## About <!--about-->
Lucky Strike is a cigarette brand introduced in 1871 as a plug tobacco by the American firm R. A. Patterson and developed into a cigarette by the early 1900s. It is owned by the British American Tobacco group and marketed as a global brand, while R. J. Reynolds continues to sell the non-filtered original in the United States. Its cigarettes are colloquially called "Luckies".[^wikipedia]
