(CNN)Tally-ho, Marlboro Man.
Best known as the rugged cowboy who starred in the Marlboro Man cigarette advertisements, Darrell Winfield died Monday at home in Wyoming at age 85.
His cause of death was not listed in his obituary on a Fremont County, Wyoming, news website.
Often called the most successful tobacco advertising campaign ever, the Marlboro Man appealed to American men because of his masculinity, individuality and freedom.
Though some of the Marlboro Men in the famous cigarette advertisements launched in the 1950s were actors, Winfield was the real thing.

85! There goes all the smoking kills. Along with the second hand smoke. Truth is when its your time its your time.
so agree 1:53....
He might have seen 105 without the cancer sticks...
"Filter, Flavor, Pack or Box - come to Marlboro Country"
Might have been hit by a bus at 65, 4:18.
Oh, that's why he stayed out of the City!
Smokers have rights. Once smoking is eradicated they'll tax the hell out of gyms and protein shakes etc. It all boils down to once the government has used a group , this case the smokers and the tax money from it for years....they'll get rid of you and move on. And the same cycle continues. The only safe groups in are energy companies.
