Owner:Japan Tobacco Inc. (Japan)
OriginUSA
Manufactured:Poland

Winston is a prominent American brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by ITG Brands, a subsidiary of Imperial Tobacco, in the United States and by Japan Tobacco International (JTI) outside of the United States. Originally introduced in 1954 by the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Winston became one of the best-selling cigarette brands globally.

For most international markets, including Europe and Asia, the brand is managed by Japan Tobacco International. Manufacturing for the European market often takes place in large production hubs such as Poland or Germany, depending on regional distribution logistics. The 'Compact' line is a modern variant of the classic brand, featuring a slightly thinner diameter and a different blend, marketed to consumers looking for a 'smarter' smoking experience.
