That's what I remember, too. Weren't they longer in length than most,
or all, cigarettes of the day?

Next came Kent "with the micronite filter."

Like inhaling air. I tried smoking them as an aid in quitting, but
they were so unsatisfying I smoked more.

As time when by, I changed
to "off" brands because of the price. As many here (in AUE) know, I
finally quit (after 40 years) in January of 2002.

I quit a 60 Camel Lights a day habit about two years ago. Boy, did
that ever improve my life.
