Core Variant Specifications

The flagship Lucky Strike Red delivers 10mg tar and 0.8mg nicotine in its non-filter version. Modern filtered iterations maintain similar strength while slightly smoothing the experience. The tobacco blend uses noticeably more Virginia leaf than comparable American classics.

Smoking Experience

Original Red offers a robust, earthy smoke with the characteristic "toasted" flavor that made the brand famous. The draw is tight by modern standards, producing thick smoke that carries woody and slightly sweet notes.

Blueberry Menthol variants balance the traditional Lucky Strike base with cooling menthol and a subtle berry undertone. The flavoring is more restrained than many modern menthol blends.

Notable Features

  • Toasting process (since 1917) creates distinctive caramelized notes
