I don't remember this brand at all from the American Tobacco Company. This is an example of how cigarettes were marketed on television in the USA before they were banned.
Philip Morris tried marketing a cigarette with "valuable coupons" in 1964 [initially featuring Richard Carlson as their spokesman]- "Galaxy" (also made available on packs of "Alpine" as well). That brand was more successful than "Colony"...
Colony Cigarettes were introduced (and apparently quickly failed) in 1967. I found this interesting tidbit about them out on the 'net: "Colony was an unsuccessful attempt by The American Tobacco Company to add a filtered coupon cigarette to the specialty brand niche dominated by Raleigh, Kool, and Alpine. An illustration of a colonial tobacco farmer rolling his hogshead to market was used for the pack graphics."
