Thread Name: BS: Cigarettes, what brands?
Subject: RE: BS: Cigarettes, what brands?
I found a pack of Lucky Strike Greens while helping remove old dasks at my university...Remember the slogan.."Lucky Strike Greens have gone to war"?

There was a radio quiz show sponsored by Camel cigarettes, hosted by Bob Hawk, where winning contestans were called "Lemacs"...they had their own little singing jingle.

" You're a Lemac now, yes, a Lemac now,
There $700 dollars,
Filled up for next weeks scholars,
Bob Hawk will pay you when he hollers
YES!, You're a Lemac now."

they also listed each week the number of cartons of cigs they had sent to "our service men overseas"

singing commercial for Pall Mall (pronounced Pell Mell)...to tune of "Sweet Betsy from Pike"

"I'll tell you a story you'll never forget,
A story about you and your cigarette.
Enjoy smoother smoking, choose wisely, choose well..
Relax and enjoy yourself, light a Pall Mall.

Pall Mall, Pall Mall,
Smoke longer and finer and milder Pall Mall.
