Wings is a brand of the Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation. It was first introduced to American smokers in 1929 as a popular ten cent economy brand. Later, the original dark brown label gave way to white in 1940 due to wartime ink restrictions. Around that time, the cigarette was increased to king sized.
As a subsidiary of giant British American Tobacco, Wings, along with some of B&W’s other cigarette brands were sold in Europe.
Cigarette camp edit
Camp Wings was one of the American Army camps established near Le Havre, France, in World War II. As explained in “Introducton The Cigarette Camps” at the website, The Cigarette Camps The U.S. Army Camps in the Le Havre Area 1 2
The staging area camps were named after various brands of American cigarettes the assembly area camps were named after American cities. The names of cigarettes and cities were chosen for two reasons First, and primarily, for security. Referring to the camps without an indication of their geographical location went a long way to ensuring that the enemy would not know precisely where they were. Anybody eavesdropping or listening to radio traffic would think that cigarettes were being discussed or the camp was stateside, especially regarding the city camps. Secondly, there was a subtle psychological reason, the premise being that troops heading into battle wouldn’t mind staying at a place where cigarettes must be plentiful and troops about to depart for combat would be somehow comforted in places with familiar names of cities back home (Camp Atlanta, Camp Baltimore, Camp New York, and Camp Pittsburgh, among others). By war’s end, however, all of the cigarette and city camps were devoted to departees. Many processed liberated American POWs (Prisoners of War) and some even held German POWs for a while.

As I write this in November of 2013, there’s said to be nearing 1,000 e cigarette brands in the USA alone. While the global number will be much higher and harder to calculate, we’re here to provide insight on as many brands as humanly possible.
Our five person review team personally examines and uses each brand. We test for many different aspects, and we report these findings in our comprehensive reviews.
It’s something we do because we love the industry, we love the concept of a world without nasty tar and tobacco filling the air, and we are highly experienced copywriters and bloggers.
In short, talking about these brands is something we’re very passionate about, and we feel it’s the best way we can give back to the community.
