The tobacco doesn't spill out and there are ho loose ends to clinc to tins. That's be cause we pack each and every Lucky full to the brim with long, even strands' of the finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos only the center leaves. Not the top leaves because those are under-developed. ies Not the bottom leaves because those are inferior in quality. We use only the center leaves because they are the mildest and fully ripe for perfect smoini. That's why Luckies always draw easily, burn evenly and are always mild and smooth So smoke a Lucky, a fully packed ciga rette. And remember, "It's toasted" for throat protection for finer taste.
