, the company was acquired by Lowe’s Corporation, but Lorillard regained its independence in 2008 when it entered into a separation agreement with Lowe’s. In 2014, the tobacco company’s management announced that it would stop animal testing of its products and committed to using reliable and scientifically recognized product testing methods as an alternative.
Not surprisingly, more and more people are now buying Newport cigarettes from online shops. To promote successfully, it is important to have up-to-date sales techniques for ordering all products. This method of product selection and purchasing has many advantages. The catalog is designed to make it quick and easy for customers to find and view the products they want.
What are Newport cigarettes?
Newport cigarettes have an attractive, feel-good green packaging, which embodies the refreshing minty taste in each cigarette, and couldn’t help but attract attention. Despite a number of manufacturers producing menthol flavored cigarettes, the cigarette quickly became popular with smokers in the US and Europe. Reynolds American offered many varieties, including full flavor, medium and light flavors. After the rebranding, they became known as Newport Box (full flavor), Newport Blue (medium) and Newport Gold (light). Newport’s strongest tobacco is the second strongest among many cigarettes and contains 1.4 mg of nicotine and 18 mg of tar. All types are available in 85 mm soft packs, 80 mm hard packs and 100 mm packs. Each pack contains 20 cigarettes (standard number of cigarettes), although packs of 25 cigarettes are also available on the tobacco market.
