Spud Hughes died in 1967 in Pennsylvania. So he just may have gone to work for Penn Tobacco at some point.pwlsaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301642133484044429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-82064485103797582072012-07-31T19:40:07.972-07:002012-07-31T19:40:07.972-07:00Thanks for the information.

Even a little sophisticated. That changed once they started losing smokers to Kool. <br /><br />About 1957 PM reformulated Spud to a "touch of menthol" filter cig which didn't do well. By '59 they brought out a full-menthol brand, Alpine, and Spud was on the way out. <br /><br />Spud Hughes, btw, tried marketing another menthol smoke he called Julep after the buyout. It disappeared and so did he - an internal company memo from Lorillard says he was "never heard from again"...pwlsaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301642133484044429noreply@blogger.com
