About this Vintage Print Ad

This advertisement for Pall Mall Famous Cigarettes encourages consumers to compare their current cigarette to Pall Mall, highlighting its longer size (over 20% longer), which provides more tobacco and a cooler smoke. The ad emphasizes the smoothness of Pall Mall due to a special 'bulking' process and claims a richer, milder flavor. The ad features a military theme, with soldiers relaxing and smoking, and includes a visual comparison area for placing an old cigarette next to a Pall Mall.

  • Brand: Pall Mall Cigarettes
  • Product: Pall Mall Famous Cigarettes
  • Tagline: Compare Pall Mall with your old cigarette
  • Publication: Life Magazine
  • Year: 1940
