"Easy on the throat.."
You gotta love that, especially if you've had a tracheotomy for throat cancer caused by smoking... One of my clients was so addicted to smoking, he actually continued to smoke through his tracheotomy opening, after his cancer surgery...

Chesterfield sponsored the Glenn Miller radio show in the early 40s, and in the mid- 1930s, I think Camel cigarettes sponsored the Benny Goodman show with the Camel Caravan.

Remember Caruso died at 48. His voice darkened by 1920.

The only short non-filtered cigarette I see around here is Camel, and they are $2 higher than any other brand.
