My dad smoked Camel no-filters for decades, real coffin nails. Around 1968 his doctor told him that they were gonna kill him. He came home from work one Friday, had dinner with the family, went into the master bedroom and didn't come out until Monday morning. Never smoked another cigarette, just quit cold turkey. What a stud he was.

I casually smoked cigarettes on and off from age 18 to 26 (a pack a week or less), and tried something different almost weekly; everything from Kentucky's Best (America's Worst), Pall Mall, Marb Reds to Winston... Lucky Strike unfiltered was by FAR the best cigarette I've tried, that toasted flavor is distinctive. Camel unfiltered was second best, then Turkish Royal, and Parliament was cool with the recessed filters.
I quit smoking 2 years ago but i wish i had experienced the tume when different cig brands had truly different tastes. I went from merit to pall mall to licky strike and others but they all had the same flavour to me.

@@datatsushi2016 oh I'm not bashing anyone that does smoke. I actually agree with you. I quit because I couldn't breathe well. Already have a bit of asthma, cigarettes didn't help.
On 5th May 2021 I will have given up smoking 🚬 for a whole year having smoked for the past 28 years. Cigarettes in the uk are almost £15 a packet. I smoked roll ups for years. In the time I quit recently I have taken up walking, and yesterday walked a 12 mile round trip. Couldn’t have been able to do that if I was hooked on the dreaded weed....... 😇
Now Tarytons.... my grandmother smoked those. They had the charcoal filter correct? I always thought they were a bit harsh. Winstons, on the other hand, were a good smoke, but lacked in flavor. How do you feel about them?
@@azforu29 smoking cigarettes is a nasty filthy disgusting habit. If I wanted that taste in my mouth and that smell on my clothes, I'd lick my dog's ass and roll in the trash.
Tobacco often smells wonderful...almost surreal... until burned. From all I can tell, the FILTERS greatly increased the health risks of smoking. Study after study showed that cigarette smokers instinctively puffed more and held the smoke longer until "satisfied". Nicotine is not the only chemical in cigarettes that affects the experience and the filters required using flavorants, etc. in attempts to offset filter losses.
Lucky's were good. I liked Camel's better. Now that I think of it, Pall Mall's were the best - non filter, fresh tobacco. But for the better, I haven't smoked in decades.
@@paulbradford6475 same here camel wides that was my brand after u smoke a camel wide other cigarettes aren’t the same... but I haven’t smoked in years now there like 10bucks 10 bucks will get me a 12 pack I’d rather have cold one ... 🤣 BEST OF “LUCK” Too
I was maybe 3 at the time of this commercial. So this is from the time I have my earliest memories. All men wearing suits, those metal seats and tables of the cafe, women's clothing and hair styles, the stetson of the old man. All very, very nostalgic! And I'm glad I never started smoking... UPDATE: So, this is done around 2016 or something! I was fooled!
I know smoking is bad and people should quit , but i have to say : Lucky Strike were the best cigarettes that i have ever smoked ... I have stop smoking for like 7 years now , but when i see a pack of Lucky Strike i feel a little craving in my lungs , don't know why but DAM !!! Those Lucky were good ..
That's because this was before 1969 when the Public Health Smoking Act was passed. Such warnings didn't start appearing on tobacco products until 1970.
I was shipped to Germany in the late 50's and started using lucky strike because they were the cheapest ones sold on the ship, 17 cents a pack. In fact everything they sold in the Ship PX was cheaper because there were no taxes on anything.
@Kate Katz I arrived in Germany two years before Elvis, He got there in Oct of 58? I left several months before that but we both were sent there on the USS General Randall.
@@jonathantan2469 Unfiltered, You inhaled unfiltered Cigarettes' too. A lot of people lit a cigarette when they woke up in the morning but I could never light up a cigarette until after I ate, usually lunch time because I very seldom ate breakfast. I quit smoking over 50 years ago.
My fathers friend once told me a story when I was a kid and i didnt even smoke at the time. Every time when american soldiers were donated with cigarettes during the war, every week, there was one box in the whole truck that actually had a rolled weed joint in it. Every soldier could only pick one box of cigarettes, the one with weed was among them. The guy who picked it, had a lucky strike to get it. That is where the brand name came from...at least he told me so :D I somehow remember this story till today, and I only smoke Lucky Strikes because of that :D And when my children will ask me one day, why do I smoke, I will tell them this story.
I think that story is an urban myth. My Dad was a WWii vet and smoked non filtered Lucky Strikes his entire life. The original pack color during the war was green.
Lucky Strike was introduced as a brand of chewing tobacco by American firm R.A. Patterson in 1871, although it had evolved into a cigarette by the early 1900s. The brand name was inspired by the gold rushes of the era, during which only about four miners in a thousand were fortunate enough to strike gold, and was intended to connote a top-quality blend. A well-circulated urban legend holds that the name "Lucky Strike" referred to the presence of marijuana in some cigarette packs.
@@rustynailsish Slam someone? My reply was filled with nothing but pathos! Apparently you are guilty of slamming people and therefore project that accusation towards others! I have a very good sense of humor, it's just that I feel genuine sympathy for those who are still in vicious slavery to smoking anything except maybe purified water vapor. And I say that from the perspective of being a former tobacco smoker myself. There is nothing funny about being enslaved to sin, John 8:34.
Many world war 2 soldiers smoked Lucky Strike during their time in USA army and smoking kept USA soldiers calm or even relaxed but also reduced their stamina on long marches!
@@jakobaxxx You smoke filtered luckys too? You are just wasting damn fine good tobacco if you are doing that. Or smoke Benson and Hedges Gold 100's instead.
That’s what I thought initially, the cinematography, the colour of the video doesn’t seems right to me. it seems that this video is designed to look retro but it’s rather a modern version.
I figure the patch in connection with Tootsie-Pops would be the best way to stop/quit. The patch for the nicotine addiction and the Tootsie-Pop for the oral habit. The Tootsie-Pops of course have the caramel in the center which is like an extra treat you suck hard to get to.
For everyone who doesn't get it, this is not an original commercial, it was done probably in 2016 and just wants to capture how the commercials back then looked and felt like.

