The psycho serial killer scowl is a suspect choice for advertising. By design, Babe usually looks happy in ads.

Now we know where baseball fan Charlie Sheen swiped his trademark "Winning" catch-phrase from! A seriously badly designed fantasy piece.

Also note that it reads "Babe Ruth's Winning Cigarette below the added image of Ruth, but has "Cigarettes" everywhere else on the packaging.

Hope they didn't fake the tax stamp too, as that probably carries a greater penalty than anything else.

I'm not at all familiar with cigarette packs but the one thing I noticed about this pack was the 30 year or so gap between the Ruth portrait and the batter drawing on the other side. Is that generational difference known in legit packs or a good clue this pack is a fantasy piece?
