My dad was a four pack a day smoker of unfiltered Camels until he quit in the mid 70s. I remember many of these commercials.
Pall Mall: Outstanding, AND they are mild.
Salem: "Take a breath. It's springtime."
Lucky Strike: "LSMFT. Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco."
Kent: (musical jingle) "Kent with the micronized filter, refines away harsh flavor, refines away hot taste. It makes the taste of a cigarette mild, like a sunny day in the month of May."
Winston: (musical jingle) "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should."
Camel: "I'd walk a mile for a camel."
Tareyton: "I'd rather fight than switch."
Yeah, I watched far too much TV when I was a kid in the 50s and 60s.
