Sad news about plain cigarette packs. I remember when fag ads were the very acme of sophistication

[Classic Jorge]

Even your Rothman's ads had a certain charm.

Anyway, fags aren't bad for you, really. Are they? This doctor seems quite in favour of them.

Generally speaking, though, the better the cigarette ads, the nastier the cigarettes. Benson & Hedges and Silk Cut had the best ads, but were horrible. Whereas Marlboro and Camel (my weapons of choice) had ads that looked like nobody could be really bothered putting in an effort.

In my memory the shot if the interior of an E-Type. We see a Dunhill pack and hand on the gear lever holding a lit fag. The sleeve from which the hand protrudes have 4 gold bars so we know he's a pilot.

I wonder if this ad actually existed, or whether I made it up from a collection of images?

nice typography, didn't they? As cigarettes, they were nothing special and - as I recall - weren't a great deal more expensive than other fags.

Actually, the best fag/creative combo was undoubtedly JPS. You can't go wrong with all black when you're looking to recruit teenagers to the cause.

Sadly Marlboro's baby based campaigns never got the traction their homoerotic cowboy ones achieved.

good idea when selling cigarettes, really.

He happened to invent a pipe for motorists, which led him into the tobacco market. I commend the Jermyn St store to you for essentials such as cuff links, suspenders and braces, as well as cashmere - although their cashmere socks can in no way be compared with the offering at Turnbull & Asser, naturally.

:hehe: Cashmere socks. A fool and his money...

great for protecting your soft packs, not so great when it dug into your groin as you sat down...

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I suppose some people might make the mistake of having them laundered - clearly this will not work. As long as you remember to have them dry-cleaned by a reputable establishment, they will last for years.

The elasticated sock is a wonderful thing. I wear a sock suspender for no man.

I'm aware you may actually be able to prove it :-(
