SMOKE, BABY, SMOKE!


These vintage cigarette ads crack me up! Smoke if you want, I don't care. It's a personal choice. Adults should be free to inhale exorbitantly expensive carcinogens if they want to, but children shouldn't urge their parents to do so. Especially infants, who may not understand the subtleties of the argument.

Adults, on the other hand, are critical thinkers. They're smart enough to make conscious choices, such as whether or not to inhale flaming leaves, or to pay trillion dollar drug corporations to compromise their health. But kids should stay out of it!

CIGAR BOX ART




I love old cigar boxes -- and the old weird artwork that decorates them. The beautiful lettering, and rich lurid colors make me want to smoke a nice Cohiba or Montecristo -- and now that Castro has stepped down perhaps our fearless leaders will lift the longtime ban on Cuban cigars. (Damn, I promised myself I'd be civil. Oh, well.) Anyway, these are some of my cigar box favorites! Smoke 'em if you got 'em!
