Newport news provides the best read on Lorillard, the #3 cigarette maker in the US (behind Philip Morris USA and Reynolds American). Newport, Lorillard's flagship brand, is the best-selling menthol cigarette and second-largest cigarette brand in the US. It generates about 90% of Lorillard's sales by volume. Other brands include the premium and discount lines of Kent, Max, Old Gold, Satin, True, and Maverick. The company sells its products primarily to wholesale distributors. Lorillard was named the Carolina Group until 2008, when it split from former parent Loews. Founded in 1760 by French immigrant Pierre Lorillard, it is the nation's oldest continuously operating tobacco firm.
