Hello! I'm a huge fan of Formula One, and I also enjoy significantly reducing my health. As a man with little else to do, I've set myself a pointless challenge, before my lungs manifest into tumorous gloop.
I was wondering about all the tobacco brands that sponsored the Formula One (from any time period, 70's to present), as I'd like to try each of the cigarettes, and give my verdict on them.
So far, I have sampled:
John Player Special
Marlboro Reds
Rothermans
Lucky Strike
Unfortunately, I can't really think of any more off the top of my head. Are there any avid fans of said sport that could possibly help me out?
Thank you very much!
P.S- Please, no lectures about the dangers of smoking, or my reasoning to undertake such an endeavour. =D
Suggestion:
You forgot a big one: West
And there is one more issue, British American Tobacco is a company that produces many brands of cigarettes. British American Tobacco Brands include: Dunhill, Kent, Lucky Strike, Pall Mall, Vogue, Rothmans, Peter Stuyvesant, Benson & Hedges, Winfield, John Player, State Express 555, KOOL, and Viceroy. However, British American Tobacco does not necessarily own the rights to all of these brands in every nation they are marketed. Well, looks like your job just god bigger. Enjoy!

Benson & Hedges sponsored Jordon racing ( 1996) i think was the year.
Camel used to sponsor a team but can't remember what team.
Mild Seven aka Lucky strike. The company returned to F1 sponsorship in 1983 with the Barclay brand which supported Arrows, Williams and ultimately Jordan in 1992
Silk cut rings a bell but i think that was Le Mans and not F1.
Just found this if it helps, includes all the used sponsors from 1970 until 1999
