Yes. Newport is a menthol brand, and it has been since the modern product line took shape. Every Newport cigarette sold in the United States is mentholated — there is no non-menthol Newport in the current US range, which is a common source of confusion for people who assume every brand offers both.
The brand’s whole identity
Newport was built as a menthol product from the start and never had a significant non-menthol following. That distinguishes it from Marlboro, which has a menthol variant but whose identity is full-flavour, and from Camel, which has done both. Newport’s market position is menthol, full stop.
It is, by most measures, the largest menthol cigarette brand in the US and the second-largest cigarette brand overall. That is an unusual combination — menthol is roughly a third of the US market, and Newport takes the largest share of it.
What Newport’s menthol is like
Newport is a full-strength menthol, not a mild one. The cooling is pronounced and immediate, sitting on top of a fairly robust tobacco base rather than replacing it. Compared with a Japanese menthol such as Mevius E-Series, it is heavier and sweeter; compared with ESSE Super Slim, it is dramatically stronger.
That combination — strong cooling plus full tobacco — is why Newport has such a loyal base. Mild menthols taste like air with mint. Newport does not.
The two formats we stock
Newport Menthol Box is the king-size 85mm version. Newport Menthol 100 is the 100mm version, which draws slightly cooler and gives a few more puffs. The tobacco is the same blend family; the length changes the experience more than the recipe.
Both are 20 per pack, ten packs per carton, 200 cigarettes. Both arrive boxed, not soft pack.
Where menthol cigarettes are restricted
This matters more for Newport than for any other brand, because a menthol restriction is a Newport restriction.
Three US jurisdictions have statewide bans on retail menthol cigarette sales: Massachusetts (since June 2020), California (since December 2022), and the District of Columbia. New Jersey passed legislation in early 2026 extending its flavoured-tobacco law to menthol, with an implementation period — check current status before ordering. Separately, several hundred cities and counties have their own local restrictions, and those can apply even in states with no statewide ban.
There is no federal menthol ban. The FDA proposed one in 2022 and withdrew the proposal in January 2025.
If you are ordering menthol into a restricted jurisdiction, the restriction applies to retail sale there, and it is your responsibility to know your local rules. We do not filter orders by state.
Why people ask
Two reasons, usually. First, the packaging no longer says “menthol” in large type on every variant, so a buyer unfamiliar with the brand may not be certain. Second, the phrase “Newport Non-Menthol” circulates online as a search term even though no such US product exists in the current line.
If you want a non-menthol cigarette from us, Marlboro Red, Marlboro Gold, Mevius Sky Blue and Seven Stars are the four we carry.
