2. That's How They Used to Pronounce It....
...back when they had cigarette ads on radio and TV.

3. I was standing next to a guy in the store
who was buying a pack of Pall Malls and asked, "are these kind very popular?"
Old guy at the counter replied, "Four million winos couldn't be wrong."

5. That's funny
My Grams was a "closet smoker." Unexpected visits found her with wisps of acrid smoke sans cigarette. We did find Pall Malls so we knew where there was smoke there was a smoking Gram ma. I loved her a lot.

8. They are very popular in former East Germany
Don't know why, but they got a big market share after the reunification. They are gaining popularity in the western part, too.

To me, they stink even worse than other cigs. Had a boss who chain smoked them, except when he got Kreteks (clove cigarettes from Indonesia).
