PREFERRED BY AN ORIGINAL
Years after his untimely death, Hunter S. Thompson remains a cultural icon to millions all over the world. He was a true original... and the world’s most famous TarGard fan.
A lifelong smoker, Hunter was rarely photographed without his trusty TarGard Permanent Filter System in hand. A true believer and brand advocate, he often sang the praises of his simple, affordable “TarGards” to smokers he met during his adventures.
As we close in on 20 years since Hunter’s passing, we miss his tales, his unique perspectives, and his Gonzo spirit more than ever. But we know he’s still out there somewhere wandering the universe, a “fly in the soup”, with a big grin on his face and a TarGard clenched between his teeth. RIP, HST.
