"That full, rich flavor is great — and no matter how much I smoke, Camels-always taste swell. What’-s more, the . extra smoking in Camels is mighty welcome economy.” GRAND CHAMPION ALL-'ROUND COW BOY FRITZ TRUAN also has a Saddle Bronc title to his credit. Wherever the riding is the roughest . . . you’ll .find Fritz in action—and, if not riding, he’ll probably be enjoying a Camel (above). "Camels are extra mild. I’ve smoked ’em for 10 years,” says Fritz. “LESS NICOTINE in the smoke makes good horse sense to me,” explains Bareback Bronc ace Hank Mills (left). "Camels have the mildness that counts. They’ve got the flavor, too.” Everywhere you go, it's the same—for extra mildness, coolness, and flavor, there's nothing like a Camel—America’s favorite. The smoke of slower-burning Camels contains 28% LESS NICOTINE than the average of the 4 other largest-selling cigarettes tested—less than any of them—according to independent scientific tests of the smoke itself!
