Luckies (Lucky Strike) is one of the world's most iconic tobacco brands, originally introduced in 1871 by R.A. Patterson in Richmond, Virginia, USA. Originally launched as a brand of chewing tobacco, it transitioned into cigarettes in 1916 and became famous for its toasted tobacco process. The brand's distinctive 'Bullseye' logo was designed by industrial designer Raymond Loewy in 1940, solidifying its place in American pop culture.

Today, the brand ownership is split due to geographic licensing agreements. British American Tobacco (BAT) holds global rights to the brand outside of the United States. In the U.S. market, the brand is owned and marketed by RAI Services Company, a subsidiary of Reynolds American Inc., which is also ultimately owned by British American Tobacco following a 2017 acquisition. This tobacco pouch, featuring Belgian/multi-language health warnings, is produced for the European market and manufactured across various international facilities operated by BAT.
