#1 menthol. #2 overall.
Newport is the flagship menthol brand in the US, owned by R.J. Reynolds (a Reynolds American subsidiary of British American Tobacco).
Newport was launched in 1957 by Lorillard, originally based in New York City. Lorillard was acquired by Reynolds American in 2015; Reynolds American itself was acquired by British American Tobacco in 2017. Newport is now a flagship brand of R.J. Reynolds. The brand is the #1 menthol cigarette in the US by sales and #2 best-selling cigarette brand overall, behind only Marlboro.
Menthol cigarettes have faced increasing regulatory pressure. The FDA proposed a ban on menthol as a characterizing flavor in April 2022. That proposed rule has been delayed multiple times and remains under review as of mid-2026. If enacted, Newport Menthol would be affected; Newport Red (non-menthol) would remain available.

A New York brand with North Carolina roots.
