They do not sell filtered luckies in the states,which is a bummer. All they sell here are unfiltered,which have incredible taste,but I like filtered cigarettes, so I could never smoke these regularly. Pretty weird how the classic American cigarette is practically exclusive to Europe.

very nice "classic" cigarrette with a truly toasted taste, like its been homecooked. They are pretty hard on the lungs and give a headrush like no other, but its unfiltered so eh. Other than camel wides they are the only non menthol (and only non filter) cigarrette i can smoke (and like) tho i consider these delicacy cigarrettes that are best saved for a rainy day and not to be chain smoked until your coughing up blood and cancer chunks.

Oh and i bought mine at K mart for fucking $5.15! Newports are only $3 at the gas station! No wonder Kmart is going out of business.... but yea they are hard to find, msot tobacco shops in the US dont even carry them

I love luckys. They have to be my favorite cig. Very relaxing and the taste is great. I chained 2 of them once and a got so buzzed I crapped my pants. damn...that was horrible. But other than that it was great experience

can u find these at a gas station? Someone on RIA recommended i try these. they any good? drop me a comment lucky strike smokers please?

great flavor, and a classy smoke, but not easy to find at gas station's etc.

strong but not harsh with a nice distinct flavor,very nostalgic classic cig, i recommended any smoker try em, if your not a smoker dont start!

Nonfilter Luckies are my favorite smokes. They have a classic, nutty flavor to them. I tried the filtered variety, but they just didn't cut it. I noticed a strange aftertaste...sort of like ammonia sprinkled with nutmeg. Blech.

I agree with all the positive comments, these were one of the first brands I had and definitely one of the best. They have a distinct, strong aroma but still not too harsh or overpowering, they also tend to be one of the less expensive brands, I would say they are more for men I shared one with a friend of mine who is female and she liked them but did not prefer them, to be honest I have only had the unfiltered but they get a 5/5 from me.

I smoked for many years and Luckies was my brand. LSMFT was the slogan and that was true. (Lucky Strikes Means Fine Tobacco--we heard in on the radio and tv all the time!)

I worked on highway construction for a few years and this is the brand you could roll up in your tee shirt sleeve a la James Dean. Of course this was 1961!

Only have had a drag off a buddies cig a few weeks before the filters back in my old town got dicontinued in the US.
The taste was extremely smooth, and a unique taste that could only be described as 'toasty'. They also didnt leave an unplesant taste in my mouth.

I got to say, no cigarette has ever matched up to that one single drag, I've tried the unfilters though, and still smoke em every once and a while, but its defenetly not the same.

Im thinking about buying a carton online, seeing how cheap they are in europe.
5/5

The toughest of the tough. These were given to U.S soldiers in WWII for free. They toast the tobacco which gives um a unique flavor. the kick is the greates you will get and the smoke draws through like a sucking on a straw because they have no filter. great taste, tough, great cig.

absolutely great. The best smoke ever. It has a unique taste to it. The closest thing to the toasted flavor I can think of is... toasted flavor.. along with popcorn, and a big nutty. Must have

Great cigarettes, Lucky Strikes really dont strike out anything.

Filtered Lucky Strikes along with Lucky Strike Lights are simply the best cigarettes I've ever tried, and I've tried many. The flavor is incredibly distinctive, with that toasted flavor that reminds me of hickory or cedar. So many sublte complexities of flavor in a Lucky Strike The smoke itself is smooth but has some kick to it, but it's not overly harsh... it's just right. The unfortunate thing is that Lucky Strike has discontinued the filters and the lights in the US. Lucky Strike unfiltereds are still available of course, but I don't like unfiltered cigarettes. If you can find a pack of Lucky Strike Filters or Lucky Strike Lights, don't hesitate to buy it. They can be expensive, but this is a first-class cigarette.

These are the all-time classic cigarettes, they are not as strong as camels or chesterfields, but very rich in tobacco taste and have a nice kick to them too. The toasted flavor is unique, and not harsh. They get the job done, and are great if you want a great smoking experience.

stopped bringing them into australia :(

I was recently in Europe, Barcelona to be exact and I tried lucky strike reds and silvers and since I didn't smoke one after the other I can't make a direct comparison, but while smoking each pack I kept thinking that it was the best filtered cigarette I've ever had...probably partially due to my not having one for 3 days prior but regardless, gets a 5, I recommend them. EDIT: Bought some non filters locally, still delicious. I've found my brand.
EDIT #2: Very recently, I found a place which sells the filtered version and, while slightly different from the ones in Spain, they're by far my favorite brand. Definitely worth trying.

not huge on unflitered cigarettes, but these were not bad. I don't buy them frequently, but if you like unfiltered this is the brand to go for

These are the best non - filtered cigs in the world been around from the stone age! These things freaking rock!!

