Quote:

It takes three years to prepare the tobaccos that make Old Gold a smoother cigarette. The throat scratch begins to leave when its Better Tobaccos are allowed full time to mellow and ripen. The irritation goes when they are completely freed from dust and impurities. The roughness disappears when they are blended to honey-smoothness, with no artificial treatment added. Three years to make your throat say ok and your taste to say 100% but it's worth it to Old Gold, and to you.

Comments:

“Give your throat the comfort of a throat-easy cigarette” this ad explains. Old Golds are supposedly “completely freed from dust and impurities.” A healthful cigarette? If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. And who knows what the figure, “61% of all illness begins at the THROAT” truly means for smokers?
