Lark is an American cigarette brand that existed from 1963 to 1999. In the 1980s, Lark was promoted with James Bond-style appearances by Timothy Dalton and Roger Moore in Japanese TV commercials. Future Bond, Pierce Brosnan, also advertised for Lark in two commercials that aired only in Japan. In the late 1980s, Philip Morris allegedly spent $350,000 to have the Lark brand appear in the film Licence to Kill. See less
