In its turn, the fire occurred during a firefight or strike. Moreover, the new owner of decided not to throw a bit burnt tobacco, just to mix it to the usual tobacco leaves.

As the result there appeared an unusual new taste that many consumers like. Hence, there was born a very telling title as Lucky Strike cigarettes.

Even later, in 1917, the company became publicly disclosed in its advertising campaign that for drying of leaves tobacco is fried rather than simply dried in the sun, as did almost all manufacturers of cigarettes at that time.

Then this information was written even on packages of cigarettes. By about the middle of the last century, the company received a sponsor, and then the popularity of the brand only grew from year to year.

There was sufficient money to attract Hollywood actors to the advertising of their cigarettes. Until 1942 Lucky Strike cigarettes pack was dark green.

Then, the manufacturer made it white, at the same time starting to unwind the products among the female audience, which in those years also began to actively smoke. In some markets, all the usual red Lucky Strike disappeared from the shelves at all, and last year appeared in a new form and design.