@Snarick Klash lol wut
"why not?"
On 5th May 2021 I will have given up smoking 🚬 for a whole year having smoked for the past 28 years. Cigarettes in the uk are almost £15 a packet. I smoked roll ups for years. In the time I quit recently I have taken up walking, and yesterday walked a 12 mile round trip. Couldn’t have been able to do that if I was hooked on the dreaded weed....... 😇
Wow what a good lucking guy, and he seems to get all the girls to notice him. Maybe I should start to carry lucky strikes
My parents smoked Tarytons and Winston's. "I'd rather fight than switch" and "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should."
Got changed to, "...like YOUR cigarette should!"
Now Tarytons.... my grandmother smoked those. They had the charcoal filter correct? I always thought they were a bit harsh. Winstons, on the other hand, were a good smoke, but lacked in flavor. How do you feel about them?
@@azforu29 smoking cigarettes is a nasty filthy disgusting habit. If I wanted that taste in my mouth and that smell on my clothes, I'd lick my dog's ass and roll in the trash.
Swell video. What a great production. I Love it.
Before I quit, I loved my Lucky nonfilters. LS MFT.
Nothing beats a refreshing cigarette.... I’d ask my ma, but she died from them at age 42
My grandfather and my dad also died from smoking.
@@Hammarsand My dad smoked 10 packs a day for 60 years and drank 2 cases of beer every day for 40 years. He recently died of Covid.
@@mt_gox damn that's a lot of cigs. Packs of beer you mean 12 packs? Sorry for your loss but damn sounds like a legend.
My mother died from smoking at age 17
I’m sorry. Hard to find words that can express my true feelings

