You shouldn't believe everything you read in the press. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
If you think that the Saturn is the 'smokiest' rocket ever, I think that you should watch some of the film of one of the launches. That clearly shows very little smoke for an engine that is consuming 15 tons of propellant a second. Much of the 'smoke' you see as it clears the launch tower is in fact steam from the sound suppression water deluge. Once clear of the tower and in flight there is next to no smoke at all.
You could also compare it to the launch of any Shuttle Orbiter, where the solid fuel boosters (SRB) create more smoke than you could shake a stick at. That might qualify as the 'smokiest'.