One word....fantastic.

I've been looking all over Hawaii for a pack of these and last night my friend showed up at my room and tossed them too me. Don't know where he got em, still gotta ask him but these are great. They have a great taste in my opinion and are really strong; i'm feelin the buzz off of them.

Only thing I don't like much about em is that for the first couple drags I keep spitting little tobacco bits out but I pretty much expected that from a cig with no filters. Awesome cigarette though.

My Brand! Love em. Back in the '70s One Lucky had weed in it and who ever chose it had to buy the next pack. Love em.

Not only is it tobacco, it's unfiltered tobacco (or was at one time). Yet another fine example of how to kill brain cells...

im a very old naval officer who has smoked a pack of luckies each day since the early 1940's when the white part on the pack was olive drab green and the motto was "Luckies Go To War"...you can look it up.....turn your pack over and read the initials LSMFT on the bottom ....that stands for LUCKY STRIKE MEANS FINE TOBACCO......or, if you were a blue water sailor trying to convince the japanese (with VERY large mortars) NOT to enslave the philipines, the initials meant LOOSE SWEATERS MEAN FLOPPY TITS....
please excuse the disconnected ramblings of forgettable old vet....
it was completely MY pleasure to serve.

You haven't really had a Lucky Strike until you have the unfiltered version. It captures the 'toasted' flavor better than the filtered variation. However, both have won me over and I started smoking them this summer. They are very tasty and have a wholesome, pure tobacco taste. They are also expensive, a dollar more than your standard pack.

I don't do unfiltered cigarettes--they're just way too strong for me. However, I do love the lights, despite the fact that they're unbelievably expensive and hard to find. It's good to switch to them once in a while, but just be prepared to spend $7 on a pack.

RJ Reynolds gained control of this brand sometime back in 2005. They totally changed the product. Anyone that smoked this brand (Non-filter) before the takeover had to have noticed the change. There is alot of reconstituted tobacco in these now and more additives. They even reduced the circumfrence of the cigarette. The 21st century caught up to this cigarette. I loved this brand when it was manufactured by Brown & Williamson and American Tobacco -- IT WAS PERFECT! I now roll my own using Two Timer tobacco by D&R tobacco.

Not liking unfiltered Lucky Strike is like not liking a cold bottle of Coca-Cola. Luckies are just so classic tasting - sweet, nutty and sooo mild for an unfiltered smoke. I bought a pack in Philly the other weekend and holy $^#% are these things good! It had been a long time...and these really are not harsh (don't pull on them hard, duh!). Buy them only from super busy stores to make sure they're fresh. Stale cigarettes of any kind burn hot and taste harsh. But as far as smokes go, you can't beat the US unfiltered version. Damn good - and PS, the "It's Toasted" comes from the Burley tobacco used in these smokes being fire cured twice, rather than air cured. Gives a much sweeter, milder flavor. I want one right now!

Smoked a carton of Lucky's in five hours while tripping in Vermont. Never smoked them since.

Gets 5 only because I'm not dead yet...

tastes like a campfire

Best Red Cig.
In my opinion, Luckys are #2 only after blend 27s.

sorry lucky, your packs are too expensive. Make them $4 a pack and you'd be #1 in my opinion.

Kick in the throat good! I like STRONG smokes that have a good flavor. Great taste. I have been smoking these for 3 years now (switched from Camel Non-Filters) and I enjoy em'.

These smokes just have something specisal about them, they have been around for over 100 years, theyre featured in films such as GoodFellas, they have an original name, original packaging, original slogans and original taste. Also the commercials make me laugh. I agree with most of the reviews here, and I found that I had to comment on the best smoke ever. Lucky Strike, It's Toasted.

It's a terrible reason but I'll occasionally smoke these for sentimental value. My great uncle used to smoke luckies. I do like the taste. thery're smoother than Camel nonfilters but stronger than Pall Malls. Anyone who wants to see old ads, including one or two Lucky Strike ads, go to classictvads.com and check out the commericals. It's a pretty cool site.

Yowza. Beware ye all who enter here. The closest you'll come to a cigar with white paper and a bit of sponge at the end, both in taste and magnitude. A very nice smoke with a very unique flavour - if you can stomach 'em. Not for you light smokers - one of these puppies will blow your head off. Like myself, for example - I once smoked 11 in a row and nearly collapsed. Enough said.

Not bad, but not terribly easy to find and I don't go out of my way to get them. Occasionally buy a pack for the nostalgic value.

if u want a buzz, get the filterless, nuff said. an amazing smoke! satisfied after only one! buy em, smoke em, buy em again!

The great American cigarette! They're toasted, dammit!

