3. “Spud” was actually the nickname of the founder of the company, Lloyd “Spud” Hughes, the inventor of tobacco mentholation. He sold the rights to the patent and the company for $90,000, which he blew on fast cars, fast aircraft, and (I’m guessing) fast women. He spent the rest of his life trying to invent another unique cigarette.
