Lucky Strike

[Caprice]

I just finished my first carton of these things and they were very good but a bit too expensive. I browsed the internet and found that Lucky Strike is a popular brand of cigarette in Europe. So much so, they come in a variety of styles with filters. Here in the USA only the soft pack non-filter is sold. It is also somewhat hard to obtain Lucky Strikes here, only tobacco shops carry them.
I was wondering, if anyone on the boards here from Europe could tell me if it is true that Lucky Strike is a popular brand in Europe. I think it was Spain and Ukraine that favors them the most?
