USA cig brands no longa on the market

[kenny001]

I can think of a few US-based cig brands that are no longa in existence.

Twist was a menthol brand from the 70s with a touch of lemon in the taste. I guess that brand didn't last long cause not too many smokers liked the taste of lemon mint cigs.

I heard of anotha brand from the 70s that were wintergreen-flavored cigs. But me dunno the name of the brand....me saw the ad on the back cover of a 1974 Ebony mag.

Speaking of cig ads in the 60s and 70s, big tobacco made smoking cigs sound like eating candy within their ads back then. Cigs are betta for your health than sugary candy, that's for sure. LOL!!

Sterling (a menthol brand from the early 90s), Newport Reds from the early 80s, Newport Stripes/Newport 120s, and Alpine (a menthol brand) are some more US brands no longa on the market.

I think Alpine is actually available outside of the US though.

I'm sure some on here have some old cig brands that they miss seeing in the 21st century.