Most aesthetic thing i've seen tonight
Tobacco often smells wonderful...almost surreal... until burned. From all I can tell, the FILTERS greatly increased the health risks of smoking. Study after study showed that cigarette smokers instinctively puffed more and held the smoke longer until "satisfied". Nicotine is not the only chemical in cigarettes that affects the experience and the filters required using flavorants, etc. in attempts to offset filter losses.
Best thing i've seen in 5000years!
Ahh Lucky Strike it's breathtaking
literally
Wonder how the algorithm found me. I smoke about 9 packs a year, all Lucky Strike.
the filming was incredible for its year
DAM I HAVENT HAD A LUCKY STIRKE IN YEARS I THOUGHT THEY STOP MAKING THEM ... BUT I STOP SMOKING
Lucky's were good. I liked Camel's better. Now that I think of it, Pall Mall's were the best - non filter, fresh tobacco. But for the better, I haven't smoked in decades.
@@paulbradford6475 same here camel wides that was my brand after u smoke a camel wide other cigarettes aren’t the same... but I haven’t smoked in years now there like 10bucks 10 bucks will get me a 12 pack I’d rather have cold one ... 🤣 BEST OF “LUCK” Too
Luckies are back on the market
@@Niagara716 ... when I wasn’t smoking camels I was smoking “LUCKY STRIKES
i liked that. cool recreation
And the newspaper reads, "And the message from Earth: We're Breathing Again!"
I was maybe 3 at the time of this commercial. So this is from the time I have my earliest memories. All men wearing suits, those metal seats and tables of the cafe, women's clothing and hair styles, the stetson of the old man. All very, very nostalgic! And I'm glad I never started smoking...
UPDATE: So, this is done around 2016 or something! I was fooled!
I know smoking is bad and people should quit , but i have to say : Lucky Strike were the best cigarettes that i have ever smoked ... I have stop smoking for like 7 years now , but when i see a pack of Lucky Strike i feel a little craving in my lungs , don't know why but DAM !!! Those Lucky were good ..
My grandfather was a 2 pac a day Lucky Strike smoker. He died at 89.
Notice the pack did not have the Surgeon General's warning.
That's because this was before 1969 when the Public Health Smoking Act was passed. Such warnings didn't start appearing on tobacco products until 1970.
@@GrnArrow092 There's no way this video was shot before the 2000s.
The new one have the warning on the side.
@@alienwarex51i3 it was July 21 AD 1969 , i know because the guy is reading a July 20 AD 1969 edition of the DAILY MIRROR

Smoked 30y and still smoking, FTW to die for
i actually got a pack a few years ago. it really was great
Still smoke them today. Still great
Still got more tar in your lungs than my towns got on its roads..
I smoke lucky strikes...the unfiltered ones
I smoked for 5 years I stopped now its been 25 days and I am feeling better
Lucky strike is my favorite cigarette 😍
Gonna go out and get a pack today!
Just try your chances for any cancer you can imagine.
This is like some ad you’d find in the pre-war fallout universe
All the others are poison Luckys are "toasted"
My dad is currently dying from smoking. Glad I saw how gross it was as a kid. Never ever tried it, never will.
Why didn't she try his cigarette around the back of the cafe?
hahahaha bro
Because part 2 is on another website ;)
@@bahenbihen 💀
We need more cigarette commercials again. Smoke em if you got em!!
When real legends existed!
Réal Life was in the past
I was shipped to Germany in the late 50's and started using lucky strike because they were the cheapest ones sold on the ship, 17 cents a pack. In fact everything they sold in the Ship PX was cheaper because there were no taxes on anything.
@Kate Katz I arrived in Germany two years before Elvis, He got there in Oct of 58? I left several months before that but we both were sent there on the USS General Randall.
Were they filtered ones or unfiltered ones? Also, how did folks back then smoke unfiltered cigs? Like a cigar, where you don't inhale?
@@jonathantan2469 Unfiltered, You inhaled unfiltered Cigarettes' too. A lot of people lit a cigarette when they woke up in the morning but I could never light up a cigarette until after I ate, usually lunch time because I very seldom ate breakfast. I quit smoking over 50 years ago.
My fathers friend once told me a story when I was a kid and i didnt even smoke at the time. Every time when american soldiers were donated with cigarettes during the war, every week, there was one box in the whole truck that actually had a rolled weed joint in it. Every soldier could only pick one box of cigarettes, the one with weed was among them. The guy who picked it, had a lucky strike to get it. That is where the brand name came from...at least he told me so :D I somehow remember this story till today, and I only smoke Lucky Strikes because of that :D And when my children will ask me one day, why do I smoke, I will tell them this story.
I think that story is an urban myth. My Dad was a WWii vet and smoked non filtered Lucky Strikes his entire life. The original pack color during the war was green.
@@generatorjohn4537 i dont really know, its just a story i was told as a kid and I liked it...
Lucky Strike was introduced as a brand of chewing tobacco by American firm R.A. Patterson in 1871, although it had evolved into a cigarette by the early 1900s. The brand name was inspired by the gold rushes of the era, during which only about four miners in a thousand were fortunate enough to strike gold, and was intended to connote a top-quality blend.
A well-circulated urban legend holds that the name "Lucky Strike" referred to the presence of marijuana in some cigarette packs.
Someone really knows about audiovisual language. This is really solid.
NOSTALGIA
Lucky strikes are toasted.
Nothing in life is better than the first drag of my Laramie cig in the morning.
Oooo....I’m sorry to hear about your life, SB.
@@brianmgrim You've missed the joke buddy
@@brianmgrim so quick to slam someone .. but its you that missed a comical reference. 🙄
@@rustynailsish Slam someone? My reply was filled with nothing but pathos! Apparently you are guilty of slamming people and therefore project that accusation towards others! I have a very good sense of humor, it's just that I feel genuine sympathy for those who are still in vicious slavery to smoking anything except maybe purified water vapor. And I say that from the perspective of being a former tobacco smoker myself. There is nothing funny about being enslaved to sin, John 8:34.
The only thing better than a Lucky: an actual American filterless Lucky in a soft pack.
So refreshing u cazz signò

