What is this, Puff the Magic Dragon City?
“Puff, The Magic Dragon” is a song written by Peter Yarrow and Leonard Lipton in 1963. This folksy children’s song was sung by Peter, Paul & Mary. Released on the album Peter, Paul & Mommy in 1969.

They still had the brand’s feminine image, from the 20s when it was first advertised as a premium cig for women, to deal with. Plus
