Lucky Strike

Those familiar with American cigarette culture will tell you that it doesn’t get more traditional than Lucky Strike when it comes to smokes. The early to mid-20th century saw American consumers being rocked by Lucky Strike’s phenomenal marketing plan. The company reached the top place in cigarette sales consequently. It was in 1976 that Lucky Strike joined forces with British American Tobacco. Then, in 1994, the British business acquired the American Tobacco Company, which included Pall Mall and Lucky Strike as its subsidiaries. Despite having seen a lot of shifting around, Lucky Strike continues to be fondly regarded as an American standard in cigarette and pop culture. Mad Men fans will know this brand very well.
