How bout cigar smoke in the face? I bet that's even more fun than cigs (or Fags, if you a Brit.)

One time in Vegas my bro-in-law and I sat down at a $5 blackjack table at the Horseshoe and lit up a couple of La Gloria Cubanas (Made in Nicaragua, not Cuba). About 5 mins later we had the table to ourselves and a new dealer. Weird huh?

Don't you remember that's how we met mon petite? I blew smoke in your face and (presto!) here we are all these years later. Or maybe it was smoke up your ass?

Must have been great to be alive back then. I'm surprised Pauline doesn't remember some of them now that I think about it :)

By the way, you're suppose to say I don't smoke, never have smoked.

I saw a camel add just like that in an odd museum in Nashville Tennessee, only on top it said

Cammel: Just what the doctor ordered.

Ah, the delightful ignorance of yesteryear.

Blancodeviosa said...

macguffin- well you already said it. seems pointless now

eric- i wish we had blissful ignorance

I DO remember the Tipalet one.
A cigarette girl would walk through a restaurant with a box of smokes and in a sexy voice would say,
"cigars, cigarettes, tiparello's"

You sound like Hastings. So now I'm like Poirot, is that it?

The Lard ad is really quite special isn't it?

I guess if you were an employee of the 'Lard Information Council' and wanted a less challenging job, 'Baghdad Tourism Officer' might be the role that's tailor made...

Blancodeviosa said...

cat- did it work for ya ;)

macguffin- that's a good thing. but on second thought i don't want to be hastings :(

al- you know, i haven't ever thought of it that way, but i believe you hit it right in the head

I love antiquated commercials, particularly those from Maxwell House.

"You be a good little woman and put some Maxwell House on. Good to the last drop."
