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.

Tiparillo, and Violinists

Playboy Nov. 1967
Here's another Tiparillo ad, from the same vein as this one, which focuses on seducing confusingly scantily-clad professionals with cigarettes.
Ad text:
     After a tough evening with the Beethoven crowd, she loves to relax and listen to her folk-rock records. Preferably, on your stereo.
     She's open-minded.  So maybe tonight you offer her a Tiparillo. She might like it - the slim sigar with a white tip. Elegant.  And, you dog, you've got both kinds on hand.  Tiparillo Regular and new Tiparillo M with Menthol - her choice of mild smoke or cold smoke.
     Well? Should you offer? After all, if she likes the offer, she might start to play.  No strings attached.
