 The spinnaker present on all packs since the late 1950s is meant to capitalize on the association with sailing.The original Newport had a white filter and a hint of mint; both were gone in 1969 and thus the white filter was replaced by a standard filter.The Newport Classic full flavor cigarettes were promoted for many years as a cigarette that allows you to ""Enjoy a full flavor menthol, without drowning out pure tobacco taste"".
