THE way you like it, exactly thick, savory butter
melting on top; tender and juicy. It's "toasted," isn't

And for exactly .the same reason you'll like Lucky Strike Cigarettes.
The Burley tobacco it's toasted. Puts in a new flavor, and seals it in .
that's what toasting does to Burley tobacco.
A new creation in cigarettes
New, different there is no other cigarette with this new toasted flavor.
You can compare it to your morning toast when it's buttered hot.
LUCKY STRIKE is the real Burley cigarette, too another entirely
new idea. You know Burley tobacco you've been pouring it out
of green, blue and red tin boxes for years. Now get the Burley flavor
toasted in a cigarette, and join the LUCKY STRIKE smoke circle today.
It's toasted
