Who Makes Lucky Strike and Owns the Trade Mark
Lucky Strike is owned by British American Tobacco p.l.c., the group founded in 1902 with headquarters in London and listings on the London Stock Exchange and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
The name was registered in 1871 by R.A. Patterson of Richmond, Virginia, for plug chewing tobacco. The Patterson business passed to the American Tobacco Company in 1905, which introduced the cigarette in 1916. BAT acquired the American Tobacco Company in 1994 and thereby added the brand to its portfolio.
In the United States, the brand is manufactured and marketed by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, part of Reynolds American Inc., which BAT has owned outright since completing the acquisition on 25 July 2017.
BAT’s subsidiary British-American Tobacco Polska S.A. operates a factory in Augustów in north-eastern Poland, where the brand is manufactured alongside Vogue, Pall Mall, Rothmans and Kent, and it has been sold on the Polish market since 1994. The group’s other global drive brands are Dunhill, Kent, Pall Mall and Rothmans, as listed on bat.com.
Which Lucky Strike Version You Receive
Every pack dispatched by this store is the EU duty-paid market version, printed for the European Union market and carrying the EU-format combined health warning. Depending on the production batch, the statutory warning text is printed in Polish or in English.
Cartons are supplied in manufacturer-sealed outers and are not repacked or split. The pack side panel carries the production code and the tax stamp for identifying the market version on arrival.
Blend, Filter and Paper Construction
British American Tobacco classifies the brand as an American blend of Virginia, Burley and Oriental leaf. A Belgian official register of notified smoking products lists the same three leaf types, with a cellulose acetate filter, in the composition of the Authentic Red variant.
The line “It’s Toasted”, used since 1917 and still printed on current packs, refers to heat-curing of the leaf rather than sun-drying.
The Click & Roll line carries a crushable capsule in the filter. Cigarettes sold in the European Union are required to meet the reduced ignition propensity standard EN 16156.
The White Pack: A 1942 Redesign
The white pack with the red circle replaced the brand’s dark-green pack in 1942, and the redesign is attributed to the industrial designer Raymond Loewy. The Nationalmuseum in Stockholm holds the 1942 design in its collection, and the white field with the red circle remains the basis of current packs.
