| General info : | | Salem is an American brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by ITG Brands LLC, a subsidiary of Imperial Tobacco, inside the U.S. and by Japan Tobacco outside the United States.
Salem was launched in 1956 by the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company as the first filter-tipped Menthol cigarette. When the brand was introduced in 1956, Salem's slogan was "Take a puff, it's springtime" which was used for several years afterwards.
Its name (along with that of the Winston brand) derives from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the city where RJR was founded and headquartered.
In 2015, Salem was sold to Imperial Tobacco Group as a divestiture during Reynolds' acquisition of Lorillard Tobacco Company. | |