The Old Man smoked 4 packs a day and worked for Con Edison, made it to 80 not bad!
Cigarettes taste great? I can't even stand the smell of them
They taste better than they smell.
The smell won't bother you anymore once you are addicted.
Funny how the actress doesn’t smoke IRL.
i thought that no more tv commercial for cigarette is allowed anymore
I am going to do advertisements for lucky strikes too. Thank you for inspiring me.
The comercial is old af
It isn't. I'd guess this is some kind of student film, probably for an assignment involving creating an ad as would have existed in the 1960s.
Landed here totally by accident and found one of the funniest sketches I have ever seen. Are you guys on TV and stuff
Is this a reenactment or something? It's not an actual commercial from back in the day.
I'm wondering the same thing. This was filmed rather recently.
Many world war 2 soldiers smoked Lucky Strike during their time in USA army and smoking kept USA soldiers calm or even relaxed but also reduced their stamina on long marches!
I would love to smoke filtered lucky strikes they only sell the unfiltered in the usa
Do u know why?
Why would yo smoke a filtered lucky? Unless you are a woman. Filtered luckys were originally marketed toward woman. So don't snap back at me.
@@eaglewarrior8707 Not anymore
@@jakobaxxx You smoke filtered luckys too? You are just wasting damn fine good tobacco if you are doing that. Or smoke Benson and Hedges Gold 100's instead.
@@eaglewarrior8707 I hate Benson and hedges
AAHAHAHA Funny. That was a good reenactment, just like the old days.
My Grandmother smoked from a teenager everyday, she lived to 96 without any major health problems.

Mine got to live to 91. Zero health problems and outlived many non smokers.
She died in her sleep btw. Heart just stopped. No pain or suffering.

this video is 4 1/2 years old..... and you beat me by less than a day!
Seems like getting a date was a lot easier back then.
This looks fake, like it’s a modern remake of an old commercial. Something is not quite right.
That’s what I thought initially, the cinematography, the colour of the video doesn’t seems right to me. it seems that this video is designed to look retro but it’s rather a modern version.
I figure the patch in connection with Tootsie-Pops would be the best way to stop/quit. The patch for the nicotine addiction and the Tootsie-Pop for the oral habit. The Tootsie-Pops of course have the caramel in the center which is like an extra treat you suck hard to get to.
I quit in Oct 2013, haven't touched one since, almost at 8 years.
09 for me. Bought my small truck that i could afford with the extra $$ still have truck and it's still mint.
No one cares
For everyone who doesn't get it, this is not an original commercial, it was done probably in 2016 and just wants to capture how the commercials back then looked and felt like.
And it still doesn't even come close
