You like to call it “blame good tobacco." Tastes fine in a cigarette, doesn’t it? But you couldn’t buy your real Burley cigarette. Because Burley tobacco, shredded for “made” cigarettes, always lost its flavor; couldn’t be held. But an entirely new principle in cigarette making did it. Now you have Lucky Strike, the real Burley cigarette. The tobacco—it’s toasted; that does it. Think of toast, buttered hot.
