How Mild can a cigarette bo? Smoke CAMELS and see/
“’Mildness is all-important to me as a singer. 1 smoke the cigarette that agrees with my throat— Camels!” |
EOWA
FORMER STAR OF "SOUTH PACIFIC"
Every day, more and more smokers are finding the answer to cigarette ~mildness, They're making their-own Camel 30- Day Mildness-Tests «+ smoking Camels regularly for 30 days.
It's the sensible test! No short cuts, no tricks! No snap judgments based on one puff or ore sniff. Not just a one-time, one- inhale comparison. Instead, you smoke Camels—and only Camels—giving them a real, day-after-day tryout. You judge Camel's choice tobaccos in your own “T- Zone’ —the best proving ground for a cigarette. Once you've made the Camel
30-Day Test, you know how mild a cigarette can
be!
Ezio Pinza, one of the all-time greats of
the opera, became America’s No. 1
matinee
idol when he starred in “South Pacific”. Mr. Pinza chooses the cigarette he smokes with the same care as the roles he plays.
