Winston is a world-renowned brand of cigarettes that was originally introduced in 1954 by the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company in the United States. Named after Winston-Salem, North Carolina, which was the hub of the tobacco industry at the time, the brand became famous for its 'Winston tastes good like a cigarette should' advertising campaign.

Today, the ownership of the brand is split between domestic and international markets. Within the United States, it remains under the ownership of ITG Brands (a subsidiary of Imperial Brands). However, the international rights, including the European market shown in the image, were acquired by Japan Tobacco (JT) in 1999. Japan Tobacco International (JTI), headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, manages the brand's production and distribution globally. For the Spanish market, products are often manufactured in JTI's large-scale facilities in Poland or Germany.
