I grow everything that’s edible, darn near. I also like to sit quietly in my den, and smoke. Picking the right hobby for yourself is pretty much a matter of taste.

The Right Smoke We thoroughly agree with Mr. Andrews' thought that picking the right smoke is a matter of taste. And Mr. Andrews, like count¬ less smokers, believes that Luckies taste better.., Two important facts tell why Luckies taste better. First, L.S./M.F.T.—Lucky Strike"’ means fine tobacco. Second, Luckies are made " better to taste better. It’s as simple as that. ! - : We sincerely suggest that you try Luckies and discover the added smoking enjoyment^* that better taste can give you.