My favorite cigarette of all time. The toasted flavor... The coolness of the package. This is the greatest cigarette of all time. You will not regret it. I can't put this into words how much I love this cigarette!

Only smoked one ever, I bummed it off a Japanese sailor in Hawaii. Standard American cigarette albeit quote strong. Love them just for their iconic nature - my mind can't envison the classic American dog-face GI, circa WWII, without a crumpled pack of Luckys in his pocket.

"It's Toasted" and I love it, unfiltered hits hard and gives you an awesome high, i havent tried the filters but i will Awesome flavour, pretty slow burn, just make sure you tap the end you light on something a few times to avoid getting tobacco in your mouth, such an easy pull and full flavour

I liked the first few. But after a pack, I didn't care for them. They're too dry and have a weird toasted flavor.

The Lights were ok but uninspiring

A woman I knew in childhood smoked these things constantly. In my mind's eye, I can still see the smoke curling up around her yellowed fingers. Needless to say, she's dead now from what was described as Classic smoker's cancer. It manifested itself first as a brain tumor, but the cancer had actually originated in the lung. The brain tumor was successfully removed, but she died soon afterward from the lung cancer. It was not a pleasant death.

the kind without filter is very good ... better than the camel in the same kind ...

A great cigarette. The only reason to get these is fot the unfiltered kind. The filters are good too but not really that much different from your basic cigarette. Getting back to the non-filters, they are really strong, but really good. Just a heads up, they'll knock you on your ass if you're not careful. Also, another problem is that you sometimes get tobacco in your mouth when smoking these which is very unpleaseant.

It's hard to put into words why I love Lucky Strikes so much. I dunno if it's the great taste, the elegant package, or the image associated with it. For me, Luckies will always contain memories. With each one I smoke, I think about the time I kissed that girl under the stars, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't wash her smell out of my sweatshirt. Maybe it's the time Tim and I let our legs dangle off the dock, as we talked about what we were gonna do after we got out of school. As somebody who lives in a permanant state of nostalgia, Luckies are important, because they remind of good times, good tunes, and good friends.

Good strong cigarette. Would have smoked them more if they where longer. But good to smoke. Tasty. Gives a good kick.

STRONG. They have such a rich, thick and tasty flavor, I wanted to smoke a lot more of them, but my poor throat SCREAMED, GIVE IT A REST!!! They are good and the after taste is super, but they are a wee bit hard on the throat.

Have to change my rating to 5 stars because I can't stop smoking them. They have become my favorite smoke (other than pipe). Nutty flavor and good after taste.

I like them for the funny little random fun facts about working for the Tobacco Company notes. They're an alright smoke, however the unfilterds are a little on the harsh side for me

They taste great, but TOO STRONG. I'll try the lights and see how that goes.

I never did care for Lucky Strike cigarettes, but they do have there place in the Age of Innocence history of tobacco. I know alot of older people who still enjoy these cigarettes...

Ok. Frist of all lukies are since 1910's They are ancient and great cigarettes.Second they put the finest tobaccos ur money can buy*But they also add some chemical additives*The design is amazing definetly my brand.And when i go to a wedding or a hotel*STYLISH* i pick some Davidoff They also RULE.

I think you either love Lucky's or ya hate em. simple as that. They have a reputation, like I've had people come up to me and say "you're smokin a Lucky? are you trying to kill yourself?" but it's something about the taste and the feel of the strong smoke that you can't get with any other kind of cig. I love em after a good date, or as an after dinner smoke.

Luckies really do have a unique toasted flavor. I love these cigarettes. I can't always find them though. I prefer them with filters because I am kinda wimpy. I smoke a pack a day, just to make sure no one mistakes me for some sort of pinko commie.

Luckies were there for our boys in the trenches of WWII, they're an American original. They're a real man's cigarette, so go out and buy a carton now, even if you don't smoke.

I don't know why I like them so much; I think it has to do with the "it's toasted" on the package.

Definately an interesting taste. The curing process makes a very good cig. While not up to par with Marb or Camel, they're definately a good change from the norm.

Tried these once, and they are pretty good. They taste toasty! They are quite relaxing! Pick up a pack and try em!

with a filter is the best you cant beat toasted tobacco.

All I have tried is the lights and they are stronger than most full flavors I have had. My first reaction was that they were awful,b ut the toasty flavor kind of grows on you. If you want to smoke lights but they are too airy you should try these...they are very strong lights...stronger than Camel Lights

Cigs are bad, especially these. Make your lungs black, they're yours. If you've ever gotta run, good luck. If you need money, there it goes. do whatever you want people but i choose to spend my money other ways. I smoked cigs too, but you feel a lot better by avoiding them.

One of the most classic smokes of all time!! It's my favorite brand, I smoke two packs a day!!

not good enough
