Excerpt:
“SUPER-MILD SPUD combines three things for the first time in cigarette history. Vintage tobaccos. Moisture ‘sealed in the leaf.’ And menthol! Spud started the menthol-treatment of tobaccos, and still owns the secret of its effective use.”
The first menthol cigarette was developed by Lloyd “Spud” Hughes and Axton-Fisher Tobacco Co. later acquired the patent.
This is a 88 yr. old original vintage ad removed from a 1936 publication and is not a reproduction of any kind.
