What you'll find here:

This blog is a collection of vintage advertisements, posted Monday through Friday. All ads are scans from magazines in my collection (or those of my friends), so I claim no copyright over them. Remember, these ads are from bygone eras: don't get upset if you see something you don't like, nor excited if you see something you do.

If you particularly like an ad and want a hi-res copy for yourself, email or message me and I can send you one.

Tareyton's Charcoal Filter

Playboy Oct. 1968

That's friggin' adorable.  A wee sweater for your cigarette.  
     Here we also see a holdover from a previous Tareyton cigarette campaign: a man with a black eye, threatening to brawl with you over his choice of cigarettes.  I hope he's happy with his smokes; judging by that shiner he lost the fight.  Tareyton used to run full-page ads featuring black-eyed people asserting their preference for Tareyton (check back in the future to see some of these losers, I promise they're coming!).  It seems that campaign has taken second stage to clever means of attaching filters to cigarettes.

    So what's the takeaway?  Tareyton is for tweed-coated hooligans that smoke cardigan-wearing cigarettes and do a poor job of blocking their opponents' right hook.  Swell.

    This is amusing because cigarettes do not feel cold and therefore do not need a sweater.

      Any self-respecting cigarette should know not to wear that shade of red; it clashes with the orange filter. Pffft.
