Who Makes Winston: JTI in Europe, ITG Brands in the USA
Outside the United States, the brand is produced and sold by Japan Tobacco International (JTI), the international tobacco division of Japan Tobacco Inc. JTI was formed in 1999, when Japan Tobacco Inc. acquired the non-US tobacco business of R.J. Reynolds, a transaction that moved the international rights to the brand and to Camel. JTI is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. Its parent, Japan Tobacco Inc., is based in Tokyo, is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and counts Japan’s Minister of Finance among its principal shareholders, with a holding of about one third. Further details appear on JTI’s official site.
JTI’s European production network includes its largest production centre in the world, at Stary Gostków in Poland, and a further production site in Trier, Germany. Winston is listed among the brands of JTI Polska and JT International Germany, the two national companies that operate those sites.
Inside the United States, the brand is owned and manufactured by ITG Brands LLC, a subsidiary of Imperial Brands plc. ITG Brands received Winston, Salem, Kool and Maverick in 2015 under the divestiture ordered when Reynolds American merged with Lorillard. JTI’s other international brands include Camel, LD and Mevius, and the group has produced Benson & Hedges outside the United States since acquiring Gallaher in 2007.

Winston’s 1954 Launch and the Winston-Salem Name
R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company introduced Winston in 1954 as a filtered cigarette, a launch that made it the first nationally popular filtered cigarette in the United States. The brand takes its name from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the city where R.J. Reynolds was headquartered.
Two format developments followed under JTI ownership: the Super Slims line reached travel retail in 2007, and Japan Tobacco Inc. launched a Compact line in Japan in 2017.
Leaf and Filter: What Winston Is Built From
JTI states that its cigarette blends are built from three main leaf types: Virginia, Burley and Oriental tobacco. The cigarettes stocked on this page fall within that published leaf classification.
At the 1954 launch, the construction paired the blend with a cellulose acetate filter, and the brand is recorded in the tobacco literature as the first big-selling brand to use one. Cigarettes sold in the European Union are required to meet the reduced ignition propensity standard EN 16156.

Winston was introduced in 1954 by the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company as a filtered cigarette, and the launch made it the first nationally popular filtered cigarette in the United States. The name comes from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the city where R.J. Reynolds was headquartered.
JTI states that its cigarette blends are built from three main leaf types: Virginia, Burley and Oriental tobacco. Winston, produced by JTI outside the United States, sits within that published classification, and the brand’s 1954 design paired the blend with a cellulose acetate filter.
Every cigarette carton stocked on this page holds 10 packs of 20, a total of 200 cigarettes. Four formats are covered: King Size, 100’s, Compact and Super Slims. The hand-rolling tobacco is supplied in 85 g, 145 g and 230 g packs rather than cartons.
The filter material used at the 1954 launch was cellulose acetate, and Winston is recorded in the tobacco literature as the first big-selling brand to use a cellulose acetate filter. Cellulose acetate remains the standard filter material in cigarette manufacture. The four formats stocked here are all filter cigarettes.
