How Do You Pronounce Pall Mall Cigarettes?

I was watching old commercials from the Fifties, and they all pronounced it as "Pell Mell." When I worked in a department store customers always said, "Gimme a Paul Maul." When I went to England thy pronounced it "Pal Mal." Which is it?

lol, your question brings out the Carolina girl in me....it really don't matter how they pronounce it....all that matters is that the yodelin' cry for a fix of the Big Bad Red nicotine is heard and that a pack of the nasty stuff slides across the counter and into their pocket.

It's kinda like a visit to my Uncle's farm. He raises huntin' dogs and when a customer comes over to look at a new crop of pups scramblin' after their mom for a good feed. She don't care if they're yappin' for a "tit" - "tat" - or "tittie" just as long as the business gets done quick and she can have some peace!
