Swell tasting!
I liked Marlboro red box but every few weeks would get a pack of Camels to mix things up. I liked their taste but they ended up hurting my throat more. Micky must have been more manly than me if he thought they were mild.
My mom told me plenty of times her doctor recommended she smoke a cigarette every once in while to keep my birth-weight down. She was pretty tiny and they worried I'd be too big. I don't know if she was joking with me or not.
