BTW - when I was growing up, Newport was the choice of cigarettes among African Americans.

When I was growing up the favorite was Cools. I don't know if this brand still exists

When I worked in a drug store it was Kools or Newports and every now and then a Salem.

'Newport was the choice of cigarettes among African Americans.'
A very excellent cigarette. I used to smoke these myself. All menthol cigarettes are popular with black folks, for whatever reason, I don't know. Black people also drink more tea than white people, in general. Again, I don't know what accounts for these taste differences. I used to work in a coffee shop, that's how I learned about the tea. Blacks, Jews and old people prefer tea, but in all it doesn't make enough of a difference, Americans drink tons of coffee to cups of tea.
All I can say is, if you want Menthol, smoke Newports!
