It's a "Lucky" cigarette, and originates from the First World War.Cigarettes only came in packs of 10 then, and you'd open a pack, turn one upside down and smoke it last, because if you lived long enough to do so, you were lucky.

How is the upside down one more lucky?Surely if you buy a pack of ten, and smoke 9, the remaining one is 'lucky'
I appreciate entertainment could be pretty limited in teh Wartime, but still...

No - you were lucky if you lived long enough to smoke the tenth.The cigarette wasn't lucky - you were lucky to live that long.
