And Tom, while the Black men I know smoke Newports (not even Kools so much any more) the Black women I know smoke VSs.
And at first I was offended by your statement, but then I realized that is the reality of what I have seen. I wonder why?

Glad You agree.
It is funny to see the mix of Peeps and what they smoke for sure.
Not all Blacks smoke Menthol and not all whites smoke non-menthol. Tobacco is Regional as any product is.
Brand Names such as Maralboro being the best example have factorys all over, USA, (Asia,Canada, Mexico and Europe), but the mix is different than what We as USAs are accustomed to. Canadians seem to be harsher.
Camel, whil not big in my store is supposed to be a blend of American and Turkish tobaccos. Turkish is supposed to be a smoother blend.
Indonesioans or the Clove Brands are lovely if You are a casual smoker, cannot do them as much as regular tobacco.
Now have Cherry, Vanilla, Mint ETC! I like for a change once in a while! Oh, just the regular cloves!
Menthols are not targeted in Black Publications only but many others.
I just cant do Menthol at all!
