Cheap Salem cigarettes such as Salem Slim Lights 100 free cigarettes and Salem Ultra Light cigarettes have been among the most popular menthol cigarettes, and Salem cigarettes are generally among the top three brands of menthol cigarettes along with Kool and Newport brands. There are two labels of Salem cigarettes since the late nineties known as Green Label Salem cigarettes (which are more mild) and Black Label Salem cigarettes (which are harsher).

In the original line of Salem cigarettes ad spots, the tagline that was used was "You can take Salem out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the Salem." Another slogan that was used for Salem cigarettes during the late sixties (before the seventies prohibition of television and radio commercials for cigarettes) was "Springtime... it happens every Salem." Salem cigarettes may also be known as the Winston Salem cigarette, as they are named (like the Winston line of cigarettes) after the city of Winston-Salem in North Carolina where the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company was first founded in 1874.
