of smoking experience have
told Bill Corum what scientists
have confirmed in their research
laboratories — that the slower •
cigarette burns, the cooler and
milder the smoking. Some ciga
rettes burn fast, some slower,
some just in between. Laboratory
tests show Camels are definitely
slower - burning (details below).
Turn to Camels and get the extras
in smoking pleasure—extra mild
ness, extra coolness, extra flavor,
and extra smoking. Or, as Bill
Corum puts it: “More pleasure
per puff and more puffs per pack! ”
In recent laboratory tests,
CAMELS burned 25% slow
er than the average of the
15 other of the largest-sell
ing brands tested — slower
than any of them. That
means, on the average, a
smoking plus equal to
