Wings (cigarette)

Wings is a brand of cigarette currently produced by Japan Tobacco International. It is available in Red, Gold, and Menthol in both Kings and 100's. It is one of JTI's three United States brands, along with Wave and Export A.

History

Prior to being owned by Japan Tobacco International, Wings was a brand of the Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation. It was first introduced to American smokers in 1929 as a popular ten-cent economy brand. Later, the original dark brown label gave way to white in 1940 due to wartime ink restrictions. Around that time, the cigarette was increased to king-sized.

As a subsidiary of giant British American Tobacco, Wings, along with some of B&W's other cigarette brands were sold in Europe.
