Wings is an American brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by Japan Tobacco. As a subsidiary of giant British American Tobacco, Wings, along with some of B&W's other cigarette brands were sold in Europe.
History
Wings was launched in 1929 by Brown & Williamson as a popular ten-cent economy brand. Wings cigarettes were a product of the Great Depression. While regular cigarettes cost 25¢ for two packs, Wings packs sold for 10¢ each.[1] Later, the original dark brown label gave way to white in 1940 due to wartime ink restrictions. Around that time, the cigarette length was increased to king-size. It is one of JTI's United States brands.[2]
It is available in Red, Gold, and Menthol in both Kings and 100s.
