This web site is dedicated to the author
H. Allen Smith. American humorist, world traveler, and actually the funniest
author I have ever read.
I can't remember ever laughing out loud during the reading of any
other author. With the Smith books, I constantly get odd looks from my
family and other travelers. Even though I am careful with my collection of
books, I read them and I will take them to read when I travel.
This site is not a biography of the author, though I may at times
include biographical notes, I just want to show other readers the books I
have obtained and maybe encourage other people to pick up these books and
have a good time reading them.

I have changed my brand of cigarettes twice in my life.
I started with fine Illinois corn silk wrapped in the most delicate
newsprint available. Before long I switched to cubebs. I went from
cubebs straight to Lucky Strikes. That was my last switch. It was so
long ago that I can't remember the year. I do know that my pack of
Luckies has been my constant companion longer than my wife, and we've
been married twenty six years.
I can remember back to those ancient days when we Lucky smokers
considered it the ultimate in wit to walk into a store and say to the
man "Gimme a pack uh Fortunate Blows." Since then I have switched jobs,
razors, dentists, publishers, automobiles, phone numbers, and my stance
on the tee. My taste in books, ties, food, music and even friends has
changed has changed over the years, yet my taste for Luckies has
remained constant. To me, they just taste better.
It is foolish to say that a man who is dedicated to one brand of
cigarettes never gives the other brands a chance. There are occasions
when a Lucky smoker, for reasons of war, financial embarrassment, pure
hunger or requirements of etiquette, must smoke other cigarettes. I have
smoke them all. But not for long. What I like best is what tastes best.
You know what.
Lucky Strike Sums Up
To smokers everywhere, Luckies taste better... and two fact explain
why. In the first place L.S./M.F.T. - Lucky Strike means fine tobacco.
Then too, Luckies are made better to taste better - to draw freely and
smoke evenly.
So, Be Happy - Go Lucky. Remember, Luckies are made by the American
Tobacco Company. America's leading manufacturer of cigarettes.
1954 Cigarettes are still OK to smoke, actually they are
in fashion, HAS endorsed Lucky Strike.
