How many can you remember?

2) Taryton (just can't remember how to spell it) - "I'd rather fight, than switch"
3) Virginia Slims - "You've come a long way, baby"
4) Winston - "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should"

keep them coming, I can't remember them all.

I'm embarrassed. Smoked Camels for 30+ years and couldn't remember, "I'd walk a mile for a Camel."8-o

That website did bring back a lot of memories though! Remember, when Gilligan's Island was in B&W?

L&M Cigarettes - "Just what the doctor ordered."

Wow... I bet.

I might go looking for the ciggy ads with the surgeon general advocating smoking as "harmless".

Poke around here for an hour or 2 and see if you can get the jingles out of your head

I do get a kick out of the old time non filter Camel adds with men and women alike going on about how mild they are.

I used to love a non filtered Camel now and again but "Mild" was not the word I would use. Makes you wonder what a "harsh" cigarette must have tasted like?

Ammonia, broken glass maybe mace?
