Lucky Strike is an iconic American brand of cigarettes, originally introduced as a brand of chewing tobacco in 1871 by R.A. Patterson in Richmond, Virginia. The brand became a cigarette in 1916 and rose to fame with its 'It's Toasted' marketing campaign, which emphasized the roasting of tobacco rather than sun-drying.
Regarding manufacturing and distribution, while the brand originated in the United States and is still produced there for the domestic market by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, the international rights belong to British American Tobacco (BAT). Consequently, Lucky Strike products found in Europe, including Spain (indicated by the Spanish health warnings on the packaging), are manufactured in various BAT facilities across the globe, primarily in Western Europe or Eastern Europe, depending on the specific supply chain.
Today, the brand is owned globally (outside of the USA) by British American Tobacco, one of the world's largest multi-category consumer goods businesses. BAT is headquartered in London, United Kingdom, and manages the production, marketing, and sale of the brand in over 80 countries.
